Our petite flower

Ellie visited with our pediatrician today for her official 15-month check-up. She's measuring 24-8 lbs., 31.75 in., which is 71 and 81 percentile, respectively. But that's a full two pounds lighter than her brother at the same age, and basically the same height! We think she's a petite flower, even if we *are* comparing her to a moose. ;)

She was truly a champ, showing off her "extensive" vocabulary for the doc and sitting still for her three immunizations with only a few seconds of tears. We all celebrated with dinner at Chipotle afterward, and she kept up with her brother eating tacos. That's my girl.
