Climber

Ava is a climber. She can now climb on the piano bench, bar stools, into her high chair, and the back of the couch. I don't think Eli was this much of a climber. Her face in the picture of her on the piano bench is pretty great. I'm sure she won't think so when she's older, but kaelub and I got a good laugh at it. She still has just 4 teeth, and lately doesn't want to eat anything in her high chair. (I guess now that she can climb into it by herself she thinks it's a toy.) So I'm going to get out the booster seat and try that tonight. I can't believe she's moving past the high chair stage! We took her for her 15 month check-up, and she is in the 90% for height, and 30% for weight. No surprise there. The Dr. was very impressed by her vocabulary: hi, bye-bye, mommy, daddy, shoes, night-night, Eli (her own version), cracker, water, banana, bread, milk, puppy, bunny, piggy, (can you tell what stuffed animals we have?), and chair. She knows where her eyes, nose, mouth, belly button, toes, and hair are. She really loves to poke us all in the eyes and belly button when we ask her to find them! She and Eli are really getting to be good playmates. But Eli still has a lot of not-so-nice moments with her. Hopefully he grows out of those soon. The other picture is one I took of Eli's puppy & Elmo, after he put them down for naps in the kitchen. He even went up to his room to get blankets for them. So sweet!
