15 Month Checkup

On Monday, September 17, 2007, Zoe had her 15 month checkup with Dr. Beveridge. She weighed in at a whopping 26 lbs. 6 oz., measured 32 3/4 inches in length and her head measured 48 cm. She had gained almost 3 pounds since her 12 month checkup, had grown another inch in length and her head had gone from 47cm to 48 cm. She is now in the 92nd percentile for weight, 95th percentile for head size and is off the charts for height. I don't know where she gets the height from, but I hope she keeps on growing and keeps those long legs....we don't want her to have Mommy's nubs! Dr. Beveridge was pleased with her and we don't go back until she is 18 months old. We do go back sometime in October or November to get a flu shot and we pray she doesn't have any illnesses between now and then. At this point, we are having some allergy issues, but there hasn't been any wheezing. We feel so blessed to have gone three months without breathing treatments. Thank God!

Zoe is now climbing on everything. She wants to get up and then down, up and then down. And she is starting to try to throw her leg up on the side of her crib. Dr. Beveridge said we need to take her crib bumper out now because a lot of children use it as leverage to climb out of the crib. She said once she seems like she's getting ready to climb out, then we need to go ahead and put her in a toddler bed. She said we definitely don't want to wait until she hurts herself before we transfer her to a toddler bed. It amazes me how fast they grow up. It seems each day she says some other new word or does something else new. It's amazing! And her favorite word? "No!" Go figure....she should know it since she hears it often enough!
