Jada's 15 Month Update

Miss Jada Bear is already 15 months old. She weighs 25 lbs. 3.5 oz (75th percentile) and is 32 inches tall (90th percentile). She is a running, climbing, talking machine. Her favorite activities include learning new words, playing outside, swinging, smelling flowers, reading books, chasing after doggies and kitties, and tackling Daddy.

Gabe has this old, stuffed Hulk Hogan from when he was a kid (Yes, Gabe was a genuine Hulkamaniac). Hulk now hangs out on Jada's chair. She'll commonly pull him off of the chair (meanwhile shouting, "Hulk! Hulk!"), throws him on the ground, then tackles him. Yes, she actually wrestles this stuffed, former WWF fighter, after which, she gives him kisses. Ha ha. It's absolutely hilarious.





She loves reading stories that have animal pictures. She calls monkeys "Ooo ooo, aah, ahh", and makes a funny snorting noise when she sees pigs. She can identify fish, sheep, ducks, kitties, birdies (there's even a picture of a bird on our "Crane" brand toilet that she points out), and all sorts of animals. We are so blessed to live about 20 minutes away from the Oregon Zoo; we just bought an annual membership & I'm so excited to bring her there throughout the summer so that she can continue to see her favorite animals.

Gabe and I are incredibly thankful to be her parents; she is such a blessing to us.

Here are some fun videos of her saying a few of her new favorite words - outside, happy, fish, & Jada. :-)
