Well I cannot believe that our baby girl is now 15 months old!! It is amazing how fast time flies. We had our 15 month check up yesterday and she is a healthy little girl. Nora weighed in at 25 lbs. 10 oz. and is 31 1/2 inches tall. She is in the 87th % for height and weight. So at least she is proportioned right!
Nora is doing so much right now. She is walking all over the place and is starting to try to run. She has figured out how to walk backwards and will do this for a few steps at a time. She is learning how to climb up onto things and knows that she can use her "og" dog as a step ladder to help her get onto the couch. She is starting to talk, slowly, but surely. Some of the words she says is
"ello" hello
"up"
"hi"
"uh oh"
"ala" Nala
"a one" all done
"ore" more
"og" dog
Of course being the worrier that I am is worried that she isn't saying enough right now, but she is definately taking everything in. She still loves books and would prefer books to other toys. She is loving baby dolls too. She has three of them now and loves to take care of them and feed them and wrap them up in blankets. She is a little mother to those babies!
Next week I officially start back to work. How lucky I am to have been able to be home this summer with my baby and watch her grow. I cannot believe how fast it has gone and I wish I had more time. Nora is lucky enough to have a wonderful sitter who cannot wait to have her back full time. She will have new friends joining her at Rebecca's house two days a week so Nora will not be the only one at her house. Poor girl is going to have to get used to getting up early again. Again, we have a great little girl and she is used to sleeping 13 hours a night and taking a 2-3 hour nap during the day. Gosh for her to get 13 hours we would have to put her to bed at 6! Needless to say that is not going to happen so we all will have some adjusting to get used to. We are all still trying to figure out how it is all going to work in the mornings with me running, getting her up and Peter off to work. Busy times! Happy end of summer everyone!!
