15 Months Old

Camille turned 15 months old today!! I guess I have to start referring to her as a toddler instead of a baby :(

She had a checkup at the doctor today which went very well. She weighs 21 lbs 2oz (25th percentile). Her height is 29 1/4" (20th percentile) and her head circumference is 18 1/2" (78th percentile). So she has had a little growth spurt to get her up in the percentiles! She did get 3 shots while there- DTaP, Hib, & Pneumococcal so of course there was crying. The nurse gave her a puppy dog sticker to help her to feel better- Camille threw it back at her. Luckily, I was prepared with some goldfish to snack on. She quickly forgot about the tears.

Camille can be so quiet with people she doesn't see often. I wouldn't call it shy, b/c she doesn't hide or get upset, she just won't say anything. So Camille waited until we had gotten back in the car to start her talking and waving bye bye. She is quite the entertainer and has a great sense of humor already.

Camille's new things this month are defnitely words. She is more focused on watching people's mouths as they talk and then tries to make the same sounds. Her words this month are "uh-oh" and "ball." She still loves to say "bye bye" and "da-da." She will tell me "hot" sometimes when I am blowing on her oatmeal and we think her "side" means outside. Camille knows her no's and yes' already too.... she will quickly shake her head in answer to a question. Usually its always a "yes" nod for anything regarding food and a "no" nod for everything else. She is getting so much more fun to play with b/c she really interacts and entertains. Her favorite toys this month are her kitchen (especially the spoons) and her baby doll. The funniest thing she does is what we call her mean face. She was in trouble one day and I gave her my mean look and she did it right back to me. So much for that intimidation. So now, we say, "mean face!" and she squints her eyes and gives you "the look." She also seems to understand everything we tell her these days...... some examples of things I tell her & she responds to: put it in the trash, go to your room, go upstairs, go outside, bath time, bring me the baby, etc...... very fun! She is still very loving which is so cute. She will just give me a hug or want to be held at random times and she loves to come sit in our laps if we are sitting on the floor. When she gets super excited she will run and give us a big squeeze :) Precious!
