Growing Girl

Well Nora is officially 18 months old!! She is just getting bigger by the day and learning lots of new things! We went in this past Friday for her 18 month check up and she is definately growing. She weighed in at 26.4 pounds and 34 inches long!!! She didn't gain to much weight but grew almost 3 inches! She is in the 77%ile for weight and the 97%ile for height. She did much better this time when we went for our visit. She did not cry and scream like the last visit. She actually laughed at the doctor, which was a first. Of course when she had to lay on the table and get measured or when he looked in her ears she cried, but right when he finished she stopped. Progress!!! She took her shots like a champ, one in each leg. The assistant put on flag band aids and as soon as she say those she stopped crying and wanted to take them off because she was trying to get them to stick to her body! Too funny. She is learning new words everyday and is trying to repeat everything you say. Guess
we better start watching what we say. She just chatters up a storm and some of the things she says I can understand and a lot of it I still don't understand. Her favorite phrase is up....peeasse! She can say around 20 words right now. We have also graduated from the high chair. She loves sitting in a booster seat. She got up from her nap on Sunday and it was time to eat lunch and I sat her in the seat and you would have thought I gave her the best gift in the world. She kept looking around as if to say look at me! She also is starting to eat more on her own and this day she got to eat her own yogurt for the first time. She was is hog heaven. Our girl is getting big and fast. Peter asked me the other day if I remember what life was like before Nora and it is starting to get fuzzy! I do have to say our lives are much bettter with her in it!
