15 months

Well, we had a rough start to Lila's 15 month birthday. After picking her up from Miss Ellie's on Tuesday she was not feeling well. I decided to go ahead and take her in to the Dr. on Wednesday. She was already scheduled for her 15 month check up on Thursday, so we just bumped it up a day. She was not running a fever so they still did her shots! :( We still got to have lunch with the girls and it was super fun! Lila was really quite, so I could tell she didn't feel well. She was still nosey though and checking everyone out at the restaurant. She did OK at the Dr. UNTIL the nurse opened up the drawer to pull out the head measurer thingy. I swear that girl KNOWS what they are about to do. Once again, the Dr. couldn't even listen to her heart because she was so hysterical! We finally made it out of there and home. She desperately needed a nap and did not want to take one when we got home. Then, at dinner time and she just burst into tears and was inconsolable until bedtime. I don't think I have heard her cry like that since she was a baby, or if ever. I think her tummy was just hurting very badly. It broke my heart. I hate to admit it, but I loved the fact that she not only wanted ME instead of daddy, but she just sat in my lap and let me read to her and layed her head on my shoulder and clung to me. I know she wasn't feeling well, but I will take whatever I can get! She is doing much better today. We had a lot of fun playing and just goofing off, which I feel like I haven't done with her in so long because I have either been busy or just too tired to make special time to just laugh and be silly with her. She did throw a few tantrums because she wanted to go back outside and play, EVEN in the RAIN! That girl is getting quick and just wants to run around in the yard and on our deck. I do love our deck, but the multiple levels make it very difficult to keep up with her because she has not mastered steps and she just goes, goes, goes! Here are some pictures of her on her 15th month Bday. It is getting really hard these days to get a cute picture of her face because she is quick to look away.
