Embry: 15 Months Old

15 Month Stats

Weight:  24 pounds (done at home) (She was 23 pounds 1 oz at the pediatrician about 10 days ago)

Height: Will update after her well check! We don't go to well check until January 16. 

Diapers: Size 4

Clothes: 18 months, 12-18 months, some 18-24 month things. 18 month PJs. She's very true to size on most clothes, even pants surprisingly. 

Shoes: Still size 4 shoes...never thought she'd be in size 4 shoes for 5 months! I've tried on some of her size 5 and they're way too big! 

Eating: Eats 3 meals a day, 2 snacks a day, drinks around 12-16 oz of organic whole milk per day. Still kind of picky, and definitely knows what she wants and doesn't want! Favorites are blackberries, blueberries, Cheerios with Daddy, fish sticks, macaroni and cheese, greek yogurt, Ritz crackers with cream cheese.

Sleeping: 11 hours straight through the night (7:30 pm-6:30 am) and two naps adding up to 3 hours (typically at 8:30 am and 1:30 pm). Showing NO signs of dropping her morning nap! Yay! Still sleeps in a sleep sack with pacifier attached with a crib full of her white lovey bears. 

Teeth: 6 teeth...Her sixth tooth literally cut through this morning. She's very close to cutting numbers 7 and 8. Poor girl!  

Words: Kind of stuck on this one. I don't think she has any official words. She says "ish" for just about everything. But, says "da" for yes, says "ha" for hot, says "ba" for ball... But I'm still not writing down any official words in the baby book! Does really well with signs- all done, food, more, cookie.... Shakes her head yes and no. She understands most things we say to her.

(Added a few new line items)
Favorite Toys: Current favorites are her shopping cart, purses, strollers, make up vanity, magnadoodle, nativity set, and stacking cups. Outside she loves sitting in her cozy coupe and push car. 

Favorite Books: "Wherever You Are My Love Will Find You" (her bedtime book), "Hand, Hand, Fingers, Thumb", Peek-a-boo Baby Bath Book, Pop Up Little People Christmas Book

New Things!

*Out of her mommy phase. Still wants only mommy sometimes, but not like last month

*Throws a ball

*Loves to use utensils while eating and getting pretty good with them.

*Was on an antibiotic for the third time in her life....ear infection that went along with the never ending cold/cough. Takes antibiotics (and all medicine) if we let her hold the shooter and put it in her mouth alone.... Miss Independent!

*Got her first taste of sweets (besides her smash cake on her birthday she didn't really like) and lovedddd her Kiki's famous sugar cookies! She also had her first Round Rock donut and gobbled it up!

*Went to Chicago and took two trips to Austin this month and really does well traveling and being with lots of new people. 

*Thinks/knows she's funny. 

*Really mocks what we do. She watches Jacob get ready every morning and one day I had her on the counter in the bathroom where she got into the jar of Q-Tips, got one out and put it in her ear! Yikes! 

*Loved opening up presents at Christmas. Just a few months ago at her birthday she didn't really get it. 

*Draws with paper and writing utensil or on her magnadoodle. 

*Favoring her right hand with drawing, eating, throwing, etc.
