a good 15 month checkup....

Julie weighs 23lbs, 4oz and is 30 inches tall.

Doctor Dalby said that 10-15 words is a lot for this age...

momma, dadda, bubba, turtle, ball, Leia, more, no, no way, etc

Have the tantrums started? Well of course they have...

It's funny, one day this week, Julie went to the pantry, picked out a box of cereal, sat in the middle of the floor and started trying to open the box. Mommy thought she would help things along...and puts some on Julie's food tray. Julie disapproves and swats the food onto the floor :) Guess Mommy should stop helping until I am asked to do so!

Julie loves to "give five". This certainly entertained her in the waiting room at the doctor's office. She even ventured away from Mommy and Daddy, and gave two other folks five.

Wonder who told me to do this?

It's not dinner unless....

one of the kids drops their spoon or fork!!

This started with Jesse...and continues at least once at every meal.

Julie is now starting to chime in!

The pointing and grunting continues....

However, she is finally saying "more"!!

She doesn't use it unless I say it first...but at least she's understanding me!

Pointing and grunting...

The other morning, Julie pointed, grunted and screamed for me to get her more cereal. Once I started moving toward the cereal box and reached in it...she applauded me with much happieness!!

Of course, Mommy is telling her to say "more please".

Later on that weekend, she said "mo" and tonight, she got my attention, then used the sign for "more". Mommy likes this!!

Beautiful weekend to be outside....
