With the move and life being very full at the moment, I have definitely slacked on Julia's individual posts lately (although to cut myself some slack I normally don't keep up with them after 12 months) but I guess I am just feeling guilty since I never included her 15 month well check stats so figured I'd do a combination post of the past 3 months for her.
On December 17, 2015 she had her 15 month well check and appears as healthy as can be. She weighed in at almost 23 pounds (70th percentile) and was 29 inches long putting her only at the 6th percentile. She doesn't seem that small to me so it will be interesting to see if the trend continues at the 18 month check.
Over the past three months she truly has turned into a full blown toddler, definitely no longer is a baby. She climbs stairs by herself, definitely knows what she wants and doesn't want, has almost a full mouth of teeth (just waiting for two bottom ones and the two top incisor ones to fully peek through), yells "Ella" "Mama" or "Dada" constantly throughout the day and demands snacks constantly. Oh, and she is still rocking the curly hair mullet! She is still NOT sleeping through the night by herself. This all began around thanksgiving when she was getting a bunch of teeth in and has now become the new normal...most nights around 11 she wakes up so we bring her into our bed; however, now that we are in the new house we are letting top two teeth come in and once they are she WILL sleep through the night in her own bedroom :) I'll let you know how that goes next month! She is such a snuggler though and will rub your stomach, arms, face all night long if you let her. It is really sweet for a bit until you are trying to fall asleep, too! I have woke up numerous times over the past few months to find her snuggling with Daddy which is so sweet. She continues to really look up to Joseph and Ella, although as of recent she definitely gets frustrated with mostly Ella due to Ella playing with something that all of a sudden Julia decides that she needs to have so she yells loudly, "Ellllllaaaaa" and then normally starts to cry. It is hilarious but also tough trying to teach her that she doesn't get everything she wants immediately, especially when someone else is playing with it! Ahh, life lessons! She has the cutest pout face, which often comes out when someone other than her takes the last snack item or I tell her that something is all gone. She is learning more words every day though and the following are clear and she uses frequently: mama, dada, ella, nana, poppa, more, up, down, stop (op), book, no, bye, laura (lau-lau) and we are working. She still can't say Joseph but she is trying so hard to say it so hopefully by 18 months! She signs "please" for both please and thank you.
January 8, 2015-16 months!
Love you sweet Jules!!
