Happy 15 Months of Lilli!

Your Birthday - January 24, 2009

7 lbs, 6.5 ounces 19 inches

One Month - February (first smiles!)

9 lbs, 1 ounce (45th %) 21.5 inches (55%), head: 70%

Two Months - March

10 lbs, 12 ounces (50%) 22 5/8 inches (55%), head: 65%

Three Months - April

(No official weight/measure)

Four Months - May

13 lbs 1 ounce (35%), 23 7/8 inches long (30%), head: 85%

Five Months - June!! And starting to sit on your own with a little help from Boppy!

Unofficial - Measurement of 25 inches and weight measurements - 14.2 pounds

6 Months - July Official Stats (which is actually 6months, 1 wk) - 25 3/4 inches long (50th percentile!), Weight: 15 lbs, 8 ounces (40th percentile), Head: 75th percentile


7 Months - Unofficial Statistics: 16.2 lbs, 25 3/4 inches long (probably not right, because measuring her is "like trying to catch a butterfly") 8 Months - Unofficial stats: Weight - 16.5 lbs, Length 26.25-26.5 inches, you are a rapidly moving target.

9 Months - Official stats (9 months + 3 days) : Weight- 17 lbs 4 ounces (25th percentile), Height - 28.25 inches (75th percentile), Head: 65th percentile

10 Months - Unofficial Stats: Weight: 18 pounds, Height 27 inches. Obviously the nurse did measure you wrong at your 9 month appt as I don't think you've shrunk 1.25 inches over the last month, and this seems much more accurate.
11 Months (+ 6 days) - Unofficial Stats: 18.2 lbs Weight, somewhere between 27.5-28 inches tall. Very happy with the weight since she got down to 16 lbs 15 ounces when she was so sick this month!
12 Months - Official Stats: 18.4 pounds (10th percentile), 29 1/8 inches (50th percentile), Head: 18 1/4 inches (80th percentile) 13 Months (+6 days) - Unofficial Stats: 19 pounds, 28 1/2 inches tall (I think they ALWAYS measure her wrong - we measure as she stands and they measure through toe length).
14 Months - 19.2 lbs (official since we spent your 14 month birthday at the doc with your double ear infection), 29 inches (unofficial)

15 Months - Official - 19 lbs 13 ounces (10th percentile), Height - 31.5 inches (75%), Head 18 3/8 (75%)

Happy 15 Month Birthday! Time is really flying by. Today you had your 15 month well-baby visit and Dr Rauth declared you a perfect, smart little girl. No surprise there! You wow-ed her with all the words you know and things you can show her, although you were certainly apprehensive of being there as you've suddenly become a little more suspicious of unfamiliar surroundings and people. We even gave you a sippy cup of milk before you were weighed in but we still haven't hit that 20 pound mark! Oh well, I bet you'll be there for your 18 month visit. You got three more shots today and you were NOT happy. But the good news is you get some shots at 18 months and then you're home free (except for the flu shot - but that's ok, we get that one too!) until you are FIVE! Woo hooo! You are one active little girl and rarely walk anymore - why walk when you can RUN everywhere!! If you see something exciting - like a dog, especially Pippin - you squeal in absolute glee. You can throw a mean temper tantrum when you don't get your way. You want to know what EVERYTHING is, and LOVE books. Last night we read 36 books - I counted (and some of them more than once.). You love to go and if you're feeling a little bored at home you'll bring us your sweater and point to the door, or at the stroller. You're the world's slowest eater and are often downgraded to the high chair at school because the other kids will finish your food for you. You're a great napper and take about a 2 hour nap right after lunch each day, and then bedtime around 8. Left alone, you won't wake up until around 8 the following morning, we LOVE that! You're still in a Size 3 diaper, Size 4 shoe and are just now outgrowing most of your 6-9 month clothes. Your vocabulary consists of Momma, Dadda, Dog, Truck, Tree, Car, Moo, Uh-Oh, Wow (my fave), and Yeah. Other words come and go, but those are your staples. You will answer to Bug (your school nickname), and know that our names are Brent and Rachel. You are our little sweetie pie!!!
