Jasmine will embark on a journey with Daddy. Papa will be going to the U.S to take care of some left over logistics related to our relocation. Mom and Jasmine will be accompaning him and we are so glad we are able to.
We went to Jasmines' 15 months appointment a while back, but did not update the website with the official news. At the checkup, Jasmine measured 31 inches and weights 20 pounds. According to the U.S growth chart, the measurements would place her in the 50th percentile in height and 20th percentile in weight. Though according to the Dutch chart, Jasmine was in the 20th percentile in height and 10th percentile in weight. Dutch babies are amazingly tall and heavy! The pediatrician also said that Jasmine talks a lot and she really liked what she was seeing... I guess that means Jasmine is doing very well for her age. At this point, she has no concerns for Mom and Dad to worry about.
With that said, Mom also needs to clarify that Jasmine's old outfit, such the one worn on her 5th month and 9th month anniversaries are of U.S. size 12-18 months. We are not suprised at how well she can fit into them now. So Jasmine, you are petite child, but not as much as Mom may have implied in earlier posts.
For current news, Jasmine invented a new word, "Bunnie-tje". A combination of English and Dutch words which means "little bunnie".
We look forward to our visits to the states. We hope Jasmine will do just as well on these flights as she did on the previous one and that she will love her stay in the U.S... And Aunt Jenny, congratulations on your promotion to a Navy E5 - Petty Officer.
Wishing you a wonderful Memorial Day celebration!
