It has been over three months since my last post about Leah Kate, so I thought it was time for an update! She had a great 15 month check up, and she now weighs 23 pounds and 12 ounces. She is 32.5 inches tall which places her in the 92nd percentile for height- the girl is TALL! Everybody always thinks she is older than she really is because of her height and how talkative she is. She has tons of words! I am so thankful that she is able to express herself well. She is even beginning to combine two words every now and then (more snack, mama hair, dada work). She is finally making the "b" sound, so it is much easier to understand some of her earlier words. She says Bible, bye bye, baby, and ball using her new sound, but she still calls bubbles "duddles" :) It is hilarious.
Leah continues to love Elmo, so we watch it in the mornings on the iPad- it is the only way I can get her to sit still long enough to snuggle with me!! She now says "iPad" as well. Her fine motor skills are also improving. She will stand at her high chair and do the buckle and play with her buckle whale toy! I highly recommend it-keeps her entertained for longer than five minutes! With the cold weather, I have had to get creative to keep her entertained. I am so thankful for her music class and activities at church. She has adjusted really well to a new nursery. Leah runs to the door and doesn't look back! It makes me so happy to see her love other children and interact well with them. She has been sharing a lot better than I thought she would, so hopefully that will continue!!!
I just can't get over how grown up Leah looks. Her hair is growing, and her curls are crazy! She always has one big curl right on the front of her head :) She has the cutest grin these days- usually showing most of her 12 teeth! I guess that is enough for now! Here are a few of my favorite pictures from the past few months!
