15 Months Old

MacKenzie is 15 months old today!  Wow how time flies!  My baby isn't a baby anymore - she is becoming a little girl.  She is so much fun right now & I am really enjoying this stage of her life. 

She weighs 25 lbs and is about 32 inches long.  Wednesday is her 15 month check up with Dr. Patz, so we will get the "official" stats then.  I think she has hit a bit of a growth spurt because she is sleeping a lot and wants to eat all the time! 

MacKenzie is walking everywhere - no more crawling for this girl!  She loves to walk around & explore the house.  She also likes to climb the stairs - needless to say this Momma and MiMi get lots of exercise following her around!

 

One of her favorite things to do is to throw her plastic balls.  She loves to throw them to Grumps!  Grumps has really become her playmate lately and she likes to give him everything she can find to hold for her.  She also likes to play with his Blackberry.  MacKenzie also loves to "read" her books, Winnie the Pooh, Mickey & Minnie (and friends), telephones, and Little People.

MacKenzie still likes to eat and I really don't think there is anything she doesn't like.  Recently, we have discovered that she likes Jello tapioca pudding.  She loves anything she can feed herself and is starting to want to use a spoon to feed herself.  Sometimes she is a mess after she eats, but that's ok with me!

She no longer takes a bottle, even at bedtime and continues to be a really good sleeper.  It is very rare for her to not sleep all night and she usually sleeps 10 - 12 hours at night.  She also usually takes a 2 - 3 hour nap during the day.  Of course, when she is awake, she seems to be constantly on the go - I would sleep good too if I moved as much as she does.

Her vocabulary is increasing every day.  She says ball and shoe now.  And the other day, it sounded like she said "right back".  She can also identify all of the characters from Mickey Mouse Clubhouse (Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Daisy, Pluto & Goofy) and most of the characters from Winnie the Pooh (Pooh, Tigger, Eeyore & Piglet).  MacKenzie also likes to look at pictures and point people out. 

Happy 15 Month Day Sweet Girl!
