15 Month Check-Up

Clara has completed her 15 month check-up and is (as expected) doing great. She weighs in at 25.3 lbs (80%). She is 33.5 inches long (above 97% - the highest the chart measures). And her head circumference is 19 inches (95%).

The doctor seemed pleased with her social and emotional development as well as physical. But she did have to get two more vaccinations. Ouch!

Next check-up is scheduled for 18 months. At that one she will get the last of her vaccines until kindergarten. What a relief!

Pecunia Playground

Problem: What to do with a monkey-climbing girl when it is too hot or too wet to go to the park?
Answer: Create a park in your living room!

It started small, the Little Tikes cube seen on the right side of the photo. That was such a hit that we picked up the larger little Tikes climber on the right side of the photo. Now our living room is officially Park Pecunia.

But I guess our adult living space is a small price to pay for a happy baby!

She loves to climb up high where she can see Mom and Dad eye to eye.


And her favorite part... the slide!

Baa-Moo

Clara doesn't say much, but she is learning some animal sounds. She had been mooing for a while, but the baaaa for the sheep is new.
