The Incredible Growing Girl

Amelia had her 15 month checkup yesterday. She shot up from the 10th percentile in weight and height to 25th and 50th, respectively. She's close to 20 lbs now. Still a peanut compared to most kids in her class but definitely getting to the point where it's a pain to haul her around all the time. Her head circumference is back on the charts, so that's good too.

She got 2 shots and handled them like a trooper. Cried for a minute but was silent before we left the doctor's office. The doctor said she's doing everything she should be and is pretty much right on target for growth. So, hooray!

Kieran has finally spoken up about the amount of time I've been spending with Mia. I knew it was a lot (I put her down most nights, while Ken puts Kieran to bed), but my heart broke a little when he admitted that he talked like a baby because "Mom, you do more fun things with Mia than you do with me". This coming week we'll see how it goes, working on spending more time with him (when I'm not yelling at him to pick up his room, get ready for school or do his homework).

Our other big news is the dog. Well, puppy, actually. Can't believe we did this again. What were we thinking?

Oh, right, he's cute.
