Mary's statistics are:
weight: 25 lbs. 5 oz. (80%)
height: 31 1/2 in. (75%) As I had previously thought about Ben, I have almost no confidence in this number assigned for her height. She had to lay down on the table, fought it the whole time, the nurse measured a number, looked at her chart, decided to measure again, and came up with a number 3/4 inches larger. And this is when one inch makes the difference between the 15th percentile and the 75th percentile!
Right around her 15 month milestone Mary started taking a few steps here and there. She is now up to several steps at a time, but has not started walking for her primary mode of transportation. Her balance needs some development still. And she is just a happy crawler, doesn't even seem to want to be a walker. Ben claps for her when she walks, he is excited that his playmate will be able to join in more fun soon.
However, Mary is a big climber! She always has been. I found her halfway up the recliner in the top picture here. I think she would have been able to continue up and climb up on the shelf if I hadn't stopped her.
The biggest and best news of all is that Mary's new anti-seizure medicine seems to be working. This is something that we and many others have been hoping and praying for - we now just hope that this is the answer for our little girl.

Glad she is seizure free. Better news than hearing she is beautiful and tall. Can't wait to play with those two over Christmas!
The seizures are gone and the happy mood is back.
