Once upon a time Deja's 15 month check up got scheduled about 3 weeks early. Maybe that's normal? . . . Anyway, here are her 14.5 mo. stats! Weight: 22.44lbs (49%), Height: 30.75 inches (67%), Head: 17.9 inches (42%). Normal as can be :) Deja was all sorts of friendly with the Pediatrician and his Student Assistant, which actually made the doc. nervous because she wasn't showing any "stranger danger." I guess she was feeling more comfortable that day. It could have been because both John and I were there, or maybe because we were letting her explore the room so she could show off her walking skills. Overall it was a good visit, except for the shots of course :(
We had a good Thanksgiving. John actually has Thanksgiving and Christmas off this year, so we are lucky ducks!! We ate dinner with most of my siblings at my brother Joe's house. We missed Angi and Meri (and their families). We had a good time watching football, talking about future family vacations, and seeing all the nieces and nephews. Deja loved exploring and playing with her cousins, but wouldn't touch her sweet potatoes for anything. So weird, maybe they were too sweet for her, funny girl.
Deja and her cute cousin! It's hard to tell in this pic, but they both have the cutest curls in the back of their hair. So fun :)
We also spent some time with John's siblings! We got together on Thanksgiving evening and put up Grandpa's Tree. (He went out of town, so this was a big surprise for him to come home to.) We ate pie with them, even though I'm sure no one was hungry. The next day we had another Turkey Dinner at Kara and Brian's new house. They were so nice to invite us down and wouldn't even let us bring anything to contribute, little stinks.
Deja went all Vampire on this yogurt. I was letting her "play" with it, but apparently she was hungrier than I thought!
Deja's First Hair Cut!!
The left side of her hair was way longer than the right side, because she used to pull on her hair while falling asleep. We decided it was time to even it out a bit.
Before
After
Deja used to walk around the house all the time with her hands behind her back like this!! I tried so hard to get it on video, but it didn't happen. At least I have a picture of it.
She's also really into shoes.... Specifically John's haha
There was a day she insisted on wearing her winter coat and necklace around the house. I worried about her getting too hot, luckily it only lasted about 30 min.
The only other exciting thing that happened in November was John and I went to the dentist and were cavity free. Woot, yup we're awesome. Oh and did I mention we booked a cruise for January? I guess that's more exciting than the dentist... We'll be gone 4 days and it'll be the first time we're leaving Deja, so hopefully that goes well! PS anyone want to babysit, she's cute and has many skills, just take a look ;)
