15 Months

Abigail's 15 months old today. I took her to the doctor for her 15 month well baby appointment. She weighed 18 lbs 3 oz (only up 3 oz from her 12 month appointment) and was 30 inches in length. Developmentally she's doing everything she should be doing, however the doctor is concerned a little with her weight. Her weight is making a downward curve on the growth chart so they're going to keep a close eye on it. I'll be taking her back to the doctor in a month so they can recheck the amount of fluid in her left ear and check her weight.

ATTITUDE. Pretty much sums up our little girl! She's fearless, as you've seen in Part I, Part II & Part III. She screams when she doesn't get what she wants and especially when her brother does something to her that she doesn't like. She hates having her shoes on. Whenever she gets the chance she takes them off. I constantly have to put them back on when we arrive at our destination after traveling in the car. And shoes or not, she's now running everywhere.

Even though it appears she hasn't gained weight, you would never know by the way our girl eats. She continues to eat almost everything we put in front of her. And laugh, she laughs at everything. It's so contagious when she laughs! On top of the laughs, her facial expressions are priceless. I can't help but smile each time I look at her.

Her next well baby appointment is at 18 months. She'll be getting two, maybe three, shots at this appointment. She lucked out this time around, no shots at 15 months!
