We've started talking with Maxwell about what he wants for his birthday and he says he wants a "bee truck" (Bumblebee from transformers) and a pet fish - "because fish don't lick you". (He really doesn't like dogs especially because they lick. It's funny because Emmalyn is the exact opposite and LOVES puppies. She can hear a dog bark from down the street and will say "puppy".
Max is now tall enough to open my car doors. We are still waiting for the day he can turn on the lights in our house.
Maxwell doesn't have a favorite TV show lately. He watches a bunch of things.
He has been into the Minions, from Despicable me, watches, wearing bags/bagpacks, and picking out t-shirts and athletic shorts to wear.
He typically wants to wear socks all day and night.
He's doing awesome at reading and swimming - this weekend he swam for nearly two hours and that's two hours of him really swimming and jumping in and diving down for dive sticks, etc. He's got it and can do it by himself with us just watching (closely of course)!
He likes dancing shows and dancing.
He gives nice compliments and will tell you he loves you on his own.
He's been a momma's boy lately and wants to cuddle and have me to scratch his back "that feels good momma".
He helps with chores if we ask him and puts his dishes in the sink.
Eating is hit and miss - he's asking for a lot of snacks and dessert lately especially other things to drink than water such as lemonade or juice or chocolate milk.
Maxwell loves to give kisses and will grab your arm or hand and just give you kisses.
We've been trying to stop him from the hitting/kicking games he and his cousins play. I know he's a boy but I still would prefer he doesn't play that way.
Emmalyn loves drinking water and has been super hungry lately. I tried giving her a spoon to eat with but she was not too into it.
She is super talkative and carries on conversations with baby talk. She says momma, daddy, "ma ma" for maxwell, ball, baby, book, bow, milk, bird, puppy, more, thank you, more please, no, yeah, water, bee, and flower. She will sometimes use sign language for "more", "all done" and "eat".
She gives lips-closed kisses - yeah!
So now that I'm officially done pumping, the schedule is that I will usually nurse in the morning when she wakes up around 5:30 and maybe at night but she will ask for it all the time and has been reaching in Brittany's and Peter's shirt and asking for milk. (Funny to me!)
She gets a few bottles of regular milk a day but I feel like it's time to get her off the bottle. She can drinks the milk cold now.
She takes a binky when upset and sleeping. I'm dreading breaking her of that.
Emmalyn loves her brother and being around him. Sometimes, he will play with her and other times he gets annoyed. He now says "Emmalyn" instead of "Emmawen".
She's a climber and loves to sit by herself in chairs.
She's super happy most of the time unless she's hungry or tired.
Sometimes she will have 3 naps a day and sometimes 2.
She no longer will leave her bow on her head forever and we can't do a clip in her hair yet, not enough hair.
She loves to wear shoes.
Emmalyn is so happy to be outside.
She will play by herself for awhile which is a really nice place to finally get to.
In the morning, she tries to steal Max's bag of cereal whenever she can (even though she has her own). She will sometimes sit with him and watch him on the iPad.
I would say that her favorite toys are books - she loves the one that she can press buttons and it will say the numbers and say a sound with the number. The number "10" sings part of the ABCs and she will sing along with it. She also enjoys playing with her doll house.
Emmalyn is awesome at cleaning up and putting things back.
She listens pretty well to directions.
She loves to laugh and clap and will join in if anyone around her (or on the radio or tv) either laughs or claps.
She's great at mimicking sounds and words
Her right side molar came in and I had no idea it was even close to popping through!
Emmalyn had her 15 month check up. It was a few weeks past when she turned 15 months but better late than never!
Big girl at the doctor's office
Emmalyn's 15 month questionnaire
Clothes off and ready for the exam. Now mom just needs to keep her busy until the doctor comes in.
Emmalyn totally talked up her pediatrician and had a LONG conversation with him. She wasn't too happy about the exam but I held her on my lap through it and it was okay.
She got two shots and once I laid her down to get them she started freaking out. She quickly recovered though and even waved goodbye to the nurse as she left the room.
Here's Emmalyn's Stats:
Weight: 19 lbs 14 oz (25th percentile)
Height: 29 inches (5th percentile) - - woo big growth here!
Head: 17.8 in (34th percentile)
I thought it was interesting that Maxwell measured exactly 29 inches at his 15 month check up but Emmalyn weighs less than he did.
