18 Months OLD!!!

Wow!! I havent done this kind of post in awhile but I figure it will be good to keep up with the milestone ages!! HAHA! We went to see Dr. Mathis last week and everything looked great with Vera Kate!! Two shots this time and guess what.... NO MORE SHOTS until she starts school!! WHOO HOO!!!!!! So glad to have those not so fun things over with!!! Actually Vera Kate cries more when Dr. Mathis examines her than with the shots!! But anyways, we love our little pediatrician!! While we were there we got baby brother registered in their system too!!! YAY!!

So here is what is new with our favorite 18 month old!!

Weight: 24.6 lbs (a little over 50th percentile)

Height: 31 inches (still in the 30th percentile:))

Diaper size: 4

Clothing size: 12-18 months

Shoe size: 4 or 5

Drinks milk and water in her sippy cup! She LOVES anything with a straw!

Eats whatever but favorite foods are Italian food, Mac-n-cheese, FRUIT, and she has started to love the idea of "dipping"! She loves to dip her food in ketchup, ranch, salsa, etc... pretty much any kind of dipping sauces!! She also LOVES applesauce. She will go to the pantry and say... applesauce!

Words: has a great vocabulary! Will pretty much repeat whatever we tell her too. She is a little parrot! We have to watch what we say! HA! Something really cute Vera Kate is doing... whenever you give her something she says THANKS! And also if you sneeze she says... BLESS YOU!

Vera Kate LOVES to play in her kitchen and play room! She will come and tap you and point to her play room! This means come play with me! We have LOTS of cooking parties! She also loves to have her music going while we are playing! The music has to always be on!! Sometimes we have a dance party here and there!!

Vera Kate loves to hold books and act like she is reading. She enjoys puzzles and has recently started to LOVE using her crayons and coloring books! Vera Kate has also developed a LOVE for stickers! Yes, friends these are a favorite! Stickers!!!!!

Vera Kate loves to sit on the couch. She will pat the couch and say couch and she also likes to pat the space beside her... that means you better sit down also! HA!

We like to say that Vera Kate has two speeds... going, going, going and asleep!!!

Vera Kate is still really easy going but has a little attitude also! She has a few faces and looks that could kill! She can give you quite a look when you are doing something she does not like! But on the other hand she has such a cute face when someone comes in a room or something happens. She does a little funny thing with her mouth. I need to get a picture! But this little girl does have a variety of expressions!!

I am not liking the discipline thing! But with her attitude sometimes we have to get a little stern! Oh dear!

Vera Kate still doesnt like the site of many men and she is very clinging and shy until she gets used to you!

Vera Kate really is a good baby and is happy most of the day! The time between about 4 and when daddy gets home is a little rough some days but we just make it!

Vera Kate really doesnt care much about TV but she does like Barney, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, and Super Why! Pretty much anything with music also!

Vera Kate LOVES to be outside! She loves a good ole afternoon wagon ride!! We are loving these cold days with a few warm ones in between! HA! However the warm days make me want to get out and plant some flowers! I am sure Feb is going to be rough and cold! I am sooo ready for spring!! Anyways, we have lots of fun things to be thankful for and to look forward too!!!

Life is definitely busy around this house... but in a good way!!!!
