McKayla 18 months

McKayla had her 18 month checkup today. She shot up to the 75% in height coming in at 32 inches, went up a little past 5% in weight at 20lbs. 5oz and stayed at 10% in head circumference. She did really well and the doctor said she was very impressed b/c most 18 month olds are screaming. She cried for a second after her one shot and then pointed to her band aid and said "ow", but she was fine after that. She was dancing around the room while we waited and waived to everyone who came in or left. He are a few more things I can think of at 18 months...

-She can climb up on big people chairs and climbs all over the sofa
-She looooves to play outside and if she falls she just jumps right back up
-She still loves to play with other kids
-She says more things like "more,ow,shoe,nose,eyes,ears,belly,milk,tree,baby
-She loves to point to people's bellys (and her own)
-She still loves almost all food and milk (including oysters...YUCK)
-She definitely likes to feed herself and loves sitting at her little table
-She loves to sit in her chair in her room and read
-She is a dancing queen...any time she hears music she grooves
-She wags her pointer finger and says "no,no,no"
-She talks on all her phones all the time...it's so funny too cause all of a sudden she'll start cracking up like someone on the phone told her something so hilarious
-She likes to put Daddy's shoes on for him
-She goes in Sadie's food bin, grabs a cup of food and pours it in Sadie's food bowl
-She loves to take a bath
-She buckles herself in her car seat (top buckle only)
-She helps us get her dressed and undressed (she likes to pick out her shoes)
-She mimics a monkey w/ sound and arm movements
-She's good at sharing (although we of course have our moments)
-She's teething like no other (I swear there's a new one coming in every day)

We love, love,love her and she makes us laugh all the time!
