We had out 15 month Doctor visit yesterday and Cristiana did great. She loved walking around the entire office smiling and saying "hey" to people and was a great patient as usual, as the doctor commented. She got 1 shot and didn't even flinch (what a trooper). She is cruising along the 40-50% in weight (21lbs & 12 oz) and is up in the 50-60% in height (30.5 in), so she is no longer a shortie! I can't believe that just a few months ago her weight was hovering in the low 5% and now she's up with the majority of the population (as per the charts of course) and she even has a belly (as you've probably noticed in some of the pictures). Since the last doctor visit Cristiana has started to walk, sing, dances more than ever, says the following words: baby, bird, this, hey, baba or something of that sort (for banana), papa, mama, oh..and caca (which means poop in Spanish...which I say to her every time she touches something nasty like the garbage) She's also signing things, she signs: food, water, more, and she's starting to sign bird as well. She likes to "read" her books on her own and use a spoon on her own as well. She's sleeping so much better now (yes, you heard it right, I said the word sleep with a positive tone), still not through the night, but a HUGE improvement. She loves to run out in the backyard and run on our trampoline and do so many more fun things. Like always she's our clown and of course our crazy little monkey.
