Petite Little "Thang"

Dannika likes to sit in the kitchen with me while I cook.

I had to put my cooking tongs down for a second to take a few pictures cause she looked so darn cute!
Yes, those are skinny jeans.


On another note...
We had her 15 month well check yesterday...
31 1/2 inches
21 pounds and 1 oz

She is our petite little Miss Thang.

The doctor was worried because she STILL isn't walking yet, and he was SURE that she would be walking by 15 months.
SOOOO....He had us go do another X-Ray to check for developmental issues

and.

She is developmentally....just fine.

She's just taking her time learning to walk, so until she walks, Dr. Shannon wants to see her every month.

I'm ok with that though.
She is feeding herself with a fork and spoon now.
She says actual words
She can point to different body parts when you ask her to.
She's a smart baby :-)

Self Feeding

Dannika has recently become a "self feeder"...
She's not all that proficient at it yet, but at times, she refuses to let me feed her...
And while some mothers would consider it a blessing...
It's quite a curse when you're in a hurry and you just need to feed your baby!
Today, we had time, so I gave her a plate and her little fork and spoon and let her go at it.
She is still sitting at her high chair right now eating...
It's been an hour....

ay....

She's such a weirdo...definitely from her father

nom nom nom

And this is what happens when you take her plate and utensils away from her when she isn't done...

don't judge me...

she's been eating for an hour and 15 minutes!

Park Day

We decided to take Dannika to Pines Park in Dana Point.
It is an absolutely GORGEOUS day outside, and perfect weather to take some updated photos of Dannika.

She had an absolute blast!



Goin' down the slide with daddy

Daddy's bored...



Exhausted from the park

Never a Dull Moment



It was really quiet in the house, so I walked out to the living room to see Dannika gainfully employed with a diet A&W root beer can....
