Good news to report on Leila. This morning was her 15-month check up. She gained 2 pounds in 6 weeks! This is good news for us. She is on a high-fat, high-calorie diet and it is slowly working. (I should note we only give her good fats, with the occasional dessert snuck in--girl loves her fig newtons!)
Other news to report is that the princess is cutting her eye teeth--all four of them at once! Ouch! (Teeth #13-16) And she received routine immunizations today, as well as her 2nd flu shot and 1st H1N1 shot. I recently read about a new GlaxoSmithKline study that reported giving children Tylenol before or after vaccines can lessen the effectiveness of the vaccine. So it was pretty much an all-around miserable day. The time change did not help her mood either, she is still off.

One thing she really started doing at 14 months but is worth mentioning is she knows where to go to follow directions. She will go to her room, the kitchen, outside, our room, etc. if I tell her too. She will also find her shoes, her paci, or her "love" when asked, which is very helpful because sometimes I don't know where those items are. Not that she does it all the time, but sometimes is better than never... I'll take what I can get from a toddler.
