15 Months!!!

Clayton at her 15 month check up...and look at her little red nose...it is getting better...

I cannot believe Clayton Grace is already 15 months old!!! It seems like yesterday that I was starting back to work after being on maternity leave! AND IT HAS BEEN A WHOLE YEAR!!! Goodness, time flies by SOOO quickly!

We went for her check-up this week, and boy was it FUN...oh no, it was totally NOT fun at all! She had a wonderful toddler fit if Dr. Daniels even tried to get close to her...it was awful. And she was screaming and crying BEFORE the nurse even came in with the shots. It could have been because it was her morning nap time?!? But it was AWFUL! And there is a national shortage of HIB vaccine, so we didn't get our dose that we should have received at this appt. The nurse said that hopefully it will be available by the time we get to her 18 month check-up...but that she was still covered by her other doses that she previously had...still kind of makes me nervous!

***Updates***
Weight: 23 lbs.
Length: 31 1/2 inches
Head: 18 3/4 inches

She is SOOO long that we are having to buy 18 month pants now b/c she has outgrown all of her pants...the problem is, her weight still fit in to the smaller end of the 12 month category! So the pants we bought her last night for a Christmas "outfit" just fall off because she can't keep them up! She wears a 4 to 4 & 1/2 in shoes.

What's she doing?
EVERYTHING! Totally showing off...when she wants to! She is using several words together (she has been for a while)...but my favorites are: "Moof Dadda" "(move) as she pushes Mark out of her way..I tuck, I tuck (I'm stuck...usually when she has crammed herself somewhere that she shouldn't be!) And.."I uh nack, Momma, nack!" which is "I want a snack, Momma, snack"

AND...If you ask her how old she is, she will hold up her 1st finger and say ONE...even at her check-up she did it! And she told Dr. Daniels "I uh color" when he was writing in her file...wonder what kind of crazy stuff he was writing about her?!?

At the mall yesterday, she had the "opportunity" to get out of her stroller and "walk" around for a bit...and she proceeded to "run" and "kick" while SHOUTING, yes shouting "RUN, RUN" or "Kick" Yes, yesterday I became one of those parents that I have always thought "Can't you control your child...why would you let them run around like that!?!?" Whatcha gonna do?!? Sometimes you just have to let them release their energy...good thing she is adorable, so people were stopping to smile at her and try to talk to her!

What does she eat?
She loves beam-beam (green beans), carrots, and chicken (which she actually says normally)...oh, and tatos (mashed potatoes). That is her "favorite" meal! She also loves any fruit that you put in front of her...which makes me sad that it is hard to find good, fresh cantelopes, peaches, strawberries, and watermelon right now. And BEWARE hide your "nanas" because if she sees a banana, she WILL fight you for it!

What does she like to do?
She loves to sing in the car or on the porch swing. She loves to read books...especially ones that have "flaps." Her Aunt Ca-Ca has her addicted to Pooh...so any time she sees a tv, she points and says "Pooh" with a cute little finger pointing at the tv! She LOVES to be outside...in the front yard...at the park...on the mule with her Big Clayton. She loves to see live animals- horses, cows, dogs...not necessarily cats!
