Briana had her 15 month well baby visit yesterday. Her appointment went really well, her pediatrician was impressed by her vocabulary (even though she really didn't say very many words while we were there). She continues to maintain the same growth curves that she's been on for months now.
Here are her measurements:
Weight: 20lbs 12 oz (20th percentile)
Height: 30.5 inches (50th percentile)
Head Circumference: 18.5 inches (80th percentile)
She received 2 shots at yesterday's visit, and did very well with them. She only fussed for a minute, and then was excited to leave so that we could go visit daddy at work.
Briana continues to grow and learn everyday! She's now running! Her fine motor skills are improving daily. She eats using a spoon and a fork, likes to draw (scribble), and is quickly mastering her shape-sorter toys. Her vocabulary is huge, she strings words together to form short sentences, and keeps testing out words that are more and more difficult. Briana also enjoys trying new foods, her latest favorite are raisins! She would eat them all day long if we would let her. She's now chosing her own shoes to wear everyday, and likes to pick out which pair of pajamas she'll wear to bed. It's really enjoyable for Mommy and Daddy to see her grasping at independence.
With her new found desire for independence we're also experiencing some negative sides of it. Now when she decides something, it's harder for Mommy and Daddy to persuade her otherwise. Gone are the days of simple redirection, we're now being forced to learn how to compromise with a determined toddler! All in all though, Briana is a very well behaved little girl. She rewards us with kisses and hugs, and those belly laughs that melt your heart! She's brought so much joy to our lives in the past 15 months, it's hard to remember what life was like for us without Briana there.
