15 month appointment UPDATE
We had Ellery's 15 month well baby check this afternoon. Dr. S is really thrilled with Ellery - she said that she likes to see babies have about 4 words by now. . Ellery has double that and then some ;)
she's also already strung 2 words together. . .every morning she says "hi nana" to my mom and yesterday we heard her say "hi daddy" to John.
She's 25lbs 8oz and 32-something inches long!!! That's the 85th percentile for weight and the 96th for height/length - not really sure where those tall genes are coming from!!!
Dr. S said that she has great muscle tone and straight legs for a toddler and was pretty impressed with how well Ellery walked for her. . she said that not all toddlers can "pivot" as well as she can being a new walker and all. She said "how long has she been walking this well" John and I kinda looked at each other and said. . . .umm almost since she started walking. . . We had a week or two of the unsteady gait but then it was all systems go!! she also said that Ellery has very impressive fine motor skills for her age :)
All in all it was a good visit - we chatted about Ellery receiving the MMR shot - we're pushing it to 18months and I still haven't decided if she'll have it then. . we might wait till 2. She addressed my concern about Ellery's hips and her "toe in" (she has a slight turn in when she stands sometimes - i had to wear corrective shoes as a child so I wanted to ask about it). She said they wouldn't even consider orthopedics till she was about 3 IF it was a real problem at all.
We had to go upstairs to the lab for a blood draw - Ellery was SO brave and didn't cry at all - until they were putting the band aid on - delayed reaction!!! :)
I'll edit later with a pic from today :)
ETA: here's the promised pic from today:

Ellery you are such a smart little girl. I am so happy to hear the Dr thought you were doing great. I can't wait to see your new pictures. Olivia says Hi!!
