15 months and counting

I swear Lori is too smart for her own good. She learns more every single day, so much so that it really scares me sometimes. She is picking up whole phrases now instead of just words, which means what exactly? That mommy and daddy really better be careful what they say around her! Last week while changing Lori's diaper i told her that she was stinky, she now goes around screaming "i stinky, i stinky!" which makes me die laughing no matter what. Another favorite phrase is "i did it!", i'm thinking she must be watching WAY too much "dora the explorer".

Speaking of cartoons, i had no idea that when i had a kid that i would pretty much only be watching kids programming. I wasn't going to let my kids watch tv, blah blah blah. That lasted all of 6 months, until my mom introduced Lori to PBS Sprout and like magic i finally had a few minutes in my day to be sane. Sure i felt bad for letting my baby watch tv, but it's not like i park her in front of it 24/7 as her babysitter. I go to sleep every night now with the sesame street theme song playing in my head and wake up to the thought of "kipper the dog" and "pajanimals". I really need to get out amongst adults more...

Lori had her 15 month checkup two weeks ago. She is thriving and growing like a weed. Weighing in at 17lbs and 31.5 inches, although how she weighs that much i have NO idea, she runs nonstop! This appointment was also our first really bad experience with a vaccine. She had a dose of the prevnar vaccine in her arm and it was swollen and red for well over a week, not only that but Lori was incredibly fussy. It was definitely not my favorite visit to the pediatrician's office. It's hard to believe that her next appointment will be at 18 months old, i can't believe my baby is already almost a year and a half. Time flies so quickly.
