Quinn is 15 months!

Quinnie turned 15 months on September 11th.  As that day was a big day for America, I put off my post.  So here we are!

Quinnie has started to stand up in the middle of the floor on her own.  She is cruisin' along furniture and getting into lots of trouble right now!  She loves getting into containers and cupboards and emptying them out; she loves to pull herself up on the tv stand and she has started to climb the stairs!

Her biggest struggle is still picking up food to eat.  Part of this I'm sure is our fault - we only got her to start eating table food by putting it in her mouth for her.  Tonight I worked on putting it in her fingers and directing her toward her mouth.  She did it pretty well - yet she still won't pick it up to put it in her mouth - she'll pick it up to throw it!  This is something we'll need to work on with her.

She really discovered the large puzzles lately and enjoys playing with the animals.  She still loves her music table and playing with her brother.  She has also gotten a lot of enjoyment out of kicking/hitting a balloon around the house and chasing it!

Weight:  18 lbs 9oz (I think I was off last month - I thought she'd be 19.5 lbs today) - below 5th percentile
Height:  29.5"  - 25th percentile
Head Circumference:  18.5" - 75th percentile (She needs a large princess tiara!)
