Miss Susannah - 15 months

Susannah turned 15 months on June 20th, only a day late updating this time, so I felt the need to update you on her progress. Also, a blog update would not be appropriate without pictures for you to oooooh and ahhhhh over.

We're about to make a quick trip to MS and back for a Moak family vacation, so she won't have her official 15 month checkup to be able to update growth until we return. However, she is currently dealing with a stubborn sinus infection and had to make a visit to the pediatrician. We were surprised to find out that she now weighs a whopping 14.2 lbs. Yeah, I realize that is not much for your average 15 month old, but that is the largest weight gain she's had between visits. We were very blessed to find such a simple solution to her weight gain issue. She is a champ at wearing that cpap machine at night with very little fussing.

Things I am doing at fifteen months:

• She is a good sleeper, tolerates the cpap well, and likes to sleep in to eight or nine in the morning.
• She has progressed well with mobility in the past three months. She travels all over the house by rolling or doing an army crawl.
• Still has two teeth on top and three on bottom, but I can see where more are trying to come in on the top.
• Susannah is starting to skip the morning nap and usually takes a short nap in the afternoon.
• The personality is really starting to shine through....she is such a sweet, kind, happy baby. But, can turn a switch so quickly to cry for long periods.
• She has a small vocabulary which consists of saying dada and using those same sounds for good night, bye and anything else she is trying to communicate. Jeremiah's vocabulary was very small until he was two and then the words just started flowing out of him. We'll continue to work with her, but not worried at this point.
• It won't be long until we have a little girl sitting up independently. She does really well balancing while playing in the floor with a toy, but usually falls over while trying to reach for another toy.
• We are currently switching all her clothes from 0-3 months to 3-6 months. She will probably still be in 0-3 month pants in the winter. She's still in a size 2 diaper and size 0 shoe.
• Susannah loves to imitate things that she sees her brother or us do....she is getting good at giving high fives.
