Avery at 15 months

I'm really backtracking but I never put in her 15 month check up info so here goes...August 1st is the day we are saying that Avery started walking. It was the first day that when you heard her come in to the room you knew she was walking and not crawling. It was two weeks before she turned 14 months. She is such a big girl! Her stats at her 15 month check up (September 17th) were 24.2 lbs and 31 inches tall. She's usually 50th percentile in weight and 75th in height. She is not talking yet, but definitely gets her point across when communicating. She will point to things and grunt or say, "hmmm." You know without a shadow of a doubt what she is saying with that grunt. She loves watching Alex and loves to do and try everything he is doing. Whether it is eating, drinking, playing, climbing, etc. If he gets himself a drink of water she will walk over, get a cup from the drawer, and try to do the same. I have to remember to lock the water on the refrigerator. One thing she learned before Alex...how to blow her nose! It was amazing! One day (10/14 to be exact) she was just blowing her nose on everything-my shirt, a tissue, a dish towel, you name it. That's a big accomplishment in our house and I was so proud of her! She loves bananas, oranges, muffins, books, getting q-tips from my bathroom drawer, dancing, dressing up, clothes, shoes, brushing her hair and dogs. She will get mad at me if I don't put on a certain pair of shoes for her or a coat(keep in mind it was still 80 degrees here when she was 15 months). She loves her pretty things! She will throw a tantrum and just lay down on the ground and cry when we are at home and she doesn't get to put on what she wants or if she wants a toy Alex is playing with. She is very sweet to him but will snatch a toy away from him and jerk/pull her arms in when he reaches for it. It is very comical, at least now!:) We know we will have our hands full with her and her demanding ways!:) BUT she also has THE sweetest smile and most beautiful blue eyes and I know they will keep her out of trouble (at least in our house)!
