15 Months (and Cousin's Day)

Today we went for AR's 15 month check-up.  No, not 15 days, not 15 weeks, but 15 months!  Oh how time flies!

Stats were as to be expected from this chick - head and height were both 101% and weight was around 94% (27lbs!).  She continues to be on the high end for everything but around other toddlers her age, she really doesn't look that much bigger.  At least she's proportionate!

What she's up to these days:
-walks like a pro now and she's picking the speed up more and more... running, here we come!
-was giving kisses on command but now they are random and only when it's her idea
-drinks her two sippy cups of milk - one first thing in the morning and one in the evening before bed... otherwise it's water for the rest of the day
-eats very well unless she's teething
-has at least 13 teeth, but I think it's really 14... she just doesn't like you looking in her mouth anymore so it's hard for me to tell
-her favorite "tricks" are:  "the face", crossing her arms, making funny noises with her tongue, pointing at the fan and moving her finger in a circling motion, making a "snoring" sound, and patting people on the back
-words are still very few but she will repeat (sometimes) mama, dada, baby, and ba(ball)... but she talks all the time in her own little language
-still sleeping around 11 hours at night and taking two naps during the day
-loves shoes, pocketbooks, her baby doll, crackers, her baseball cap, and lately her little shape sorter - the blue and red classic ball one... the one that she can only do the circle and oval in and brings it to me every 2 minutes to open it up and do it again... and again... and again... but it's cute!
-understands most everything I say to her and it always amazes me when I say something that I don't think she'll understand and then she does it

Here are a couple pics from today, though she turned 15M last Friday.

She NEVER plays with this walker anymore except when I try to take a picture of her at 15 months!  ha

She wasn't very happy w/ me for some reason that I can't recall.

 
This past weekend was the annual Cousin's Day on my dad's side of the family.  This year it was held at my parents house and although the crowd was smaller this year, we still had a good time.  AR was the star of the show since no other kids were able to show up.  Following are some pictures from the whole time we were there:

"Here I am!"

 

She knows how to chill!

 

The "O" Face

 

Demonstrating how to ride the horsey... it was a workout!

 

Wrong side!

This is THE FACE

Not wanting to kiss Aunt Katie

 

That's just plain pitiful!
