Magdalyn 15 months

Magdalyn has grown up so much these past couple months! It's like she just decided one day she was ready to stop being a baby. Bring on the big girl stuff! She walks like a pro now. It took her awhile to gain confidence, but right around 14 months, she just decided to go for it, and has been cruising ever since. She has got so many teeth now, even a couple molars, she can eat just about anything. And does! If someone is eating something, she wants to try it! She will try anything and everything we put in front of her. But her favorite food is still fruit. I have yet to find a fruit she doesn't like.

Magdalyn is talking a bunch now too. She loves to repeat words and try new ones out. When she is learning a new word, she tends to whisper, like she wants to make sure she's saying it right before speaking out loud. Some of her favorite activities are playing in the water (bath or pool, doesn't matter), riding her big sister's bike, playing outside, swinging, going on slides, climbing, pushing things around (cars, chairs, strollers, etc.), and her favorite toys are balls and cars. She also loves stuffed animals. She will hug and hug them. It's so cute! She also loves to read lately. She will bring me a book and climb up on my lap. She can do this forever! Just one book after another. She loves it, just like her sister. We do a lot of reading at our house!

Magdalyn does not like being left out of things! She wants to be doing everything her big sister is doing all the time. If she is too small, she gets really frustrated and throws herself on the ground. She gets very upset each week when she can't participate in Kalianna's tumbling class. But she does get to play in the gym every week when we go to free play and she LOVES it! She gets so excited every time we arrive and she has gotten really good at climbing and doing things on her own. She is more brave than many of the 2 & 3 year olds we see at the gym.

Magdalyn is a little more shy and timid than Kalianna is. She can be very reserved. A lot of people comment all the time on how chill she is. Especially when we're around a lot of other people, she is a very quiet observer. She is perfectly content to just sit back and hang out. But when we're at home, she's always on the go! She also remains my happy-go-lucky little girl. She can be quite dramatic at times, but most of the time she is all smiles.

Magdalyn is so smart! She picks up on things and learns new words and skills very quickly! She is so fun, I just love watching the little girl she is becoming!

At her 15 month appointment, she weighed 22 pounds (36%) and she was 31 inches tall (71%). Both my girls remain long and lean!
