Star - 15 Months

Age: 15 months

Terrible picture, but the photographing an active 15 month old with a cheap camera isn't easy!

This is what most of the pictures ended up looking like.

Weight and height:  Probably around 19 pounds.  Her 15 month checkup got pushed back to later this month so I'll update her weight and height in her 16 month update.

Wearing: Size 3 diapers and 12 month clothes.

Likes: "Reading" books, "writing" especially with pens, LOVES her special owl blanket, dancing to music, her pacifier (more on that below).

Dislikes: Water on her face, getting out of the bathtub, being told no.

Eating habits: She eats 3 meals and 1 snack in the afternoon.  Her favorite food is still green beans and she also loves peas, toast and waffles.

Sleeping habits: She wakes up between 7 and 7:30 in the morning and needs a nap around 9am.  She naps again after lunch and is ready for bed by 6 pm.  She's been napping a little better this month which I'm so thankful for!  She is still not the greatest sleeper at night and usually wakes up 1-2 times a night.  Generally, all I have to do is pick her up, give her her blanket and pacifier, and lay her back down, but sometimes she'll have a hard time falling back asleep. 

Milestones/Accomplishments: She knows the following words in sign language and uses them correctly:
More
Milk
All done
Blanket
Eat
Please

Miscellaneous: Unfortunately, we STILL don't have a house of our own so she's going to have to move into the big kids' bedroom before the baby comes in 2 months.  That will mean even less sleep for all 3 of the kids (which results in a very grumpy Mommy!).  I was planning to take away her pacifier before the switch since it isn't going to work very well afterwards, but she's already not that great of a sleeper, and I'm pretty desperate for sleep right now so I'm thinking I'll just let her keep it for now and deal with the pacifier issue when she's a little older.  Any thoughts on that?
