Bonnie is 15 months old!

Bonnie had her fifteen month checkup last week. She is a champ when it comes to the shots by this point. She has never had, and probably won't often have an appointment without a shot. Normally the 12 month and 2 year appointments are shot-free, but since her birthday is in the Fall - she ends up getting the flu shot during those appointments. 

She is now 21 pounds, 5 ounces (51st percentile) and 32 inches tall (94th percentile). She has a clean bill of health, although we do need to make a couple specialist appointments to check her hearing (routine given the meds she was given at birth), and an exam to see if she has any delays due to her prematurity. It seems she may be a little behind on her language development. She isn't saying any words yet with real meaning behind them.

Aside from that, she is able to sign 'all done', 'goodnight' 'more' and 'please'. 'Please' is her favorite and uses it anytime she wants something. She is also able to nod 'yes' and 'no', but she doesn't actually know what they mean yet either. Bonnie started walking around 13 months and has been on the move ever since. She loves to run around and explore. She loves to climb and is able to get up and down from the couch by herself. If there is a box or anything she can get on top of she will. She loves being around other kids and being outside. She still isn't able to give kisses yet but will often bow her head toward you if she wants you to kiss her or snuggle you. She knows where her belly is and we are still working on parts of the face like 'eyes', 'nose', etc (she knows they are all generally on her head).

Bonnie's curly hair has really started becoming more prominent. It is mostly in the back, it still looks straight on top but she has some pretty tight curls right after a bath. She has 8 teeth (four on top, four on the bottom). She has transitioned from her infant car seat into the convertible one and seems to like it. She is really enjoying her blocks, she will put them all in a container one by one and then dump them all out. She is still on 2 naps a day (around 9:30 and 2 pm) but will probably be transitioning to one very soon. She goes to sleep around 7 at night and wakes up around 7 - 7:30 in the morning.
