Tayg's 15 month check-up

Taygen turned 15 months on June 5th. She had her 15 month well child check up on June 6th. She is 21 pounds 4 ounces, 50th percentile. Her height is 30 inches, 31 percentile. Her head is 17 7/8 inches, 25-50th percentile. She had to have 2 shots, they don't seem to be bothering her like her 12 month shots did (fingers crossed).

Words/Sentences : Daddy, see birdie, here you go, mamma, kiki, flowers, see flowers, eyes, tickle tickle.

Favorite things to do: Taygen loves to climb on the couch and sit and read, even if no one is sitting by her. She also loves to sit on the couch by any of us, she will sit there for about 5 minutes just cuddling next to one of us, whether it be the kids or mommy & daddy. She also loves to go to the front door ( I usually have it open during the day) and look outside and point and say "see" if there are birds in the yard she points and says "see birdie" or "see flowers." She kind of does what Keira did when she was little, she pokes me in the eye and says "eyes." She loves when I say, "Where's Taygen?" then she puts her hands over her eyes (like she's playing peek a boo). She loves to tickle. Yesterday she was walking around the house tickling her self saying, "tickle tickle." She loves playing with brother and sister. Her favorite thing to do with them is play hide N seek or tag. She also loves to put stuff inside something, like a bucket or basket and carry it around or just sit there and keep taking it out and putting it back in.

Favorite food: her favorite food is peanut butter & jelly sandwiches, macaroni & cheese, cheesy popcorn, peas, cheese, waffles.

Keira had a fever and a really bad headache the same day (Monday) as Taygen's Dr. appointment, so I just waited and let her Dr. see her at the same time as Taygen. At 11 that morning her fever was 103. The Dr. said her throat was rough and did a strep test but it came back negative and said she had something called Adenovirus. No medication or anything, she just said it will last 72 hours and it would work itself out. She is doing a lot better today. No fever and she is running around like her old self. I personally don't think it was any kind of virus, I think it was a migraine. She was laying around that day all day with a blanket over her head because the light hurt her eyes/head. She even laid on the Dr. table with the blanket over her head (yes, she had to have her blanky with us on a 100 degree day). Any movement and she started screaming because it would hurt her head.

Aden is growing up fast! He is such a big brother. Anything Taygen needs and Aden is right there. He was taking swimming lessons, it was a parent/child class, I have to swim with him for the first 3 weeks then he swims by himself. I broke my thumb 2 weeks ago playing volleyball, his first week of swimming was the week I went to the Dr. for my thumb. Two days later I tried swimming with him with my splint off and I couldn't do it, so I called and told them what happened and had to cancel his swimming lessons, they let me just credit it to another swimming lesson. He really doesn't need this class but he can't take any other swimming class until he is 3. He was also in a wiggles & giggles class at the Y, a music class for 2-4 year olds. It gives him an opportunity to be with other kids and lets him sit still and listen to his teacher (gets him ready for preschool).
