Addie at 15 Months

Wild and wonderful...to sum it up! She has turned into a handful all of a sudden, but I don't even care because she is so cute and fun. I told Brian we are in trouble because when she does something she's not supposed to she gives us that grin, and I just laugh. She's THAT cute. Sigh...

According to the doctor, her challenging 15-month-old behavior is very normal. Let's just say her behavior at her check-up was not the best, and I was physically and mentally exhausted by the time we left. Of course they look so peaceful here, but things went downhill fast...Addie does not like to get her height measured! She was 30" tall (37%), 23 lbs (57%) and 18" head (94%). We are still struggling with her excema so the doctor gave us some helpful advice on how to improve that. 

She should be growing like a weed because she eats like a hungry man. You would not believe the food that this baby shoves into her mouth. She screams at us until we get meals on her tray and then she is as happy as can be! Pizza is her favorite so far. :)

 

She is not walking yet, but I am not worried because she is taking her walking toys for a spin, cruising around the furniture, and she is taking 5-6 steps on her own now! She is really close!

Her hair...always the subject anywhere we go and meet new people. They are always so impressed by the amount and the curls! This was shot on the first humid day of Spring after her nap...

Addie can really play now. She is interactive with Collins (except when forced to dress up like a fairy and be in a rainbow fairy dancing show)...

She really enjoyed her first trip to Marbles...

She makes us walk her out to the backyard so she can play in the sand table...

And she loves to be mischevious and hide from us...

and close doors on us, and brush her teeth, and stand on the picnic table, and climb on Collins's bed, and crawl right out the front door...oh Addie you wear us out, but we love you so!
