15 Months

Two Sundays ago, Cadence turned 15 months old. She is growing up so incredibly fast. She is walking all over the place (since Sept. 18) and is into everything. One of her new and favorite activities is to throw her sippy cup on the floor, look at you, and smile. She knows her cup goes on the table, but she's entering the stage where she's testing us, and she's very much enjoying herself.

Cadence is also adding new words to her vocabulary daily. She can say: diaper, dog, brother, ma ma, da da, light, bye bye, hi, swing, shoes, drink, milk, eat, more (knows signs for the last three). She can point out eyes, ears, hair, toes, hands, tummy, mouth, and nose on her body. She loves to have you pull her socks and shoes off and play "This little piggy..."

Last Tuesday morning, I took her for her 15 month checkup. Her current stats:

21 lbs. - 21%

31.25" long - 74%

She continues to be long and lean, which is a welcome change from lifting/carrying Preston, the potato sack, when he was this age. She received a couple of vaccinations, MMR & Chickenpox, which she handled very well. She cried for about a minute, looked at me with pitiful eyes, and lay her head on my shoulder. She was so glad I was there to "rescue" her.

I love this age/stage of discovery and watching her little brain process the world around her. Everday is a new adventure...
