Our Little House: 15 months!

At 15 months Wren is still topping the growth charts. She is 33.25" tall (99th percentile) and weighs 25 pounds, 8.5 ounces (92nd percentile). Wren still has a healthy belly but her little legs are getting skinny, which really amplifies her cloth diaper booty! She now has 11 teeth, thanks to her lower right lateral incisor cutting through in the last week and after a rough night last night we are anticipating her 4th first molar breaking through. She has a pretty big vocabulary (though No, Mine, and Thank you are most often heard) and just started saying "All done" when she wants to get down from the table. She now puts stuffed animals away in the cupboard and says "Night Night". She amazes us with how much she understands and can go to her room and get a hat or socks from her dresser if asked. We have the same bedtime routine that has been in place for many, many months and after reading stories as a family Wren decides who gets to put her to bed. Wren loves milk from a bottle....we are still on the bottle. Our hope was to have transitioned by now to cup/sippy/straw but we aren't there yet. We leave for our Hawaiian vacation in a few weeks and plan to really attack this bottle issue when we return. Hey - we all want peace and joy on our vacation and flight, right? Wren likes to climb and in no time will be getting up on the couch on her own. She really likes to sit in grown up chairs at the table and color on paper/newspaper/table top. She has recently started singing little songs made of a string of "ba ba ba" and sweetly serenaded me one evening as I danced with her in my arms. Her hair is getting pretty long and still has an adorable mullet quality to it, but s/he who dares approach Wren with scissors will surely feel my wrath. It may be years before a first hair cut!

Here are a few pictures from a recent sunny afternoon of packing up Christmas decorations.
