Katelyn turned 15 months on the 5th, but we just went to her well check today. She did surprisingly well. In months past she normally would fuss anytime a nurse/doc was anywhere near her. This time she smiled, waved, & talked to them, I was nicely surprised! Here are her stats:
Height - 33" - 98% (First time she's been this high, surprisingly - I thought she would have been up in the 98th percentile from day 1...we've finally hit it, not surprising! :o)
Weight - 25lbs 8 oz - 86%
Head - 18 1/2" - 89%
We are thankful to have a happy healthy baby girl!
We were also happy to hear that her language skills seem to be developing well too. We have always thought she was a very "verbal" kid. Since day 1 she hasn't been afraid to tell us what she needs, that's for sure :o) The doc even said that she is one of the most talkative 15 month olds she's seen in awhile, but you never know if she was just telling us that to make us feel good! Just so I'll remember, here are a few of the words that she says really well...hi, bye bye, mommy, daddy, pappy, mimi, Kristen & Tina (her teachers), wa wa (water), cracker, baby, rock, moon, milk, duck, quack, kitty cat, hot, mana (banana), turtle, shoes, happy, cuuu (cute), hat, ball, cooking, up, chair...and she signs...thank you, please, eat, more, milk, water...some animal sounds....baaa baaa (sheep), roar (lion), ooo ooo ahh ahh (monkey), moo (cow), cocka (rooster), quack (duck), oooo (elephant). There are probably others, but that's all I can think of for now. We are loving this stage and just trying to enjoy everyday!
Beautiful flowers that Lindsay & Greg sent (we missed them this year)!

Cousins, sharing...awww! 
Our little Diva...the pic below she is "talking" on her cell phone!
Katelyn got really good at giving Drew his paci back to him whenever she found one lying around.

I had ANOTHER Thyroid surgery on Tuesday of this past week. We planned it so that we would have plenty of family here to help while I was at the hospital and at home recovering. Well, the outpatient procedure turned into basically Tuesday - Friday in the hospital. Yuck! I was released on Wednesday afternoon feeling great, went home and at 3 am woke up realizing that I could feel some swelling in my throat, scared of not being able to breathe if the swelling got worse we headed to the ER where they admitted me and gave me some drugs to reduce the swelling, but wouldn't let me go until Friday morning for observation. Overall, I think it was a blessing since I was pretty much forced to lay in bed and relax for another 24 hours. Anyways, I go back Tuesday to get my stitches out, so hopefully by that point I will start feeling back to normal a little bit. 
Costco....Look at that big girl shopping with Mimi! I have a feeling Katelyn is going to be a shopper. She loves to just walk around the store and touch everything. We just came from church, so we are all dressed up. Don't you love her outfit, sweet girl!
Reading with Mimi on her new table (early Christmas present from her Grammy & Pappy)! I thought about waiting to bring it out until Christmas, but then I realized she doesn't really "get" Christmas yet anyway, so we might as well enjoy it now! Thanks so much Poth's...she LOVES her table!!! Cant' wait for y'all to come watch her play on it in a few weeks!

Thanks again Mimi for your visit. We loved having you and miss you already! Only another week and a half and you'll be back for Thanksgiving! See you then!!
