15 month stats...

Walking from mommy to daddy
Climbing stairs

Izzy turned 15 months old a few weeks ago and once again we marked the occasion with a pediatrician visit and some shots. Here are her current stats:

Weight: 22 lbs. 8 oz. - 50% percentile
Height: 29 3/4 inches - 25-50% percentile
Head: 46 1/2 cm - 75% percentile

Clearly, Izzy is still top-heavy. The doctor said when babies have large(er) heads that their body doesn't usually catch up until they are 2 or 3. Looks like she'll be stuck with a big head for a while :) Also, her height has definitely tapered off...she hasn't outgrown footed-jammies in MONTHS. Again, the doc said this is the stage called the "Toddler Slump." Definitely agree on this front...it seemed she used to go through new sizes of clothes every few weeks, and now she hasn't outgrown pants in a long time.

Izzy has lots of words: cracker, Baxter, Katie, duck, quack, mama, dada, ball, hi, bye-bye, moo and pop-pop. She is also working on whistling - she mimics everything we do. A whistling noise does come out, although it's when she sucks IN instead of blowing out. It's too cute. And the signs in her repertoire include: cracker, please, thank you, blowing kisses (not a true sign), eat, banana, and water.

Izzy has also become quite the walker. She can walk across entire rooms now, instead of the few steps she took at Christmastime. Still, her main mode of transportation is crawling. She loves to climb the stairs to go to bed and take baths.
