Some days we just look at her and think, WOW! She has been growing so fast! It seems like she got really big all of a sudden. She is no doubt a full-fledged toddler now and her baby days seem like so long ago! Her 15 month check-up was great. She weighs 25 lbs 2 oz and is 31-3/4 inches tall. I'm not sure where that puts her on the growth chart as far as percentiles, but she's a healthy little girl, so I'm not so worried about the numbers.
Look at those front teeth finally starting to come in! That brings her up to 5 total and I know there are more to come! Elise has been gnawing on EVERYTHING, including and especially her little fist. She's always got her hand in her mouth.
This is Elise posing for the camera. When I say, "Elise, say cheese!", she turns to me with an open mouth and squinty eyes and says "ahhh!"
She continues to stay busy, chasing after her siblings, climbing the furniture (we can't keep her off the kitchen table or the coffee table and she climbs freely on Claire's bed and the couch). She has been singing and dancing. She loves to scribble with a pen or crayons (trying to imitate Thomas and Claire). Last night, I found her coloring on the living room end table. Don't know where she found the crayon up there...she is full of mischief, but in an innocent and curious way.
She talks a lot, but doesn't have a lot of words yet: Mama, Dada, Claire, Done, Ba (for bottle), Hello, Bye, Up. She has often repeated words, but doesn't use them regularly, like: Uncle Bud (soooo cute!!), dog, cracker, and (I swear!) Tylenol (she's been getting a lot for her teeth)!
