15 month stats

We had Jordyn's check up today. I wasn't thrilled about going to the doctor's again today (I have been there every week this month) but at least it wasn't for a sick visit. Unfortunately, my poor baby had to get shots too. She was not very happy. Here is where she is at today;
Weight: 22 lbs. 10 oz. (46%)
Height: 31 1/2 inches (82%)
So, she has pretty much switched stat percentages with her baby ones. She used to be in the high 90's for weight and low 30's for height. So, she must have had a good growth spurt here recently. I'm still wondering if the nurse measured her right though. She was wiggling all over the place and according to the doctor, she is measuring the same as a 20 month old which I find hard to believe. I have to roll up all of her 18 month pants and she still drags the bottoms of them. So, she either has very short legs or the nurse was wrong. I think I'm going to try to measure her myself and see if I get a different measurement when she's not so upset.Ü She is saying the words, mama, dada, duck, cheese, baby and a lot of her own little language. She now points to whatever she wants and demands that she gets it. She loves to color on paper but will eat the crayon if I'm not watching. Climbing is one her favorite pastimes right now and can entertain herself by climbing onto something so that she can climb up on the couch. She then gets down and repeats. She loves her big sister and copies her all the time. She is such a doll, has the cutest personality and we love to hear her giggle.
Oh, and did you hear the Duggar's named their 18th kid Jordyn!! They even spelled it the same. O-well....we had it first;)

Check up stats

I had to take J.J. to her 12 month doctor's appointment so I thought I would record some stats for her. She weighs 21 pounds 3 ounces and is in the 54% (a big drop from when she was younger). She hasn't gained much with all the walking and toddling around she is doing. She is 29 1/4 inches long and is in the 51% (which is an increase from the 30's) so she is growing!! She still seems short to me;) And finally her head size is 18 inches which is in the 80%. She's always had a big head from birth thoughÜ They put my poor baby through the ringer today. She got three shots plus a flu shot and they took blood from her toe to check her lead level (they just got a machine that tells them if they have been exposed to lead which is awesome and covered by insurance) Have I said how glad I am that I switched pediatricians!! Thanks Jen! Anyway, her lead level is fine and I was sent off with a whimpering, sore baby girl. But I took her to story time with her sister and Grandma and she was clapping and laughing away and then took a two and a half hour nap when we got home!!! It sure does suck taking a healthy baby in and taking a cranky, not feeling good baby home;(

Chicken cheese!!

We were invited to Chuck E. Cheese the other night for our niece's birthday and Makenna kept calling it chicken cheese!! We kept correcting her but she really never got it. So now he is known as chicken in our house! She had a blast at first going (or should I say running) from game to game and then eating pizza and cake. But then came Chuck E. (or chicken). She didn't see him at first but once she caught sight of him, she freaked. And I mean freaked!!! She ran across the table and threw herself into her grandma's arms while screaming at the top of her lungs!! It hurt my ears;) She literally shook until he left to go walk around somewhere else. Eventually, she calmed down but we were at the spot where they go in and out so he had to come back and the screaming and the shaking started all over again. At that point, she was done and started to ask to go home because she wanted to go night night. Now that girl had to be scared if she was asking to leave a fun place like that and go to BED!!! She still had fun until that point and the funny part was that chuck e. was a GIRL!! She came out after and apologized;)

Jordyn also turned 9 months on Wednesday and got another tooth that day!!! Her top left one came in and the one next to it looks like it's on it's way too. No wonder she has been so cranky!!! She also had her check up yesterday and has definitely gone into the stranger anxiety phase. She used to let him hold her and talk to her and yesterday, she just screamed her heart out with big, huge crocodile tears. It was so sad. And she had to get a shot that she missed at six months too so that didn't help. Poor girl. She is a solid 20 pounds, 6 ounces and in the 77%. She didn't gain much but I'm sure that is because she is crawling now. And she is 26 3/4 inches long which is in the 25%. So our J.J. is still a shorty but I love it!! I'm sure that is why her legs are so chunky (and chewable). Travis looked at both of our girls the other day and said that their thighs are the same size. I didn't believe it so I measured them and he was right!!! Kenna's is just slightly bigger but just about the same. I don't care. I wish my thighs looked so dang cute;)

*edited: Her right front tooth came in on 6/22
