TEAM Hardison: 15 Months!

Bringing back the bear pics... We're rocking the jammies today due to Aves being under the weather, bless her heart.

I feel like these last 3 months have FLOWN by. We have been so busy here that I looked down at my phone at work the other day and realized that Avery was 15 months. My baby girl isn't so much a baby anymore... She is in such a fun stage, always talking, playing, messing up something, just always so busy.

Avery here are your stats at 15 months:

Weight: 21.11 pounds (25th Percentile)

Height: 31.25 inches (75th Percentile)

Sleep: You go to bed around 7:00 every night if we are home. If it's a church night or we are out having dinner with friends you can make it to 8:00, if you have toys/friends to distract you :) You sleep until about 7:00-7:30 every morning.

Likes: Story time at the Library, going to play in the nursery at the Y while Mommy gets in a quick workout (the first few times you were a little unsure, now I put you down and you are off without even looking back at me), getting into Mommy's kitchen cabinets, playing with Lexi, playing the snoring game with Daddy, watching Doc McStuffins. (M and I are not big on letting her watch too much TV, but the only one she has ever paid attention to was Doc McStuffins, so she is allowed the occasional treat... and she LOVES it), she also likes to grab my phone and say, "Noney, Noney". She remembers that is how she sees her on Face Time. Crazy how kids pick up on stuff. When we went to the beach you could not get enough of the ocean. You loved the waves coming up and splashing you.

Dislikes: You still don't like riding in your car seat, and you don't like sitting in a high chair while we are out at a restaurant for longer than about 15 min (usually you don't mind at home for some strange reason)

Favorite Toys: Your Mickey Mouse car, drum set, and anything that isn't really a toy ;)

Favorite Books: "Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?", "Goodnight Moon", "Peter Rabbit, Show Me Your Ears!"

Diaper Size: 4

Clothes Size: You can still wear some of your smocked 12 months, but you are mostly in 18 months in everything

Favorite Foods: Blueberries, avocado, green beans, homemade mac n cheese, cheese, and turkey

Words: Mommy, Daddy, Lexi (Dedi), Honey (Noney), Ashley (Ashdey), Mimi, Papa, Baby, Bear, Hi, Hey, Banana (Nana), Happy, Milk, No, Bye Bye, Uh Oh, Apple and just recently started saying Avery (sounds more like Abie)

Milestones: You started walking at about 13 months. Once you were taking steps you were basically running. You finally got teeth! You went from barely having 1 coming in on your birthday to now having 8, with two coming in (you even have molars). You went from knowing 4 words to about 19 since you turned 1. It's amazing to see how much you are learning, even on a daily basis.1

Personality: You are still as sweet as you can be. Now when you rock to sleep you put your little hand behind your back so that you can hold onto Mommy's hand while you are falling asleep. Makes Mommy's heart melt. You LOVE your Daddy, and your face lights up when he gets home in the evenings. You are a busy little bee, always going from one thing to the next. You have gotten so great at playing independently most days, which helps Mommy get stuff done around the house. You have quite a bit of sass, and have had your share of mini tantrums. Usually you work it out on your own, but it's actually quite hilarious to see you flail your arms around and kick your legs on the carpet.

Little Nug, you are simply the biggest blessing. You have such a beautiful gap-toothed smile and the most contagious little laugh. We love you so very much!
