15 Months

Rockin' the gown...

Graycen had her 15 month check up with her doctor.  The nurse insisted she wear a gown, so she wouldn't get cold.  With rolled up sleeves and extremely cinched drawstrings, she was able to walk around without tripping. 

Graycen continues to hold steady in the 25th percentile for height and weight:

• 20 lbs. 8oz.
• 30.75 inches long

She did great, just a few tears shed when she was given her shots. 

Updates since the last post....

...Graycen is walking on her own and now there is no stopping her.

...has added a new word to her vocabulary - "nana" (banana).  While shopping in the produce section of Trader Joe's this weekend, she pointed to her favorite fruit and said "nana."

...can point to her eyes, nose, and tummy with fairly good accuracy.

Future Model?

Last weekend's photoshoot.... 

My brother and his girlfriend met us at Bothell's Country Village to take a few photos of Graycen.  Here are a few of my favorites. 

 

 

 

 

A Long Overdue Graycen Update

Did we have the month of April this year?  I’m not sure what happened to it, if we did J

 

At 15 months, Gracyen….

…is learning to brush her teeth – all three of them.  In fact she gets quite irritated if we forget to give her the toothbrush while she's taking her bath.  She will point and grunt until we give it to her.

 ...loves to walk, as long as she is holding our hand, or pushing one of her toys around.  She will stand by herself for a few seconds and has taken a couple of steps, but still doesn’t have the confidence to let go.

 

...has mastered going up the stairs, just need to teach her how to come down.

 

….loves being outside.  Seattle has had some GORGEOUS weather in the last week and we have been outside enjoying the sunshine, grass, trees, flowers, and birds as much as possible.  Graycen is quite content going for a ride outside in her stroller, especially when the ride ends with ice cream.

…talks ALL THE TIME!!!!  Her talking is mostly babbling, but she is able to say a few words/sounds to tell us what she sees or what she wants.  A few of her favorites are:

·         “bir” – bird

·         “mah” – milk

·         “puh puh” – puppy

·         “bah bah” – bye-bye

·         “mmmm” – when something is delicious

·         “uh oh” – when something falls, accident or intentional.

 

 …she LOVES the dogs, especially Halen.  Halen is incredibly tolerant of her pulling and pushing, such a good dog!
