Quinn is 15 months old!

Happy 15 month Birthday smiley girl!

15 months old is such a fun yet challenging age. Our little girl is defenitely growing up and exploring her boundaries more and more. She is walking like a pro now, even trying to run when possible. She has found out that there is a lot to discover outside and is super excited when she sees us grabbing her jacket (unfortunately it's still too cold to go outside without one...). She just loves to be on the go all the time. Picking up rocks, wood chips, leaves, whatever she can find.

She has also been practising on talking and can now say mama, papa (daddy), puppy (although she pronounces it more like papa), hi, bumba (her favorite tv character) and she has a special way of saying 'alsjeblieft' (which means here you go or please). And not to forget 'no no no no no'.

She is still taking 2 naps during the day. Her morning nap is normally from 9 to 10am and in the afternoon she can sleep for up to 3 hours between 1 and 4pm. Bedtime is around 7.15pm and she sleeps between 11 and 12 hours at night. I can defenitely say that most of the time, she is an awesome sleeper, and I just hope that baby number 2 will take after her!

Her 15-months wellness stats are:
* weight: 19 lbs 2 oz (8700 grams)
* height: 30.75 inches (78 cm)
* head circumference: 47,5 cm
She didn't gain any weight compared to her last doctor's visit and is on the lowest line weight wise. But the pediatrician wasn't concerned about it. She did grow almost 2 inches and with her being more active, her weightgain was expected to slow down anyway. As long as she eats okay (which she does most of the time) and keeps being healthy as she is, there is no reason for concern.

At the moment she has 6 teeth. 5 are visable when she smiles (3 on top and 2 on the bottom), and the doctor found that her first top left moulder (kies) came through as well. She wouldn't open her mouth for me to show me and I'm too afraid to stick my fingers in her mouth, so I didn't know she had that one yet. Way to go girl. Only 14 to go.

In the next few months, we're going to work on getting her ready to become a big sister. For as much that is possible of course. For sure it will mean moving her into her new bedroom with a big girl bed. Our goal is to have her new room ready by the beginning of July so she has a good 4 to 6 weeks to get used to it before the baby arrives. I can't believe that my little girl will be out of her crib within two months from now!!!!
