Kaelia - 12-15 Months

At Kaelia's 15-month check-up, she measured 21.8 lbs., 29.5 inches tall, and had a head circumference of 17.7 inches. Her little body has been very busy with teeth lately! She got three new teeth in the last few months with more on the way.

Kaelia has also been working on her physical coordination. Now only did she learn to walk at 12.5 months, but she can now "jump" on command by bending her knees to move her body up and down. She especially likes to do this on a trampoline. And she has discovered a new form of dancing where she alternates lifting her feet and legs up and down. She has been pretty proud of herself with this move.

Just within the last couple of weeks, Kaelia's language has really started to take off. She is now saying two word sentences such as "hi mama." We are excited to see where this new development is headed and what words she will pick up next. Kaelia is very verbal for her age with well over 30 words in her spoken vocabulary.

Some of Kaelia's favorite activities over the last three months has been playing with blocks and reading books. She will often go off in to a room by herself to do one of these tasks. She will pull book and book off of her bookshelf and flip through each page. This can actually keep her entertained for quite some time. When we are playing in the kids' playroom, Kaelia will head straight toward her blocks shelves and pull all of the colored shapes off of a rod. Once she has finished, she will then put all of the shapes back on the rod. She goes through this process over and over.
