15 Months Old!

Kendall is 15 months old today! We went to the doctor this morning for her checkup. She is still a big girl! She weighs 28 lbs 10 oz (90-95%) and is 32 and 3/4 inches long...which is above the 95%!! We were expecting her weight to be high, but she is actually very tall, too! Randy calls her "moose" sometimes. :)

We've been meaning to make a list of what she is doing lately just so that we will have it all written down. I think it changes almost every day lately! She is just learning so many new things and seems to be able to do something new every day.


Words:
Daddy
Mammy (that's me. I'm Mammy. That started last week. We think it's pretty funny. It will not be what she always calls me, though. :)
Juice
Molly
Graham Cracker
Paci
All 6 grandparents (Gigi, Peeps, Granny, Papas, Pops, Kiki)
Holly
Outside
Cheese
Puppy
No (except sometimes it comes out "mo." This should really be higher up on the list. She says it the most.)
Hot
Hat
Hi
Bye
Cup
Baby
Kathy (This is really "Kaki.")

Motor Skills
Walking
Running (fast!)
Climbing - she can climb on and off the couches and chair by herself and she can get off our bed by herself. She loves to climb stairs.
Hopping (?) When we say "hop!" she bends her knees and then stands up straight really fast. Her feet don't actually leave the floor. :)
Kicking
She can feed herself with a spoon and makes it to her mouth!

Signs
More
Please - She does this a lot! She has been a lot better lately about doing the sign for please when she wants something instead of whining or grunting. It is much more pleasant!
Thank you
All done (finished)
Puppy
And her special "Kendall" sign for love or hug - putting her hands up next to her chest, tilting her head and squeezing her shoulders. This will melt your heart!

Other things she does
Throws things away in the trash when we ask her to
Blows kisses
Gives real kisses and hugs. They are the best!
Loves on Molly very gently (most of the time!)
Sleeps 12-13 hours at night and takes one 2.5-3 hour nap during the day
Dances anytime she hears music or even if we say the word "music." :) She is a dancing girl!
She can get on and off her horse and ride it by herself
Sits and reads books by herself
Holds our hand and walks with us into places. She's just so big!

Oh, Kendall! I can see you doing all of those things! And it makes me smile and laugh (and sometimes cry)! Your Granny loves you (and your Mammy) and always will!!

Ashley, I am so glad you have a blog! I love my blog more than facebook, haha.
Kendall is adorable! I love that red hair and was loving looking back at her baby pictures when she had all those precious baby rolls.. what a little chunk! She is sooo cute! I love a chubby little princess ;)
I just added you to my list of blogs I read so I can keep up with you!!
