Anna turned 18 months old this past Sunday. We went in for her well baby visit this morning and here's her stats:
Weight: 23 lbs. 5.4 oz. (35%)
Height: 30 3/4 in. (23%)
Head: 18 1/2 in. (63%)
The doctor said she is doing great. She said she's a little on the "chubby" side but I'm ok with that... she needed to pack on a few pounds. She's grown about 1 1/4 inches in height since her last visit at 15 months. She wasn't real thrilled about being at the doctor's office. I think she's starting to figure out that every time she goes there, she gets a shot. Here she is hiding in her daddy's legs.
Her appetite has been great and she's gotten a lot better at using a spoon and fork. She drinks out of a straw really good and apparently at daycare she practices drinking out of an open cup but I have yet to try this at home. Also, at daycare, she no longer uses her pacifier during naptime (another thing we have yet to try at home.)
The doctor said she is ahead of the curve when it comes to vocabulary. In other words, we have a genius on our hands (but we all knew that.) She's starting to put more words together and make a little more sense, but there are days when I don't have a clue as to what she's saying. The most exciting news I have to share... news I am so so so excited about... Anna has her first freckle! Two in fact! She has a freckle on the inside of her right arm and one on the front of her right shoulder. My Nanny used to call my freckles "Angel Kisses" and it looks like the angels are gonna love on Anna as much as they loved on me. :) Even though she may have gotten my freckle gene, she's still very much a Daddy's Girl! She will have nothing to do with me. All she wants is her daddy. It breaks my heart but one day she'll come around. :)
Happy 18 Month Birthday Pooter Poo's! We love you!
