Ohhhh Toddlers... !

Never a dull moment with a toddler around.... NEVER!

So yesterday I was about ready to walk out the door, but I had to put our dogs upstairs.  I locked the baby gate so Karley would have her toys and not follow me up the stairs.  I put the dogs away, I start walking down the stairs and see that Karley had grabbed my soda can and was trying to drink from it.  Of course, she completely drenched herself.... like she was dripping with liquid.  I said "KARLEY!" and she looked at me all innocent with the can still in her hands and turned sideways and said "YUMMMM!"  Ugh.  It wasn't funny at the moment, but I couldn't quit giggling about it all day yesterday.  I wish I could have gotten a picture of her standing there like that.  Better yet, a video.  It was too funny!

She had her 15 month follow up yesterday.  She's 20 lbs, 13 oz (20th percentile for weight) and 32 inches long (90th percentile for height).  She's so tall and lanky.  She's got the waist of a 12 month old, but she's almost as tall as a 2 year old.  Finding pants for this kid is impossible.  Usually 18 months will work as long as it has elastic all the way around the waist band.  The Children's Place also has pants that work really well for her too.  She also apparently has allergies.  The last week she has been coughing really bad only at night.  Like so bad that no one has gotten any sleep from it.  I told her doctor and she told me that even though she doesn't like to give medicine, it sounds like Karley needed it, and recommended Zyrtec.  I gave her some last night and like magic, no coughing.  She's following my path in the allergy world, unfortunately.  I was expecting it but praying she wouldn't have to go through it.  They don't do allergy testing until 2 years old usually though, so I have no idea to what she is allergic too.  Other than the allergy issue, she said Karley is doing awesome and growing well.  No worries - so YAY!

This morning Karley figured out how to open doors with door knobs, which really sucks because we have a little half sized closet in our living room that we use as extra storage, but it's the perfect height for her.  Guess we'll be making a trip later to get more baby proofing supplies!
