Short and Chubby (15 Months)

Annika had her 15 month check-up today. We found out she is short and chubby! :)

Her stats:
24 pounds (70%) now this was in jeans, onsie, long sleeve shirt, and cloth diaper (so I'm guessing she weighs a little less than the 24 pounds the scale said).

She was 30 inches tall (30%) she's not very tall (that's what the Doc said) which was a surprise b/c David is 6 foot 3 inches...yay for my short genes!

She is healthy as ever. She had 1 shot and only cried for about 10 seconds (that's my girl)!!! I did however realize today how big she is getting. At the doctor's office they had her stand on the scale since she is standing now and had her stand with her back to the wall to measure her height. I may be a little bias but as she stood there getting measure for her height I just thought she looked so ADORABLE!!!

She is really starting to do a lot of things and copy us...it's soo much fun watching her learn and grow. She point to her nose, mouth, tongue, toes, fingers, ears, hair, head, belly, and just learned in the last couple of days her elbow (she does this in a very cute way she will pat up her arm until she reaches her elbow and then looks up at you smiling).

She has also learned to climb in the rocking chair and loves to read books.

She says puppy, daddy (her two new obsessions), mama, kitty, papa (grandpa), graaaandma (she doesn't say this anymore), uh-oh, baby.

We have been working on the alphabet (for the last couple of weeks) she can now point out the letter "A" (as long as it's a capital letter).

She now has 12 teeth with about 4 more coming in. She loves to try and feed herself with a fork.

Another new obsession for her is baths....she loves baths! She is learning to take her clothes off so she can get herself into the bathtub faster than mom can do it. She is might quick at taking off the diaper!

I also wanted to say another of her favorite past times is eating!! Which is why she is in the 70% for weight...she will eat all the time. She will eat just about anything...she loves veggies and fruit, but also loves meat. She must of got her tastes from her dad b/c she doesn't seem to be very picky (like her mom). Among the "odd" (okay odd to me) things she will eat is green peppers (raw, she doesn't eat tons at a time, but will eat a couple slices) and rhubarb (raw okay now that's weird...YUCK!!). She is also all into "dipping" everything on her plate has to be dipped (except pb&j) but it doesn't matter if it is dipped in ketchup, ranch dressing, or barbecue sauce.

That's all I can think of for now....here's a few recent pics.
