15 months old and getting taller by the day!

This week we had Susannah's 15 month check-up.   She did so well during the visit.....she was really brave and didn't cry at all.......until the nurse gave her the first of her three shots that is......then she cried just like any of us would.   Unfortunately though, this round of shots offered up more than just the original stick of pain.   We were up most of that night with high fever and general yuckiness.   Eventually I brought her into the bed with me (which we never do) and even then, she would only sleep if she was directly on my chest.   It was so sad and I was so tired, but a tiny little part of me knew that I should treasure this season of her needing me so much.....time is flying already and I know we will be arguing over the length of her skirts before I know it.

The most fun part of the doctor's visit, of course, is when we get to hear the stats.   And this time was no different.   The mystery of why she is such a big eater was solved......she is growing like a weed!   She is now 2 ft 8 inches tall, which means she grew almost 2 inches in 3 months!   She weighs 23 lbs and 11 oz, which means she gained 3 lbs in 3 months!   She is now in the 64% for weight and the 91% for height......looks like she is going to be tall like her Mommy.   Here are some pictures of the "big girl" from this week.

Talk about a big girl outfit.....look at these jeans and this button-down!

Our balance is improving daily.....running down the hill in the front yard is no longer a problem.

Nor is running up the hill........

I still love to take walks down the sidewalk.

But this is probably my favorite place.....Spreckles Park!   She starts pointing and yelping as soon as she spots this playground from her stroller.

Can you tell from the outfit changes how crazy our weather is?   It is always sunny, but the temperature changes by the hour.

Watching Meadow act silly in the backyard.

I want to go for a ride now Mommy!

We love to play outside.

On our walk yesterday, a nice lady gave Susannah this flower from her garden.....it matched her shirt and she carried it for at least an hour.

Can't wait to help Dada with the grilling this summer.

"Look at my flower Mommy!"

She still LOVES to wear her hats.....the more crooked on her head the better!

That's it for this week.   Hope everyone is well and enjoying nice spring weather!
