Brown Eyed Girl Meets a Blue Eyed Boy: 15 months

This month Lily turned 15 months old. While I've stopped posting monthly updates I figured I'd stay consistent with her doctor visits to be sure and document her growth and new developments.

She has such a fun, happy and silly personality - she is so much like her daddy. There are so many times when I look at her and see him as a child (even though I didn't know him as a toddler). We still think she looks more like him than me although when she has a bow in her hair and she smiles we both think she resembles me more. Her eyes are still as blue as can be and it seems she has just grown a full head of hair and mouth of teeth in the last few month. Her hair has really lightened up and got thicker this summer. I actually think it's time for a haircut as the front tends to hang in her eyes if she doesn't have a bow in.

Developmentally she seems to be doing well - she says quite a few words on a regular basis and gibber gabbers all day long. Words she knows are: mama, dada, dog, nana (for gma), duck, juice, bye bye, hi, fish, turtle, no, yes, milk, more, vroom, tractor, lots of animal sounds - woof woof, baaa, sssss, quack, naw, and meow. She also signs "more" and "all done". She is very curious about things and really looks new people and things over. She likes to take things apart, stack things up and then knock them over, crawling through her play tunnel, playing with her toy bugs, loving on her dolly and barbies, LOVES to read books, sing, dance and spin, do anything outside, ride her new power wheels Jeep, go to the pool - she's a fish!, and just run around.

There are a couple songs that are hilarious to watch her dance to when they come on. It's obvious that she knows them and that she learned some head banging from daddy :) She really does love music and it makes me smile to hear Jimmy playing guitar to her while she bangs around on the drum, tamborine, or harmonica in the basement.

For height and weight she's about the same as where she's been the past few appointments - around 80% for weight at 26 lbs and 70% for height at 2ft 6.5inches.

She's a good little eater and likes most anything we give her. Fruit is still her favorite and meat is hit or miss with her but she usually will eat whatever it is we are having. Her favorites are probably toast, grapes, corn, peas, and steak!

She has almost all her teeth - just waiting on a few more on the bottom and 2 on the top - other than her 2 year moleures.

And that's about it other than the fact that her world will forever change in a matter of weeks with the addition of her baby brother :) We are unsure of how she will do with the transition. I think she will be very curious about him and want to see and touch him often. I'm not sure if she will be jealous or if she will just adjust. I'm praying for a smooth and good transition for us all!

And here's some pictures of her these past few months......
