Greer - 15 Months

Greer turned 15 months old on April 7th, and she had her check up this morning. Everything went well, and she is a healthy little girl! She weighed in at 25 pounds: 70th percentile, and she is 32 inches tall: 95-100 percentile. She is cutting 4 teeth at the moment, and she is not loving that AT ALL. 

Every since little Miss turned a year old and started running around everywhere, she has become super independent and super, super strong willed. I'm like, where did my sweet, calm baby go?? She has to do everything that Knox does. She will shrug you off if she is playing full force and is MAD if you try to pick her up and take her away. She is absolutely a climber and I caught her up on my kitchen counter the other day trying to write on my chalkboard calendar. I am trying to consider myself very blessed and lucky for the year of calmness I had with her. Looking ahead, I'm not so sure that "calm" will be a word that describes her. Makes sense, though, considering who her mother is...

She eats and sleeps like a champ. I mean, champ. We put her down between 7 and 7:30, and will wake anywhere between 8 and and 8:30. I had to wake her the other day at 8:45 so that we could get moving. She goes down for her nap when Knox does, usually around 1:00, and wakes around 4:45-5:00. And yes, she literally goes back down a couple hours later for the night. I am a person that needs good sleep to function well, so I am so very thankful for her strong sleeping patterns. 

She seems to be growing in to quite the Daddy's girl. Of course, Lee loves that. She is a BIG dancer (praise the Lord! :)), and we sat and watched her straight up do some old school body rolls at Wawa's house yesterday. We we laughing so hard, and it was just pumping her up to keep doing it. I know they are young, but I really do feel like she and Knox have a special relationship. No, they are not perfect and they have their moments of not wanting to share, but for the most part they play very well together and get very sad when they have to leave each other. Oh how I pray that this would continue. I am not naive, and I very much remember fighting with my siblings, but we continue to pray for a a special bond between the 2 of them that would last a lifetime. As you can see, this child has minimal hair. I'm talking, I don't know if I will ever be able to put a bow in that baby's hair. She is staring to form a little curl mullet, and Lee is DYING. He wants me to cut it off so badly, but I just cant bring myself to do it. At this point, I can't imagine what she will look like when she actually gets some hair... I've gotten so use to kissing that baldie little head :). She laughs A LOT. Says "Cheeeeeeese" whenever you take her picture. Tries to shoot the basketball when Knox is playing. Loves being outside. Could care less about television, and loves any type of music. 

Days can definitely feel a little long, especially when Lee is traveling, but I am so happy and thankful for these 2 babies. I know that God is really teaching me so much about myself through parenting them, and it's so humbling. I can't imagine how much MORE humbling it will be in the future as they grow older. The Lord is really showing me daily that He alone is my rock and my strength, and I'm so so so glad that I don't have to rely on myself to muster up the strength to be a wife and mother!

Happy 15 months, sweet baby girl! We love you more than you will ever know.
