Peyton had her 15 month checkup today. It was definitely a different experience since this was the first appointment that she was walking confidently. She made laps around the waiting room entertaining everyone. It took a couple of minutes of me freaking out before I realized she wasn't going to hurt anything.
I kept hearing that kids start maintaining their weight now but not our Peyton. Even with all her running around she still managed to put on a couple pounds. I told Doc that she can put down some food but she said as long as we're giving her healthy food (no juice or junk for her!) she is fine. She likes hearing kids having this issue versus the ones who won't eat anything at this age. Peyton was happy to hear that!
I feel like every appointment is a brag session but I can't help it if I'm a proud mama. Our princess is definitely not a baby anymore. She seems to be picking up new words every day and we really have to watch out what we say and what is on the radio (like our rap CDs!) since she is starting to repeat everything. I did feel a little bad at the doctor when she asked me if Peyton immitated me doing household chores. I redirected by saying she can follow easy directions (bring the bag into the kitchen, pick up the book, etc.) but didn't want to admit that the reason she didn't imitate me doing chores was that she rarely saw me doing them. :-) Hey, I only get a few hours of awake time a day with her, why waste them doing chores!
Only two more appointments and then we start going yearly instead of every three months! I actually am not sure if I'm happy or sad about that.
Stats:
Weight: 27 lbs 7 oz (95%)
Height: 31.5 inches (75-90%)
Head 45.3 cm (25-50%)
