15 months....

Happy 15 months to my Maeve! Gosh, has it been that long? Wasn't she just a baby yesterday? ;)

I took her to the doctor this morning for her checkup. I had to laugh because she's considerably smaller than Kyra was at this age. She's 23 lbs. 3 oz. and 32 inches long. She's in the 32nd percentile for her weight and the 77th percentile for her height. Kyra was well over 25 lbs. at a year old, so you can see the difference between the two. Of course Kyra weighed 9 lbs. when she was born (Maeve was 7 lbs. 14 oz.), so she's always been on the bigger side. Now you'd never know. She's a string bean. Her growth has slowed way down too. I think she's in the 75th percentile for both height and weight.

Maeve is doing well. We saw a different doctor today and she was very impressed with Maeve's vocabulary. Granted it's just "mama", "dada", "hi", "bye", and "night, night", but she was happy with that. Maeve is on the verge of saying, "doggy" or "puppy". She also does a lot of pointing and head nodding or shaking. She definitely lets you know what she wants. The one thing that really stands out about this kid is that she's a climber. She wants to climb on everything. Kyra never really explored that phase. So all of this is very new and very interesting. I still think a lot of things that Maeve does stems from the fact that she has a big sister who she sees doing it all the time. They have been constantly in battle over the littlest things. Today they were both wanting the same cardboard box. Ugh. Has this started already?
