15 months

I realize it's been a long time since my last post. I apologize. I usually blog during Gemma's naps, but now that she has gone to only 1 nap a day, I usually have to fit in most of my cleaning during that time.

Gemma had her 15 mo check up last week. She weighs 22.4 lbs, and is 30 inches tall . Good, average numbers all around. Her pediatrician is still amazed at her speaking abilities. He informed me that an "advanced" 15 month old is able to say 6 words. WHAT!? What does that make Gemma? A genius I suppose :) She's already putting 2-4 word sentences together.
Life is about to get crazy around here. We are starting potty training on Monday! I'm scared to death! I feel like I have no clue what to do or where to start. It seems a little early to me, but Gemma has been showing so many signs that she's ready so we're going to go ahead and give it a try.
We're also going to start the room switches. We are finishing off the "play room" in the basement and turning it into the guest bedroom, the current guest bedroom will become Gemma's "big girl" room, and the nursery will continue to be the nursery. The nursery won't need much done to it, but I do want it to be different so it's "new" for the baby. It's a little overwhelming to think of everything at once, but I'm excited. I love home projects like this.

Trying to get Gemma to make different faces.

Saying thanks to Aunt Pam for the super cute hat.

She likes to read outloud
