16 months!


Stats:
According to our home measurement it looks like Kylie is 30.5" tall (40th %) and is about 25lb (74th %).   It appears she's growing out this month so I expect a growth spurt soon.  She's moved into a size four diaper this month, wears size 4 shoes and is wearing 18 month clothes.  


**Correction: We went to the doctor today (9/30) and her official height is 31.5" (70th%) and weight is 24.44lb (67th%).  Apparently our home scale weighs heavy and her wiggling put our measuring of her height way off...

Food:
She's still nursing 3 times a day (7am, noon 5:30pm).  After getting advice at her 15 month appointment to phase out the bottle of pumped milk at 7:45pm we're down to a 2 ounce bottle at bedtime and will probably be done with this in a few weeks.  She eats regular food like a champ and eats what we prepare for ourselves.  Our one struggle is that she doesn't want anything to do with cow milk and we're not sure what to do about that.  Suggestions?

Skills:
It seems like yesterday she started walking, and in fact it was just last month, but now she's running.  She doesn't always look where she's going so we've had some bumps and bruises this month but nothing serious.  She's also started to dance recently, so cute!  Along with the increased mobility she also is saying more words all the time.  It almost seems like there's a new word every day.  They include mama, dada, dog, duck, cow, hi, bye-bye, done, toes, nose, knee, eye, ear, elbow, milk, purple, bubbles, uh-oh, down, baby, no, yes, Charlie (her favorite friend at daycare) and a few more I'm probably forgetting.

Sleep:

She's sleeping from 8:00pm to 7am at night and goes down for an afternoon nap at 12:30 or 1 and sleeps until between 2:30 and 3:30 in the afternoon. For the most part she is a champion sleeper and we only see interruptions when teething or sick.  Speaking of sick, she is on cold #21 now *boo, hiss*

This is the pose she took when I asked her to stay still for a picture *lol*

  1. Getting so big!!

    From what i've read so far since shes still breastfeeding 3X a day you probably don't need to worry a ton about cows milk. Now i'm not sure how long you plan on breastfeeding, but i think if you're incorporating other full fat dairy products into her diet she should be okay. Does she like yogurt and cheese? I know that we haven't really tried to get Eirik to drink milk since he's still breastfeeding 2 - 3 times a day but he eats a lot of cheese and whole milk yogurt so there hasn't been any concern!

    Another thought is trying soy milk instead! You can get the unsweetened regular soy which still has a lot of fat in it!
