Evelyn | Fifteen Months

-Height: 30 3/4 inches / 55 percentile

-Weight: 22 pounds 3 ounces / 62 percentile

-Wearing size 5 in diapers.

-Wearing Size 9-18 months in clothes.

-Now that she can walk she is EVERYWHERE, and she's quick!

-Has four teeth- two on the bottom and two on top.

-Still such a good eater.

-Takes one to two naps a day, about two hours each. She's up on average twice in the night. When she wakes up we hand her a bottle in her crib then she goes right back to sleep. It's exhausting and we plan to take action soon, I'm just not sure yet on what exactly we need to do. It's been a difficult subject her whole life but I have hope that things will get better and easier soon.

-Vocabulary consists of just a few words and phrases: ma (more), keen (clean), ah dun (all done), dada (daddy), and yay. 

-Whenever she's finished in the bath we have a routine where we clean up the bath toys while singing the clean up song. She caught on to it pretty quick. All I have to say is "let's clean up" and she immediately starts putting away her toys while repeating, "keen, keen, keen". Needless to say I'm quite proud of that one.

-Evelyn celebrates everything and congratulates herself with a "yay" at the end of a book, at the end of a song, when we're in the car coming home and pulling into the garage, when I hand her a snack, when she finishes a meal, when she finishes her bottle, after a diaper change- I mean literally it's all the time! I've realized it's probably because I use the word "yay" very frequently around her and it's just something she's caught on to as being a positive thing, so when something makes her happy she feels the need to use it. The best part is when she says "yay" it's not always with a lot of enthusiasm, sometimes it's just a bland and short "yay". It's kind of hilarious.
-Can go up and down the stairs all by herself, but I still don't trust her enough to leave her unattended.

-Her favorite activities include: swimming, being outside or anywhere she can roam around freely, puzzles, stacking blocks, being read to and flipping through books, being sung to and mimicking the hand motions that go along with the songs, peeka-aboo, playing with her letter fridge magnets, playing with Kella, playing with Violet (her Leap Frog puppy), watching Baby Einstein and Little Baby Bum videos, rough-housing with dad, playing with mom's shoes, playing with mom's nail polish, unloading and loading the box of crayons, playing with her little friends from the ward, unrolling toilet paper in the bathrooms, emptying laundry baskets, opening and closing doors, and any other form of trouble she can get into.
