Taylee had her 15 month check-up today. She is a healthy girl, and she got a couple shots, as well as her flu shot. ;( The only major topic of discussion was our continued concern over her speech development. If, at 18 months, she still is not saying 3-5 meaningful words, the Dr wants us to pursue an additional avenue of speech therapy. (Besides Early Intervention). By meaningful words, she means saying mama and meaning me, or saying milk when she wants a drink, or hi when she sees someone. Currently she is saying a couple words, but it is basically just her babbling. She walks around saying no no, hi, and mama, but none of them at specific times or directed at specific things. They are just sounds she makes, with no more meaning than ga ga goo goo. Don't be confused though, she definitely knows how to communicate. She uses a series of grunts, whining, and pointing to tell us EXACTLY what she wants. Maybe I am enabling her by being TOO responsive to her needs? Anyways, she is doing well, and as always, Dr. Strasser likes to comment on how much personality she has. I take this as a compliment . . .
And the stats (for posterities sake)
Height: 30.4 inches - 49th %
Weight: 21 lbs 6.5 oz - 27th %
