18 Month Well Baby Visit

Today we headed to see Dr. Veronica for Amelia's 18 month well baby visit.  She did wonderfully and is a perfectly healthy little girl!  She didn't much care for getting her shots, but who can blame her. Alex talked a big talk about being strong and not crying for his flu shot.  He talked a real good game right up until the minute he got the shot!!  Poor guy, he tried to be brave.

Amelia's 18 Month Stats:

Height: 32 1/4" (72%)

Weight: 26 lbs (86%)

Head Circumference: 48 cm (89%)

Oh Dinkarita, you are such an amazing little girl.  You vocabulary has grown by leaps and bounds as of late. We really can't believe how much you are talking.  Our favorite word you say is 'octagon.'  It sounds so sweet!  You are starting to say your colors, letters, and numbers.  You know what a circle is, and love to point them out to us.  When I'm counting at Alex because he's in trouble, I say 'one' and you usually say 'two' before I can get it out.  Talk about trying not to laugh during a serious moment!

You have become quite obsessed with your baby doll, Pup, and Mickey Mouse.  You sleep with them all and have to drag them all downstairs in the morning.  It's a slumber party every night!  You still are a good sleeper, but occasionally put up a fight when it's time for bed.

You've started showing interest in what TV show you would like to watch.  You've even brought me the remote and said "Here you go.  Caillou or Barney or Elmo" (whichever show you want at the time).  You love suckers, but we've almost finally finished all of them from Halloween.  

You love your big brother and are always concerned with where he is at.  You normally want to be doing what ever he is doing, which sometimes bothers him.  You guys have really been dancing a lot together.  It really warms my heart when you get along and laugh together.

We Love You baby girl!!!
