Loves The Wheels on the Bus... favorite motions: the babies on the bus say waa, waa, waa; the mommies on the bus say shhh, shhhh, shhhh; the babies on the bus play peek a boo, peek a boo, peek a boo; the wipers on the bus go swish, swish, swish

I'm sure I'm forgetting something... It's so incredible to see the difference in just 3 short months. Watching her take in the world around her and seeing her learn is one of the most amazing things of being a mom!

15 month appointment

Miss P had her 15 month appointment this morning. Dr. S said she is perfect (we already knew that) and has advanced motor skills (knew that too!). Payton got 4 shots today - chicken pox, MMR, Hep A, & PCV.... these are actually the 12 month shots, but we delayed them since she was getting over a cold. She was not happy during the exam or the shots... a little stranger anxiety and obviously the shots aren't pleasant.

She weighs 22 lbs 10 ozs (43rd percentile), is 31" long (62nd percentile), and has a big noggin like her daddy... head circumference is 18 3/4" (89th percentile).

15 months

I'm blogging this since it's easier to jot it down than do a page in her baby book!
