Lizzy 15 Months Overview

My dear Elizabeth,
You are getting so big. And becoming so independent, which is so hard on you and Sydney. You love food. And since you know how to walk, you just walk up and down the hallway and living room. You absolutely love just sitting in daddy's lap when he gets home from work and especially on weekends. Which makes it easy for me because my belly is so big it's hard to hold you. 

Your 15 month stats: Feb 1, 2016

Height: 30.1" (26%)

Weight: 21.11 lbs (30%)

Head Circumference: 17.6 in (17%)

You say mama and Dada, and sometimes you sit there and say either of those for a couple minutes straight. 

I never got to take you out to play in the snow because it was hard for me while pregnant to want to go out in the cold. 

You loves climbing up the stairs in my parents house, and every time we go up I try to emphasize going down to, but you don't want to go down, always right back up.

You cry/scream and point with your whole hand when you want something.

You took your first steps on Dec 11, 2016. But you didn't start walking til January.  It's so much fun to see the joy on your face when you take a few steps.

You had your first trip to Disneyland and the Beach in November.

We went on another trip to Arizona in January.  In which you were totally terrified of Papa, and almost all guys, except daddy. It even took you awhile to warm up to Grandpa. It didn't take you long to warm up to Nana and Grandma though. I found out you really don't sleep well outside of your own bed and room.

You love bath time. You love taking the stopper out of the tub. You love drinking the bath water (we are working on that one).

You learned how to climb upon things, mostly the little kid chairs. You try to climb the couch but you are still to short.

You actually were really sick in the month of January. You had fevers, a lot of screaming, white pustals in your mouth. We couldn't figure out what was wrong. So finally after a lot of screaming on Sunday, Jan 17th we took you to ER. They thought maybe you had strep and sent us home with some anti-acid mixed with Benadryl to help you sleep and sooth your sore throat, and a prescription for some antibiotics.  On Wed I took you to the pediatrician and she had no idea what was going on either, but she knew it was viral. So we had plans to go to AZ and you weren't feverish anymore (you were pumped full of ibuprofen and Tylenol) but I had scheduled a dental appointment before we left. Well the dentist heard the symptoms and before he even looked said that you had herpes, and that it would last for 7-10 days (which it did) and the pustals went away. He said after two years of age they would be cold sores. So at your two month appointment I told the pediatrician this and she said that unless it happened again we would just say it was hand, foot, and mouth disease that you had had. 

you loved the ocean.
