15 Months Old...

I cannot believe Peyton is 15 months old already. She is such a joy each day & we are amazed with how much she is learning and growing.

Here are her numbers...she is still a giant among her peers:)

Weight: 26.8 pounds (92nd percentile)
Height: 32.5 inches (94th percentile)
Head circumference: 18.8 inches (92nd percentile)

She seems to be doing new things each day. Here are some of her new milestones & favorite things:

1. She loves climbing. She will climb up to the kitchen table and just sit in a big chair, until today when she decided that wasn't enough & made it almost all the way on to the table. As soon as I turned around, she caught my eyes and hurried down!!!

2. She loves to spin around until she almost falls over...I think all little kids enjoy doing this at some point.

3. She loves to talk & give everything names which is really fun. Just about every day she says a word we didn't know she could say. I think she can say about 50 words unprompted now...we understand most of them most of the time:) Some of her favorites these days: bear, frog, giraffe, dog, ruf, roar, hi, uh-oh, remote (she calls it a boat), shoes, and socks. And, she loves pointing out all of your facial features, so don't be surprised if she walks up and pokes you in the eye to tell you "eye" or grabs your face to say "face":)

4. She likes to dance...especially when we hear music in restaurants.

5. She is still eating a ton...pretty much anything we put in front of her which is great. Then, she usually hands us her plate and says, "MORE"

6. She usually wants whichever one of us isn't there. Whoever goes to get her out of bed, she will point out into the hall and ask for the other person.

She is just loads of fun right now. We are enjoying sharing life with her & watching her learn. Thanks for joining us on this journey!

One Cute Cow...

We went to Chick-Fil-A tonight for Cow Appreciation Night. Peyton actually kept her costume on for awhile, before rearranging the spots later. Either way, she is one cute cow...
