G R O W T H

Spurt

I took my sweet little peanut to the dr.'s today for her 15 month

(she is actually 16 months. I waited to take her with Ethan for his 4 year)

and found out she is no longer a little peanut, but rather a baby monster!

Run for your lives...she may eat you!!

A little growth history:

6mo - 50% height

5% weight

9mo - 10% height

0% weight

12mo - 10% height

5% weight

15mo - 70% height

60% weight

Yikes! There's no stopping her now!
She's a monster!!!!

The above picture is Kate sporting her 18 month clothes (which fit her rather nicely). The boys are ALWAYS wearing a size behind, so when she moved into a size ahead, I knew she was growin' growin'!

Splish Slash, She was takin' a bath!

The other day I heard a little whimper coming from the bathroom- the first thing I thought was "why is she in the bathroom?" We try to always Keep the bathroom door shut because our sweet little Kate has been found, more than once, doing a little "splish, splash, splash" in the ol' can. Well, when I turned the corner, this is what I found!

I still can't figure out HOW she exactly got INTO the toilet - feet first??! But, I must say that I am very thankful that her feet WERE first and not her head! I stuck her in the sink and then she turned the cold water on herself...poor girl!

(and here I am snapping pictures!)
