Carter 15 months

Our sweet Carter-girl turned 15 months a few weeks ago, so it was time for another check-up! Carter weighs 22lbs 10 oz (Blair was 22-11) and she is 30 inches tall (Blair was 30.5). She is in the 75th percentile for weight and 25th for height ;)  Blair seemed so much chunkier at this age, but they are actually almost the same size. I guess they just carry their weight differently. Carter got a great report from the pediatrician. She is growing just perfectly and meeting all of her milestones. Carter can say around 40 words right now. She is also pretty good at her animal sounds. She doesn't like to sit still for too many books, so I just have to make sure I constantly talk to her all day long. She is an active little thing!

Carter is still a very good sleeper and a great napper. She goes down at 7 pm every night and sleeps until 7:30 the next morning. She actually doesn't mind if you let her roll around until about 8. She is taking one long nap a day from 1-4.  These are they days when I look back and say to myself that all that sleep training was WELL worth it!

Carter has always been a great eater. She LOVES fruit. Sometimes I think she would keep eating until she exploded. She has recently been turned off my chicken and meat. It appears to maybe be a texture thing. Right now she is suffering with hand foot and mouth disease, so its really hard to tell what she likes right now. I'm hoping she will pick back up on her eating well once these dang mouth sores are gone! This sickness is NO JOKE. 

This little girl is SO spunky. She has such a big heart, but she also has such a strong temper! She definitely already has her own opinions at 15 months old, and she does not like it when she doesn't get her way! She loves her sister so much, and wants to do everything that she does. There is definitely no love around here for baby toys. She has no interest in Elmo, Sesame Street, Barney, or any of the other things her sister liked at this age. Carter is all about Hello Kitty, Micky Mouse, Minnie Mouse, and Disney Princesses.  I guess I will have to start buying two of everything when I go shopping!

Obviously, we are so in love with this little girl. She definitely has the other three people in the house wrapped around her finger. She knows she owns this place. You can tell it by the way she struts around with her stomach sticking out ;) I love it when Blair looks at me and says "Mama, what are we going to do with her?". Well Blair, I don't really know, but I sure am glad I have you to help me figure it out! LOL!
