18 Month Stats

Luci had her 18 month well-baby (toddler?) check-up yesterday and got a couple of shots + her flu shot. We should be good to go on her shots until Kindergarten now!! Yay!!! This was probably her worst visit at the pediatrician. I think she is remembering what happens there. She whined and carried on most of the visit, but started feeling better once she got a book out of the treasure chest! I can't believe how big our little baby girl is getting...time is sure flying by.

18 MONTHS:

Weight- 23lbs- 30th percentile
Height- 31 inches- 29th percentile

What she is doing:

Can point to her nose, eyes, ears, mouth/tongue, hair, fingers/hands, toes/hands, belly button. Her favorite is the belly button. After you ask her to point to a body part, she insists on touching yours and everyone elses in the room. We have learned to skip the belly button when other people are over otherwise she will go around trying to lift every one's shirts up to find their buttons! Lol!

Loves to sing and be sung to. Her favorite songs are Skinnamarinky Dinky Dink, This Little Light of Mine, The Itsy Bitsy Spider, & Head and Shoulders Knees and Toes. She loves to do the hand motions to all of the songs!

Is becoming attached to lovies...her favorites are Mr. Bear and baby dolls. She is recently loving her "Deer Dog" that we got at Branson. She must have a lovie to take with her to bed at night.

She loves to play outside! It is her absolute favorite thing to do!!!

She loves to "give love"...this includes kisses and hugs!!! It melts Mommy and Daddy's heart big time!!!

The temper tantrums have definitely made their apperance. We usually just ignore them and then address them if we absolutely have to. Hopefully this phase will pass quickly! Lol!

What she is eating:

Her favorite foods are MILK, cheese, pasta, english peas, carrots, chicken, ham, turkey, applesauce, bananas, and animal crackers.

She does not like eggs, any potato except a french fry, most fruit (strawberries, pears, peaches, etc), and water.

What she is saying:

Some of these words don't sound exactly how they are suppose to, but she is definitely attempting to say lots of things. If she can't say something that we ask her to, she usually just ends up mumbling some type of jibberish...it's usually pretty funny!!!

Momma, Dada, Yellow, blue, purple, circle, square, dog, cat, mine, NO, yah, night-night, stinky, please, thank you, PePaw, Nana (this is either for Nana or banana), and up. Again, some of these words don't sound exactly how they are supposed to...but we are working on it! She has more words she uses, but I just can't remember them all right now!

She can also respond with Rawr for a Lion, Ruff for a dog, and Moo for a cow. We are currently working on these right now!!

She currently has 11 teeth...more are on the way!!!

Whew!!! Can you tell she has been a busy girl!?!? This makes for a tired Mommy and Daddy!!! We wouldn't have it any other way! We love our little Luci so much!!!


I prayed for this child, and the Lord has granted me what I asked of Him.
