So, what is my baby girl doing? She isn't standing alone or walking but we work on it every day. She has stood unassisted & she, on Halloween, stood alone by herself. Well, she let go of her support & balanced. I was so proud! She thinks it's fun to walk holding hands & she loves the praise she gets. I do think her small feet have something to do with the delayed standing/walking. She's only in a size 2 baby which I think is 6 months or 6-9 months. She babbles ALL THE TIME! She'll have conversations on her phone which apparently are hilarious. Her imagination is strong. Or I like to think so. She's a climber, oh heaven she's a climber. If she can climb on anything she will try. I've caught her on top of an ice chest that was next to the counter where her snacks were. I've caught her on the computer chair playing with the computer. She's fast too, she'll get up on something in seconds. She loves her toddler slide. She'll get up the plastic rock wall & slide down the slide on her belly. She's fallen but she's a very rough & tumble baby. I'm not over protective & freak out when she falls or bumps her head. Some would call it being a bad parent but honestly my kid isn't going to be a wimp who cries over every little bump. I want her to know it's ok to fall, I don't want her to be scared of getting hurt. Aware of it yes but not so afraid she won't try new things. She's a good eater & will eat everything we do normally. You're suppose to cut everything in little pieces for toddler but if you do for her she won't eat it. Big pieces or taking bites like mommy is how she likes it. She loves food & baths!! Oh so loves baths. She loves reading also. To herself or being read too. She is a very happy go lucky baby. I tried for months to work on sign language & she wouldn't do it. Funny enough, she's started using some now. I guess she's stubborn, no she is stubborn, & she'll only do things on her terms when she's ready. Like walking!!! I don't know how many words she knows because she babbles so much. I think she takes in the words I say but doesn't say them. I'm constantly telling her what things are. It'll be like sign language, she'll one day just start saying the words I've been trying to teach her.
Wearing: 12m clothes, size 2 shoes(with room), & size 3 diapers. She could get away with size 2 diapers still, the waist is the same for 2 & 3 swaddlers, but I like the little extra crotch room.
How big is my 15 month old? My petite little lady?
16 lbs 10 oz & 28.75 inches
She was almost 29 inches but he wouldn't give it to her. He rounded up for her head but not length. Oh well. I was so happy & relieved she gained a big (to me) amount. 1 lb 11oz is HUGE for her in 2.5 months. The doctor wants her to gain more but ey, I'm happy with her size. I know she's a great eater so I'm not worried. She's healthy, happy, & energetic.
