At fifteen months you weigh in at 22 lbs and 9 ounces and measure 31 inches tall (although I think you may be slightly taller since you were very squirmy when the nurse was marking your ‘top’ and ‘bottom.’)

I also realize that I have been Slacker Mom Extraordinaire; somehow the last 6 months have flown by and I haven’t done my monthly writings to keep track of your crazed monkey happenings. (However, your father has also slacked some and the picture of you at the top of this page is now a year old — come on, Jesus! Gets ta crackin’!) You have managed to survive your first birthday and are keeping us busy with locking things down or out of your reach. I know it’s only a matter of time before I turn around to see you grabbing my car keys and driving off to take over the world. I’m hoping that you at least wait until you’re out of diapers before you attempt that feat.
