Carrie-15 months
weight: 19lbs 11oz (yeah, she is skinny!). 27 percentile
Height: 30.5" 50 percentile
Tiny and adorable, that is Carrie. Her 15 month appointment was today, here is where she is at.
Sleeping
Fabulous! Goes to bed at 7:30 and wakes up around 7am or so. So anywhere between 11-12 hours of straight sleep. She naps once a day from about 12:30-3:30. She does not cry or fight bedtime one bit, yet.
Eating
Also fabulous. I think we are still in honeymoon phase, but she eats like a champ, but apparently has a high metabolism because she sure is not high on the weight chart. I still nurse her 2 times a day, when she wakes and before going to bed. Her favorite food is definitely cheese and red grapes and almost all fruits. She adores cake also! Ha! She has started to throw the food off the tray. This is of course egged on by the brother who says, no no Carrie, and she continues to get his attention! We just take the food away and say all done. She normallly does this toward the end of the meal when no longer hungry. When she is hungry, food does not go to waste. Also, we do not allow snacks here, so her eating may be fabulous because she eats at 8am, 11:30, 5 and no snacks between those...well, at night time 7 she gets a little something that Charlie has.
Physical Development
Walking, picking up stuff, squating down, getting into crap all over the place. Climbing like crazy. Very good with stairs, both up and down. Knows to stop at the top, turn backwards and slide down stairs.
Cognitive development
Saying hi, kitty, doggy, daddy, more...quite well. Uses signs as well to tell us what she wants. When I tell her to do something ex.."go brush your teeth" she walks down to the bathroom, finds the drawer with the toothbrush, etc. same with her shoes. She wants to do everything Charlie does, but cannot. She tries counting with the same tonal expression we use.
Emotional Development
Separation anxiety has been a big thing for her lately. She tends to cry quite hard when mom or dad leave her....but, this too shall pass, assuming i have a strong enough babysitter to see her through the crying and distract her enough.
