Look who's 1 1/2 years old today!

Yep, that's right...our baby girl is 1 1/2 years old today! Gosh...she is growing up way too fast!! Here are her stats from her doctor's visit yesterday:

weight: 22 lbs 2.5 oz (25%)
height: 34 in (97%)

**I'm not sure how accurate these measurements were because Jaelyn was NOT a happy camper at the doctor's visit! She cried big tears when we tried to get her weighed & measured! I think she recognized the nurse who was doing the measurements because she is the one who usually pokes her! Poor girl! She also cried when Dr. Dave examined her. She did not like him looking at her ears, mouth, or listening to her heart. She worked herself up so much that she took a nap for 3 1/2 hours! It would have been longer, but I woke her up so that she would be able to get to bed at night!**


some of her words: poopy (her latest word!), dirty, truck, duck, more, baby, emo (elmo) & the usuals (mommy, daddy, what's that?, uh-oh, buh-bye, peese, yes, pa (opa), ma (oma), dog-dog, no, and she says many more words on command. (even "brudus"...cousin Lexi's dog!)
animal noises: chicken (along with hand motions!), cow, duck, monkey, dog, cat, bear, lion
favorite books: her elmo book, the sparkly frog book, 3 minute tale book (just looking at the pictures of the animals), and really enjoys looking through magazines to find pictures of doggies.
favorite foods: basic 4 cereal (she's won't eat cherrios & other kids cereal...she's sick of them!), eggs, mac n cheese, salmon, beans, and any fruit.
favorite toys: the noisy "popper", ride-on bus, balls,
how many teeth: 13
loves to: color (we are working on her coloring just on the paper & not taste testing the crayons!), turn on the radio and dance, to eat her snack out of a bowl while sitting on the couch, bath time, playing outside, jumping on the bed, looking at pictures & watching video of herself on the computer.
hates: to have her nails cut & doctor's visits.
sleeps: goes down at night around 7-7:30pm and wakes up around 7:30-8am. She takes one nap...usually right after lunch for about 1-1.5 hours.
