the lily chronicles

15 months old

lily had her 15-month well check and is doing wonderfully.  she is doing everything she should be for her age and even some things that are a little ahead of the curve (go lily!).

head circumference: 18" (50th percentile)

height: 33.5" (98th percentile)

weight: 24 lbs (75th percentile)

• lily has developed a fascination with jewelry (she has several strands of beads she adorns herself with, in addition to trying to put my jewelry on)
• she loves purses and grabs mine to drag around the house (which means she's getting her own purse for christmas)
• facetime is kind of her favorite thing.  she loves talking to people she can see
• maroon 5 is her favorite band and she dances every time one of their songs comes on
• lily loves shoes and is constantly bringing us our shoes or her shoes; she just wants to get her hands on some shoes! 
• makeup is a fascinating toy to her.  she grabs it, walks around with it, and tries to put it on.  she's becoming a fairly girly (yay!)
• lily is kind of a terror; she tackles and tries to wrestle other kids, but they don't usually understand.  she likes to roughhouse (and we oblige her), but not everyone appreciates her special brand of play

lily is developing her language and chatters constantly.  sometimes even using words recognizable to the rest of humanity.  she knows how to get her point across and has some definite opinions.  she has pretty much left the baby behind and is on her way to becoming an actual little kid.  it's kind of crazy to see how much she has changed in just one short year.  

i love going out and about with her, when it's our little family on an adventure.  it is so fun to watch her interact with the world around her and enjoy the activities we take her on.  i think i'm going to like this stage (sometimes).
