18 Months!!

Well this morning was the Abster's 18 month checkup! She did much better than last time....at first :-) We played in the house and waved at a everyone in the waiting room! We didn't even cry when they called our name! She was happy for the 15 minutes we waited...then it was time to get weighed! She got so upset because they tried to put her on the baby scale. (side note: the normal nurse wasn't there....she knows to put us on the big girl scale) So after 3 attempts to lay her down, I asked can we just do the stand up scale. But she replied that she wouldn't be able to do that...but hey its not my job right :-) Then we finally got her weight. But the way we got it was to weigh this almost 8 months preggo momma holding her kiddo then weigh me without the kiddo :-) Fun stuff!! Anyways, after that was over we went back into the room to get measured...again no fun! But we got it easier than the weight. Then she started to ask me all about what "he" was doing...to which i responded everytime, "yes, she is". Finally after 4 more "he" questions, I said "SHE" really loudly. Not that I care that someone calls my beautiful little girl a boy, but come on "his" name is Abby :-) haha! After we calmed down we got to visit with Dr. D! I must say that I love our pediatrician! First off, she is female and has kids! She has been there and done that, and gives me more info & advice than I would ever think to ask about! We did ask about our pacy...since we have become blankey & pacy psycho people around here! We got our flu shot and our 2nd to last shot until we are 5 years old! I know Abby will be very happy to know that :-)

Anyways, onto her stats:
weight : 22lbs (25%) I promise we do feed this kiddo! She is just very "active" (understatement)
height: 32 1/2 inches (75%)
head: 46 1/2 cm (50%)

Onto what she is doing at 18 months:
-TALKING TALKING TALKING - they asked me if she knew at least 3 words and used them regularly. Well this kiddo probablly knows about 50 words and uses about 20 regulary (give or take) Ex: I sneezed the other night at dinner, and she said "Xcuse me" haha!!
-She is eating all things (except ice cream) that are sweet, apples & bananas, "mickey" chicken, green beans, CHEESE, Cackers, squash, broccoli. This kid loves pancakes, waffles & "catch-it" ketchup!
-She loves to be outside! I am so glad the weather is cooling off, because it was too hot for big ole belly to be outside, but now it is much better! She says "side" or "out". She loves to go on car rides, or "beep beep" as she calls it.
-She loves animals - dogs, cats, cows, chickens, you name it and she loves it!
-She is an AUBURN girl! She loves Aubie, tigers and saying War Eagle, sounds more like weagle weagle :-)

All this brain can think of for now! Just happy & fat :-) Loving my little girl, belly & life! Only 7 more weeks until we meet our little brother!! OMG!!
