How often does that happen??
The new munchkin is cookin away! I've been feeling the kicks since about 14 weeks {much earlier than Reese} and I'm ready for other people to start feeling them too! There's not much new to report....until October 25th...the day of the big reveal!!
Now, onto my 18-month-old going on 18-year-old.
She's all over the place. Speaking in sentences. Running around in big girl shoes. She's a mess!
She's got some pretty cute phrases that she's picked up over the last few weeks:
I'llllllllllllllllllllll do it!
Hold you, mommy {when she wants to be picked up}
Are yous? {where are you}
Hug {she walks up sideways to you and puts her cheek against you!}
Der he/she is!
Booooog {bug}: whenever she sees a black speck that may or may not be a bug!
Uh oh spaghetti-o!
She can also identify most body parts: eyes, nose, mouth, tongue, teeth, hair, head, face, arms, hands, fingers {neeners}, belly, booty, legs, feet, and toes.
When she wants something and can't reach it, she says "REACH!" or "have it peas"
That cold I mentioned last time, well that turned into strep throat. Really though, you wouldn't have known it because she didn't act at all like she did last time she had strep!
Have I mentioned she's a creature of habit? Like, hardcore. She has a memory like you would not believe and you can't get anything by her or distract her once she sees something she wants. And what does she normally want?? Peepaste AKA toothpaste. I'm not sure why the "tooth" part was replaced with "pee" but I hear the word many, many times a day.
She knows exactly where certain pages are in books and wants to read those pages. She's a puzzle master and is obsessed with the "eepane" {airplane} puzzle.
Her newest accomplishment? She can count to 10! I'm not sure she could count out 10 objects, but she can say all the numbers 1 through 10 in order.
We are working on colors but so far everything is blue or orange {can't say I object to that!} and occasionally pink!
We had her 18-month-appointment yesterday and here are her stats:
weight: 26.6 pounds {50-75%}
length: 32 inches {50%}
head circumference: 45.5 cms {50%}
Who would have thought that a short 18 months ago, her weight, length, and head circumference were less that 1% {not even on the charts!}
What a big, growing girl!
