Ever, Ever After: 12-15 MONTHS

**I waited to post this update because it had some important information that was not yet released and then we got busy and now I am covering three months in one post, oops :)

Weight: According to the doctor's she is still right about 17 lbs and 2 ounces (still pretty close to that at 15 months since she is always moving!)

Height: She screamed the entire time at the doctor's so they measured her twice...she is about 28 inches (this is probably pretty close too, but maybe another inch?)

Nicknames: Mostly pumpkin and puppet (by daddy) (same!)

Eating: Well we got some unexpected news this month....in fact Sadie was the first one to get suspicious. She started acting really fussy while nursing and she even bit me a couple of times which is very unlike her. Well it turns out, she knew she was sharing her milk with her future sibling and she wasn't happy about it :) So per doctor's orders, we started weaning her quickly. It actually went much better than I thought it would, especially since I was not planning to wean her any time soon. Dropping the night feedings were toughest, but within just a few days, we were down to just one early morning feeding. That feeding is still going on, but hopefully we can get rid of that one soon. She has taken my frozen milk in her sippy cup like a champ so we haven't started actual milk yet, but my freezer stash is dwindling quickly. Now Sadie pretty much eats anything and everything you give her. So far she has had (this month in italics): avocado, sweet potato, green beans, squash, pears, carrots, cucumber, apple, bananas, nectarines, watermelon, blueberries, oatmeal, celery, peas, bell pepper, broccoli, chicken, brown rice, plums, mango, greek yogurt, figs, apricots, plumcots, artichoke, and a small taste of my banana slurpee on 7-11, pumpkin, toast, ground beef, string cheese, spaghetti noodles, steak, hmmm pretty much everything we eat now....and ummm this girl puts it away! She loves her food! (She eats so much! She gets picky occasionally, especially when she would rather have what is on your plate, but overall a great eater.)

Sleeping: Now that I am not nursing Sadie, she is sleeping all night long! What?!! Seriously! Every once in awhile she will have an off night and there were a couple of rough nights when she really wanted to nurse, but for the most part we have been living in dream land. She goes down at about 9pm, a little later than before, but she actually does much better now. She sleeps until about 5-7am and then she will nurse (hopefully soon this will be gone too!). She will usually go back to asleep until about 7:30 or 8am. Naps are still hit or miss, but now that we are sleeping at night, I don't even care :) (Sleep has been all over the place. She has gotten almost five teeth since her first birthday!! She also had two colds. She sleeps great most nights, just in our bed...)

Diapers/Clothes: Size 3 diapers. Clothing is mostly 9 month, with some 6 month mixed in. <-----same! (same!)

Social: Daddy went back to work and mommy got hit with morning sickness, so we haven't been on quite as many adventures lately. Sadie can now wave and clap though! She also took her first steps this month....to a boy of course! (see list below!)
