The McGuire Family: 15 months!

Laynie you are 15-months-old and I cannot believe it! I was watching you sleep last night and you look like such a big girl in your crib! You are still a great eater and love a variety of vegetables and other foods! Your favorite vegetable is spinach and you will eat it right of the can. Your favorite fruit is strawberries. Tonight you ate roasted broccoli, roasted red potatoes, spinach, and lemon pepper grilled pork chops (for lunch you had shrimp et tu fe)! I don't know too many girls your age that eat like that! You go to bed around 7:15-7:30 and usually are up by 8:30 but if you are in bed later than normal you have been known to sleep till 11:00 on more than one occasion! You are talking more and more each day. Some of your favorite things to say are mama, what's that, Joe, and ball. You let us know what you want by pointing, grunting, and unfortunately lots of time just plain fit throwing. You definitely have your own little opinions and know what you want. The other day at Kroger I put you in a regular buggy. You spotted the blue ones that have the steering wheel and couldn't believe I didn't pick that one! It was quite funny so today when we went of course you got to ride in the special more exciting buggy! Separation anxiety is back again and when we drive up to church you start whimpering and cry when I leave you. Your teachers say you don't cry for long though! Aunt Magan babysits you on the two days I work and if you are up when I leave in the mornings you cry and cry and cry. You do fine if you wake up to me gone. The other night we saw her at Target and you started bawling. Anytime she comes over to visit you cry too until you figure out I am not leaving. Tara and Robby were your extended session teachers last Sunday and when they came over for dinner Friday night you tuned it up when they walked in the door...I thought that was pretty smart for you to remember them! Such a good memory you have! You are super friendly and when we are out people always stop and let me know how adorable you are! We had your check-up last week and you were 21 lb (21%), 31 in (68%), and your head was 18 1/4 (64%). These are some pictures I took of you today while you were playing in your room. You are such a little busy bee and would go from one thing to the next!
