15 months!

Lilybean is fifteen months old now! She had her well baby visit yesterday and Dr. Purcell said she is looking perfect and staying exactly on her growth curve - so no more worries about her weight. Her stats are:

Weight - 19 lbs 6 oz, 6th percentile

Height - 30 3/4 inches, 62 percentile

So she's just long and lean and that is likely how she will stay. She's hitting all her milestones and is learning new stuff everyday. This morning I told Luke to go get his shoes out of the shoe basket and put them on and when I turned around Lily was bringing me her sparkly shoes and holding her foot out. The girl still loves shoes.

Some of the things I want to remember about her at this age are:

• When you tell her to smile, she scrunches her nose up and says "Cheeeeez."
• She loves to mimic Luke and totally thinks she is every bit as big as he is.
• She loves to feed herself with a spoon and hates for her hands to be dirty. And when she's finished eating, she wants every single crumb of food picked up off her tray.
• She always puts herself to sleep in her bed unless she doesn't feel good, in which case she wants Mommy to snuggle her to sleep. I love, love, love it and will be so sad when she doesn't fall asleep on me anymore.
• Mama is her go to word right now. She says it all the time (even out of context), but especially in the car when she wants to check and make sure that I'm still there.
