Jadyn is 15!

15 months, that is. It SEEMS like she is SO much older these days, showing us more of her personality with each passing day. But first.... She had another well-baby visit at the pediatrician office, and on that day, she weighed 19 pounds, 15 ounces and was measured at 30.25 inches tall. We're told she's 10th percentile in weight and 50th percentile in both length and head circumference. Growth spurt! No wonder she no longer fits in her 9-mo sized clothes, and her 12-mo sized clothes are on their way out as well.

Over the past couple of weeks, Jadyn has continued to enjoy life in motion -- riding in/on wagons, toy cars, backpacks, swings, and our neighbor's scooter. Here's some photo documentation.

The hike's destination is wine tasting -- a porch swing makes it just fabulous!



Jadyn is still working on putting on her own shoes


Getting shoes on is the first step to requesting to go outside to play!


Jadyn's vocabulary is growing. New words recently are ball, ears, and cat. She can correctly point out noses, eyes, ears, mouths, and belly buttons on command (if she is in the mood). She mimics everything, it seems, such as wiping her nose/mouth, then disposing of the tissue in the wastebasket, putting keys "in" the door to unlock it, and brushing her hair. When she hears the phone ring, she'll put anything that resembles a phone to her ear and say something that sort of sounds like "hello." Next thing you know, she'll be calling you herself, so stick close to your phone!
