Kate 15-months

Kate had her 15-month check-up on Monday. She was extremely shy during the weighing and measuring phase and almost lost it. I hope this shyness passes soon. Sometimes around new people I can't even walk because she is hanging onto my leg for dear life. However, she had no problems with the doctor as he examined her. The main problem are those nasty nurses with the shots. Fortunately she only had one shot this time but definitely let us know she did not enjoy it!

Stats:
Weight - 22.7 lbs, 50th percentile
Height - 32", 90th percentile (wow!)

Hopefully she will be a supermodel. Possibly she could be a mute supermodel. Sorry, that seems a little mean but really, when is she going to use more words? She says a combo of hi and bye while waving and that is pretty much it. Sure she says "dada" and "mama" but I don't think she truly knows what they mean. At this point, everyone dear to her is dada. I am just waiting for that Helen Keller moment when she realizes it all and begins speaking. :)

This past weekend I was able to visit my friend Melanie who lives up in Oregon along with my good friend Stacy. While I had a great time, I missed Kate horribly and felt so guilty for being away from her. I am so lucky to have such an amazing husband that didn't even bat an eye over me leaving. He had absolutely no issues with watching Kate all by himself for the entire weekend. Literally, I do not even watch her 24/7. I either have the babysitter for part of the day on some days and Brett in the evening to help out. Seriously, how did I become so fortunate to have this great guy and clearly amazing father? Love you, babe.
