Carleigh had her 15 month check up today. She weighs 25 lbs which is 89%ile; she is 32 inches long which 87%ile and her head circumference is 19 which is 97%ile. So, more or less, we have yet another big baby. It has not been a good month for her sleeping because of her ears and even since she has been on the anti biotic she is still waking up at night. But her ears look good this time, so it may just be that she is teething now. When she wakes up at night, we try to give her a paci & she shakes her head or hits it out of our hands. She has a slight temper. lol. She eventually goes back to sleep but not without a huge fuss which in turn wakes Jillian up, but I'll get to her later. Carleigh is doing well walking and making us laugh. The other night at dinner, she kept sticking the fork on her head, taking her hands off of it & then laughing hysterically because it was staying. It made me laugh, so Chris had to keep telling me under his breath to stop laughing because that is why she continued to do it, but I couldn't control myself. it was so funny. She is a stinker & keeps us on our toes.
Jillian is keeping us on our toes also, but she has been a very good girl at home & school. She went to see Happy Feet with Papaw this Saturday. She was so excited & said she had a great time. She ate most of papaw's popcorn, all of her gummy worms & most of his Sprite. LOL. And she said her belly hurt.....wonder why. Bob said on the way there he had his turn signal on & Jillian asked what the noise was she heard. When Bob told her what it was & maybe that they were turnning left (I missed that part of the story) Jillian told him that the movie theatre was farther up. And Bob said "And by God she was right". lol. That still cracks me up. And I think I overheard him say that she kind of directed him back to our house too. If Carleigh doesn't wake her up, then she is having bad dreams according to her. When we ask what it was about she says she doesn't want to talk about it because she will get scared again. But I'm begining to think she is pulling my leg because she knows I won't turn her away if she has had a bad dream. I had to try to tell her the story of "The Boy Who Cried Wolf" tonight. We will see what happens.
We are looking forward to Thanksgiving. We are going to Brooke & Steve's again this year. Mom & Granny are going to visit my Aunt Sally & the rest of the family in Red Bud for Thanksgiving. Ellen and I are going to try our hand at shopping on Thursday since we only go to Target and Walmart anyway. I'm going to crash at her house that night & am looking forward to it so much since this month, as I said before, has sucked when it comes to sleeping this month!! I love the holidays!!
