Gracie is 15 Months Old!

Gracie had her 15 month appointment with Dr. Olivieri today, and she has grown A LOT in the past 3 months!  When we went to her 12 month appointment, Gracie was on the short side - below the 50th percentile which was weird to me since almost everyone in both of our families (except Nanny:) is tall.  Gracie shot right up the past few months and is now 31 inches tall (70%)!  She is 23.6 lbs and still has a big old head!  Gracie is such a tough cookie - not even shedding one tear while getting her shot!

Not only has Gracie grown a lot in size, but she's got a BIG personality for such a little girl!  She is talking so much, and her favorite word is "dada" - go figure :)  She loves him so much, and has even made up a little song about him that she sings when he comes home from work.  She also still loves to "talk" on the phone, and gets excited whenever she hears a phone ring. 

Gracie loves, loves, loves shoes.  It is so scary that at such a young age, I cannot even walk by a shoe department without her throwing a fit.  She especially loves the shoe department in Nordstrom (who doesn't?!) - and has already talked her Daddy into buying her a least one pair of shoes there. 

But as much as she is a girly girl, she can certainly hang with the guys and hold her own.  She doesn't let anyone push her around (especially Matty).  And she rarely cries when she falls - she just jumps right up and keeping moving.  She still loves to play with Matty's trucks and has now started to like his workbench and tools.  Matty calls her a "working girl."

Gracie still loves to sleep (yay!), and she is still LOUD as anything.  In fact, I think she is getting louder by the day.  We are definitely going to have to start working on her inside voice soon :) 

Today the doctor said that Gracie looked so much like a little girl and less like a baby.  I have been thinking that exact same thing lately.  It makes me a little sad, but so excited for everything to come!  We love her so much!

Look at her long legs!

Gracie and Brady are the best of friends.  Their friendship is really centered around food.  Brady loves to eat, and Gracie loves to throw food - so it was meant to be.
