Elizabeth had her "fifteen" month checkup today.  She weighs 8.46kg and was measured at 75cm, although they were pretty sure the height was wrong since Elizabeth was very uncooperative.  We've measured her anywhere from about 78 to 85cm depending on how much she is wiggling...

 

I'm happy to report that the doctor didn't give me any flack for still breastfeeding, and eating issues aside Elizabeth is growing just fine.  She's basically returned to where she would have been at had her weight curve continued without the dreaded late winter / early spring vomitfest.  Happily we were even able to answer yes to all of the developmental questions they asked us.  Who knew that scribbling and stacking blocks are similar? Or that walking isn't on the list of important developmental milestones yet?

 

When it came time for the shots and we all assumed our positions Elizabeth was clearly apprehensive.  Some reassurance from Mommy and Daddy seemed to comfort her and a couple of stickers after the shots pretty much wiped away any remaining tears.  What a brave girl!

 

In the evening we headed over to visit Auntie Yukiko and company to celebrate her recent birthday.  The cousins had a tremendous time chasing each other around and shrieking.  Much "indoor voice please" was heard and forgotten seconds later.

 

We also took the opportunity to record birthday wishes for Uncle Mark who is currently living overseas.  We couldn't make him a cake but Erika drew him a beautiful one.  Mark, apparently your cake is vanilla with strawberry chunks and next time you visit Erika says she'll bake it for you.
