Another Setback

Poor Dani is sick again, this time with a stomach bug. So far no fever, but good luck keeping anything in her!

Bigger Undies and Kissy Faces

This past week, Dani went from size two diapers to size three in disposables. 

This week she started telling me what a snake says, hissssss.  This is among saying kitties meow, puppies arf, tractors bumbumbummm (along with a bounce), and cars vroom.

She also recently started making kissy faces.  For a few weeks she has been "giving kisses" by bringing her dolls to her mouth. Then she did that and made a smacking noise with her lips.  Now she's starting to make kissy faces.

I went back looking for a blog that announced Dani's molars and couldn't find it, but just around the time she got a virus at Christmas, she had two upper molars and two lower molars come in, and boy can she use them!  She also brushes her own teeth!

1 1/4 Year (or 15 month) Stats

My little walking, talking, cookie monster had her 15 month check up today.  Despite not liking the doctor, or being weighed, or the vaccine, she did extremely well.  The following are her stats:

• Height 29"
• Head Circumference 17 1/4"
• Weight 16.2 pounds (or 16 pounds 3 ounces)

Stairs

This past weekend (the 28th and 29th of January), little Miss Dani "mastered" climbing the stairs alone.  It is true that I stood just behind her in case she fell, and a few times when I could see her little legs weary with the new task, I would just support her butt until she made the climb.  With that said though, I do believe she's figured it all out.  NOW I just need to teach her to scoot on her butt down the stairs to prevent any falls.

It was only the week before that she started walking unassisted.   I often watch her standing in a somewhat squatted position trying to decide if she should stand and walk quickly to where she needs to go or if she should go into default "crawl mode".
