Our littlest little is getting big so fast! She had her 15 month check up yesterday. She weighed 22lbs 2 oz (40th percentile) and measured 33.25 inches long (99th percentile). She has a cold, but checked out fine. I asked about her left foot which turns in pretty significantly when she walks. Doc said we will keep an eye on it but her hip is fine so it will probably just straighten its self out as she walks more. She is walking pretty well while holding onto our hands. Still not standing or walking unsupported. She is talking up a storm! She says "hi," "night-night," "go," "mama," "dada," and "backpack." Yes, backpack. Reagan's Dora backpack (from the Smiths! Thank you!) is a big hit with the little too, and it talks when you press it's mouth. Elsie pushes it over and over until it gets to the song, "Backpack, backpack!" A week or so ago she looked at me and said, "backpack," then pointed to the toy (without turning on the song), and then repeated it. So smart! She is really imitating our words and Craig had her saying, "yogurt" the other night while he fed her. She has not repeated that one yet though:-) She knows about 6 signs, and loves showing us how she knows them:-) Elsie is such a happy girl. We are so blessed to have her.
All around me I am seeing and hearing of people getting cancer, children losing their parents, and parents losing children. I feel so sad, and also, so incredibly blessed at our healthy little family. One of my favorite photographers shared today that one of her little newborn client was hospitalized recently, and today his parents are having to "say goodbye." Heart. Breaking. Life is so FREAKING precious. Hug your loved ones everyone! And take pictures.
