All About Avery: 15 Months Old

Long time, no update! Avery is now 15 months and had a check-up today. All is well. Here are her new measurements: weight is 23 lbs (65%), 32 inches tall (90%) and 18.5 inch head (80%). So once again, she is tall and in good shape!

Avery's gone from walking to trying to run. She certainly doesn't sit still much so I get my exercise as well. Her language development is amazing. She is saying so much now and seems to learn a new word every few days. In her continued efforts to win the "Most Polite Toddler" award she's saying "please" almost as often as "thank you." But we get a lot of "No!" now too! Other new words are blanket, cheese, out and again.

We're working on learning body parts and animals. She knows how to find nose, ear, belly and sometimes mouth. Avery loves animals! She can imitate the sounds made by a sheep, kitty, puppy, cow, and duck. She seems to think horses also say "moo" and pigs say "pig pig" so we'll keep at it. She's really into a Farm Animals book at the moment.

Avery's still eating well but her preferences are starting to show. She's not fond of broccoli, cauliflower, hamburgers or carrots which often end up on the floor. She loves most fruit especially bananas, grapes and of course, blueberries. She can really put on a show when she eats but given her weight, she apparently burns it off somehow.

Avery constantly keeps us busy but we're having a blast with her. She usually sleeps through the night now which makes me ecstatic. Please enjoy a few more photos.
