Leah - 15 months old!

Last week, our sweet Leah Kate turned 15 months old. It is crazy that she is such a big girl already. On Tuesday she had a doctor's appointment. She got one shot and was so mad at the nurse after she got the shot, but then waved and blew her kisses on the way out. Here are her stats:
Weight: 19 pounds, 14 ounces - 8th percentile
Height: 30 inches - 26th percentile
Head: 46 cm - 51st percentile

Tim was very worried that the doctor would be worried about Leah not gaining much since her one year visit, but the doctor was fine with it. He knew how active she has gotten since she her last visit, and figured she is probably just using a lot more calories these days. He looked at her chunky thighs and said, "It doesn't look like this child is starving!"

We certainly don't think she is starving, the girl is a wonderful eater. She will eat most anything - meat, veggies, fruits, bread. She drinks a ton of milk and loves anything dairy, especially cheese. Many times, she will eat more than Cameron during a meal. All of that is exactly why I wasn't too worried about Leah's lack of weight gain.

Miss Leah is indeed a very active girl these days. At around twelve and a half months, she started walking quite a bit. It started out, of course, with four or five Frankenstein steps between Mama and Daddy, but pretty quickly turned into walking for distances. Now she walks, runs, can walk backwards and tries her hardest to jump. She LOVES to dance and do acrobatics - really she likes to do whatever her big brother is doing!

Leah has always been a curious girl, and now that she is active it has just increased. She is very mischievous and is getting into everything! We have definitely gone into childproofing overdrive, making sure all of the cabinets are locked and the dangerous stuff is out of reach. Leah loves to walk around the kitchen, opening up every single cupboard, looking in, taking one or two things out and moving on to the next. She can be a one-woman wrecking crew, but it is very fun to see her start to explore her world.
