15 Months!

Olivia had her 15 month Dr. appt. today.  Here are her stats:

Height: 30 1/2" tall
Weight:  19 lbs, 15 oz.

She is in the 10th percentile for weight and 50th percentile for height.  The Dr. said this is nothing to be concerned about, as long as she is eating well.  Everyone who knows Livy knows the girl is eating well!  She had to get two shots while we were there- Varicella (Chicken Pox) and MMR.  Livy's reaction to seeing the nurse was classic.  She took one look at her and said, "Going?  Bye?"   "Going? Going? Going!!!" as she tried to head out the door.  Because she was so aware of what was going to happen, these were by far the hardest shots for her to get, or at least the hardest ones for me to watch.  But she did recover quickly and was happy to meet a newborn named Olivia who was also on her way out.  Wow, my Olivia has grown so much since was my newborn!

Kyle and I are so proud of our 15 mos. old and all of her achievements.   Here's what daddy has to say about it~
{Ooh, it's my first official blog entry!  Basically, I am amazed by Livy on a daily basis.  She's either saying something I've never heard her say, like "Kyle" or "scooty pee-ew"; doing something I've never seen her do - like scamper from the living room to the kitchen in under 4 seconds; or she's just being a beautiful little girl who absorbs everything around her.  I don't know what keeps me on my toes more, her new found walking speed or her ultra-attentive ears - it's quite a combination!}

Here are Livy's favorite things at this age:

favorite activities:  swimming, dancing, singing, clapping, snuggling, going upside-down, hugging, finger plays like "bees in the hive", books, playing with blocks, bikes, coloring, toy animals, playgrounds, watching videos of her cousins again and again, pretending to clean, pretending to talk on the phone (mainly to call Nanny or Bop),  rocking a "doll baby".

favorite sayings:  "Get down. walk.", "up, up, up",  "again",  "hug", "Miss you."  "Morning!"  "What?"  "Doing."  "Going." "hot day." "dark night."  "cold, cold, cold."

favorite foods- broccoli and cauliflower, blueberries, mini wheats, any kind of pasta, animal crackers, grapes, avocado, tomatoes, chicken tenders, toast or english muffins with jelly, too many to list.
