Fifteen Months Today

Munchkin is officially 15 months old today. The cliche that "they grow so fast" really is true! She had her 15th month check-up yesterday and did swell despite the five shots that she received. This baby is a toughie! Gi has gained weight and a little bit of height. That little dynamo is a whopping 18.11 lbs and 30 inches long. I know, I know---she's still tiny but any progress is good progress. Lots of finger pointing, utters of single syllables, interest in body parts and a desire to eat more independently. She definitely makes her wants and needs known and is ever so curious. Hubs and I are, once again, attempting to transition Munchkin from our room to her room with the help and encouragement of Dr. L (Gi's ped). So needless to say, Mommy and Daddy are very sleep deprived but very determined to make this transition a success for Gi. Oh btw, thank you to all the mommies that have given us very good advice and encouragement on this very difficult sleep transition. Gi is also more sociable now. She seems to want to interact with other toddlers and is very observant on what others are doing. And boy, she has been bitten by the imitation bug. We continue to attend lots of classes and other social activities to get her growing juices going. She knows who her mommy and daddy are and is now truly beginning to hug and kiss us. One word that she does enunciate daily is "JaJa" which we assume is her attempt to say her nick name. But no concrete "mommy" and "daddy" yet. Well, that's about it for now. Mommy has to nap now!
