So I haven't updated on Suri's 'milestones' in quite a while, and Seth & I were discussing the other night how many words she says and sounds she makes, so I figured I should be sharing this info with all of you! Right now, Suri is 15 months....almost 16 (next Saturday). She had her 15 month appointment last week and everything went great! Her measurements were all much on the same track they've always been, except her weight is more in the 75% nowadays, since she's such an active little bug! Height is 32 1/2 inches...still don't know where she's getting that from. She has lots of teeth coming in...slowly but surely. As of right this moment, she has a little bit of a cold and it's so sad to hear her miserable little cough :(  But let's see, she's: walking, crawling, climbing, dancing, bouncing, running...loves to tumble...smiles, laughs, cries, throws tantrums (fun times)...and as I mentioned before says a lot of words and makes lots of sounds! We made a list of all the words she can say and it came out to about 27...with her favorite words of the moment being: Mama, Hi, Buh-bye, Dog, Nana (for banana), No, Shoe and Ball. She also loves to identify/say: eye (while pushing on your eyeball), nose and belly button. She knows what an elephant, dog, monkey, cow and monster/bear say. She also loves to pant like a dog. She loves shoes! Pulls them out of the basket and always puts them on, whether they are hers, mommy's or even daddy's! She has started to figure out where her special treats are (cookies and Goldfish) and will stand by the fridge pointing up, staring at them & eventually throwing a fit if she doesn't get any. Amazing that the tantrums have already started. Seth and I were hoping they'd be a bit later on, but oh well. Suri is eating pretty much everything we eat, which makes cooking a lot simpler. She's also got her own bowls that she can eat out of on her own, and is still mastering the fork, but is pretty good with a spoon. She loves fruit more than anything it seems, which is good. Strawberries and bananas are her faves. Likes to scoop peanut butter off the bread with her fingers. Had edamame for the first time this week & likes it! Pretty much she'll eat anything at any time...lol, she never stops! Suri loves her bath time & could probably spend forever in there. She's learning to brush her teeth all on her own and freaks out if you try to help her. She is a little BOOKWORM! Absolutely looooooooves to read! Her favorite book of the moment is: If You Give a Mouse a Cookie. Which since we read it about 3 times a day, I know if by heart. I hope to get her the rest of the series from that author soon, so we'll have more variety! lol. I guess that's all her major 'milestones' up to this point. Her eczema completely cleared up after we got some Zyrtec and used the hydrocortisone and Aveeno eczema lotion all together. It comes back in little spots, but nothing as bad as it was, thankfully. She's such a blessing and joy each and every day and we are always amazed at how quickly she's learning & growing! We love our little princess more than words can express....XOXO <3 Sc
