Book Nerd

I might be jumping the gun a bit and it could backfire on me at some point in Sara's life, but for now, she is officially a book nerd.  In the last few weeks she's been really into her books.  I keep finding them in the most random places and everytime I look she's sitting and "reading" to herself.  She actually says things (not quite sure what that is, although every once in a while it's something I understand) out loud while she's pointing at the various pictures.  The other day she was doing the fish sign while saying "fis, fis" and sure enough when I went to look at what she was "reading" there was a fish.  Too cool!  If she's anything like me, she'll love reading when she's a kid and then never read once she goes to college (unless it's a blog or FaceBook :-). 

I took her to her 15 month check-up (only a month late) on Friday.  She is growing like a weed.  I think she's taking after her dad because the girl is TALL!  I never would have thought that I'd have a tall daughter.  I know it doesn't necessarily mean that she'll end up being tall but for now she's tall.  75th percentile for height (31.5") and 50-75% for weight (23 lbs 14 oz) no wonder I feel like I'm getting stronger! She had to get three shots this time which didn't go over too well but she quickly calmed down once the needles were gone.  I still can't get over how HUGE those things are.  Her poor little thigh is so red and swollen. It looked like there was a golf ball in there yesterday and today. You can actually kind of see it in this picture, doing her favorite pasttime. Today she thought it was hysterical when Ryan told her to squirt mommy in the head.  Knowing her body parts has started to become a detriment when her dad's around :-)

In other news, Ryan and I went out for my birthday on Tuesday night to Roys.  He surprised me and had our awesome neighbors come over after we put Sara to sleep and we went out for dinner. It was yummy! Here are two pics that we had taken.
