18 Months!

I am two weeks late with this, as she was really 18 months on July 1st. I wanted to wait to go to her 18 month check up, which was today. I can NOT believe my sweet "baby" is already 18 months old. She has really come out of her shell in the last few months and gotten a funny little personality. Here are some stats:

* 24 lbs 10 oz - 50%

* 31 3/4 in.- 50%

* Still drinks toddler formula because she is lactose intolerant

* LOVES to sleep. She makes me laugh every time I lay her down for naps/bed. As soon she gets in her crib, she grabs her blanket giggles and waves me off.... "night,night"

* Talking like a mad dog. Every once in a while she will bust out a sentence like "I want a hot dog" or "I wanna go bye-bye". Her most commonly used words are probably:

-"Shoes"

-"Mine"

-"NO"

-"talk to" (when she get's a phone)

-"MOMMY"

-"Bye-Bye"

-"hot dog"

-"Bankie" (blanket)

-"Juice" (which actually sounds a little more like Deuce, but that's ok!)

*Walking very well, considering she had such a late start. She is running a bit, but still falls sometimes.

*Still only has 5 teeth

*Started taking a binky on our trip to Washington (last month)....I thought it was a good idea at the time since I was alone on the plane...haven't gotten it back since...

*LOVES to give Marlee "lovies" whenever she is sad or hurt.

* Is starting to get curls just like her sissy's

*NEVER sits down....why did I want her to walk again?

Over all she is still such a good baby. We have been seriously blessed. I can't wait to see what the next 18 months bring us with this one! I know we'll be busy!
