15 months

July 15th also marked Monroe's 15 month birthday.  She is growing up so fast!
At 15 months, Monroe is fun-loving, opinionated, and sweet.  (If one can be all those things at once.)  She loves to laugh and play.  She is usually the entertainment at a get-together.  She also says hi to any stranger she sees.  When people don't say hi back, she glares at them.  Monroe also likes things her way.  She does not like being told no and typically continues doing whatever she is told not to do.  I am afraid she is going to be strong willed like her mother.  Thankfully, Monroe also has a sweet side.  She still loves to cuddle and give hugs and kisses.  At an age when she is always on the go, she still plops down in our laps to read a book or lays her head on our shoulders when she's tired.

Monroe is talking constantly.  She amazes us daily with her new words.  She recognizes and says Mommy, Daddy, Papa, Gama, Karter, Jensen, Kaiya, Landon, Paisley, and Jadyn.
She also says no, yeah, up, down, hot, out, ball, car, balloon, more, all done, cracker, cheese, puppy, kitty, woof, uh oh, pretty, itsy, shoes, banana, please, thank you, hi, bye bye, good girl, two, baby, go, open, and boo
Monroe also knows where her mouth, nose, eyes, ears, hair, toes, tummy, button and feet are.

We had her doctor's appointment this week.  Our once tall little girl has not grown much lately.  From birth to 6 months, Monroe was in the 90 percentile for height.  At 9 months, she was in the 75th.  At 12 months, she was in the 50th.  Now, at 15 months, she is in the 25th percentile.  She just might be a shorty.  Other than her lack of growth, her doctor was very pleased with Monroe's progress.

  1. I like this update. Baby Boy came out in the 90th percentile in weight and length and I'm always skeptical when people predict his future height. You just can't know early on. I'd love to see her glare at the unfriendly passerby;)
