I can hardly believe that my baby is 15 months old, the time has gone by very fast. On Friday she had her 15 months check up. She is doing great ... weighin in at 21 lbs. 10 oz. (fully clothed shoes and all, my guess is minus the clothes around 21 lbs) and 30 1/2 inches tall. This puts her in the 38th precentile for weight and the 55th percentile for height. She is right on track with all of her motor skills and verbal communication.
One thing that really cracked me up at the appointment was the doctors comment on how advanced she was...SO she of course was very quite while the Doctor was in the room because she is starting to be very much a mommy's girl. The Dr walked out of the room for a moment and she sprang back to life, pointing to a poster on the wall and saying "touch, touch" "mommy, touch". Well with each statement she became more and more upset and began talking louder and louder. I picked her up to let her get a closer look at the poster and that still was not what she had in mind. I think that she wanted it off the wall so she could hold it. Needless to say this turned into one of her very famous melt down moments, a full blown tantrum...arms flailing at her sides, face turning bright red, holding her breath in between screams to make you think she might just never breathe again. Then the Doctor walked back in...ok and get this he says "is she having a temper tantrum?" So I comment back "well that 's what we call it but do you have a better term?" (mind you Skylar is still having this tantrum because she still doesn't have the poster) The Doctor goes on to say that Skylar is advanced because typically tantrums of that caliber are not until around the age of 24 months, and he suggests that we work on it so that we are not paying for it when she is 2 or 3. So we continue on with explaining to her that mommy and daddy don't like screaming, hopefully this tactic will work. Or maybe our secnod line of defense of walking away after explaining that, they only problem I for see is I can't walk away in public :D So far I am lucky that we haven't had to deal with her tantrums much outside of our home.
So all in all Skylar is growing up just as she should! She is a great little girl and it is awesome to watch her discover the world everyday! I am really looking forward to this summer when we can get outside and play and not have to be cooped up in the house!
