18 Month Check Up

Went to the Dr. yesterday for Bella's 18 month check up. I can't believe how well she is doing. She is 32.75" tall and 25.5lbs. That puts her in the 70% for height and 50% for weight. That's a long way from below the charts where she started.

She is a little behind in her walking for her actual age, but the Dr. says we have to remember that she was almost 3 months early. She is so close though. She can walk behind the dinosaur her grandpa gave her for Christmas using only one hand while backing up and turning when she hits obstacles. All she needs to do is decide that she wants to walk on her own. She has also stood up on her own in the middle of the floor a couple of times.

She has started to enjoy her bed. She may cry out for you to come get her when she wakes up, but then she just wants to play and giggle at you and drop her bunny so you will pick it up. It's a fight to actually take her out of her crib. Crazy! She is such a happy baby!

Cheesy Grin and Washing Hands

Too bad this child is so grumpy! :) She knows what the camera means and what the camera sound on the cell phone means as well. Washing her hands in the sink of her play kitchen.

Well, she's still not walking, but she is so close. She could walk on her own if she would just get brave enough. She only needs to hold on to one of our fingers to walk. She is no daredevil!
