Doctor, doctor...

18 months and awesome. That's me.



Tuesday was my 18 month appointment. I'm 33.5 inches long (95th percentile), 26 pounds, 5 ounces (90th percentile) and my head is 19.5 inches (98th percentile). The doc said I was SMART SMART SMART, due to the fact that I wouldn't stop babbling. (Apparently, stringing words together is a big deal. Who knew? Not mom.) Quite the improvement from last time, when I screamed the duration of the doc's visit.



Mom thinks that was partially due to the inclusion of constant companion, baby doll "Haddie," who was administered each treatment as well. She even got her finger pricked and a flu booster!

Off the chart updates? Besides the fact I love Haddie? I am also a big fan of skyping with Papa and Baba, so their excursion to Belize and Guatemala has been a bit hard on me. I love to sit on the counter and watch mom cook. I play independently for 30-45 minute stretches, mostly putting Hattie, Maizey (the mouse), Ba (the sheep) and Boy (fisher price little person) "night night" - covering them with a blanket, or dish towel procured from the drawer, and pulling it off while pronouncing "Good Morning!", reading my books or playing "choo choo." I also like to demand chocolate milk and cookies ("taushey milsh" and "tooties"). And, since Dad took me to the Milford girl's basketball game last weekend, I also demand "pony" - hence the sprout on the top of my head. My crib is full of stuffed animals. Since January 8th's "Bubble Bath Day" experience, I love taking baths, while requesting "bubbus pease." Last weekend I got my first set of big girl underpants, which I love to wear around my neck.




Basically, like I said, I'm awesome.
