Ready, Steady, Almost There...

This last week Molly tuned 15 months. How is it that this baby grows so fast?!? She had her well baby check-up and she seems to be doing well. In fact developmentally she is close to the 24 month milestones...except in one thing- Walking. Molly has seemed to be so close for so long, but doesn't really try to walk alone at all. Tonight we tried to work on it a bit and I think she did pretty good.
At her check up she was 18 lbs. 8 oz. (2nd percentile) and 29 inches long. (25th percentile) In other words the doctor said she can afford to gain some weight. She really is a good eater so I'm not sure what her problem is. Ah well.

She is sleeping through the night usually from 8 pm to 8 am. She climbs on things. Gives kisses and hugs. Says "up," "Uh Oh," "Momma," "Dadda," "Wow," and "LaLa." (if we are singing) She also signs "more," "all-done," "please," and "light." She has loved going outside and will push her walker thing to the door and start crying for us to come let her out. She likes the stroller and bike trailer. She is super hard to go shopping with...she wants to touch everything, especially candy. She does the actions to "The Wheels on the Bus," "Pat-a-cake," and is close to getting "Head-shoulders-knees-and toes." She loves music and dances to the beat. Her hair is long enough to easily curl.

Mostly she brings us joy each and every day. We love her smile, especially the dimples, and her giggle.

Oh that video is so cute. SHE is so cute! I like it when parents put stats. I don't really know why I just do. Whats funny is that I never do. I like that she sits in your lap to look at the book for two seconds and then she's up again and on to the next person. So funny.
