15 Months Old!

Today I turned 15 months old! I feel like these past 3 months have flown by and so much has changed! I went back to look at my 12 month photos and realized I never posted an offical 12 month blog! There was plenty of coverage of my big birthday, so I'm guessing no one minded, but just for comparison purposes, I've included some 12 month pictures and stats in this blog too:

Kate at 12 Months:

• Weight:  20 lbs 11.5oz  (25 - 50th percentile)
• Height: 28 inches (10 - 25th percentile)
• Teeth - 4 (2 on top, 2 on bottom)
• Walking? Took my first real steps on my birthday! 
• Eating -  I'm still a vegetarian, but I love all my fruits and veggies and quinoa! 
• Bottles? Nope. I stopped cold turkey the day I turned 1. No more bottles and no more formula, I'm a regular milk girl now. 
• I still have my pacifier, but I only get it when I'm in my crib - and when I'm on an airplane!
• Words - Mama, Dada, Duck/Dog/Down (they all sound about the same)

Kate at 15 Months:

• Weight: 21 lbs 10 oz (25 - 50th percentile)
• Height: 29.25 inches (10 - 25th percentile)
• Head Circumference: 18.5 inches (75 - 90th percentile! What can I say? There's a lot of brains in there!)
• Teeth - 8! 4 on top and 4 on the bottom - and I think those molars are coming in soon!
• Walking - Running is really more my style. I love taking walks in the neighborhood with mom and dad!
• Eating - I'm now a meat eater! Although most of my meals are more fish focused, I LOVE salmon! And I have a new affinity for dipping my chicken and fish into things... mostly BBQ sauce!
• Milk - only about 12oz a day, mostly I like water!
• Words - Mama, Dada, Nana (Banana), Papa, and wawa (water) - these are all very clear. But then there's a lot of things I say in my own way like sock, keys, juice and purple - only mom and dad and betsy would really understand these!
• Other Activities - DANCING! (I can even drop it like it's hot!), playing peek-a-boo is still a favorite, I know about 30 animal sounds and actions, I love cleaning up and I even help mom wipe up the floor sometimes (wipey-wipey), I also have a slight problem with open cabinets and drawers - they have to be closed! I go around other peoples houses even closing things that are open!

And finally, my biggest news is that I will start going to day care this month! It's really sad, but Betsy is moving to California! I can't believe it, I really don't know what I'm going to do without her. We have so much fun... but mom said going to school will be just like going to a bubbles or gymboree class and the best part will be that it won't be just an hour long! I'm not sure I totally buy it yet, but we'll see. I'm a petty sociable girl and I met my teachers already and they all seemed nice, so it could be good. I'm only going 2 days a week this month and then I start full time in April. Wish me luck!! And I wish Betsy luck in Cali! I promise to come visit you and I'll never ever forget you! Skype me!
