Molly's 15 month check up


Yesterday we took Molly to the doctor for what should have been her 12 month check up. It was rescheduled a couple of times and ended up being a 15 month check up instead. She is doing well, and growing a lot! She is 25 lbs 5 oz (I don't remember the % but in the 90s) and was 98% for her height (I didn't hear the actual measurement). I don't know why I'm always so forgetful when we're there, but I forgot to ask if those percentages were based on 12 month charts or 15 month charts. Molly is right on track with teeth, and walking, and is saying a few more than average words, if you are lucky enough to be around when she says them. Mostly she just says, "yeah!" She is learning some animal sounds and is quite the little climber. Molly is working on going from two naps a day to just one. She is starting to be a little bit more friendly with new people, and enjoys being silly. Molly is loving books and videos about animals, especially farm animals and pets. She is still very cuddly and loves her pacifiers and her Bobbi blanket. Elijah has a couple of special blankets, but he never carried them around with him or used them for comfort like Molly does. It is pretty cute, and useful to have something comforting to give her when she is upset, but I sure hope nothing happens to that blanket!

While we were in the exam room waiting for the doctor, Patrick measured Elijah too, just for fun. He was 41 inches tall and 39 pounds - the size of your average four year old, according to the doctor. According to this, that means he'll be about 6'6" at age 18.

  1. Way to grow, Miss Molly! :) And if Elijah does make it to 6'6" by the time he's 18, I guess he'll just fit right into with the rest of the Marshalls, huh? :) Your brothers have never been qualified as "short" if I remember correctly! :D It was great seeing you at homecoming, for the short few seconds it was. Hope you guys are doing well
