18 Months Old

01.12.2011

 
My little diva is 18 months old now.  She is so stinkin' cute and so much fun, too!  At her wellness appointment, she weighed 23 pounds, 14 ounces and measured 31.5 inches.  (In comparison, at 18 months Andrew weighed 30 pounds, 8 ounces and measured 33.5 inches.)

Megan was in a terrible mood at the doctor's office.  She cut six teeth in one week and has another that it really giving her a fit trying to break through.  I enjoyed the fact that she wanted some extra Mommy-love, but when it came time for shots...well, let's just say everyone knew it!

 
At 18 months, Megan...
  • climbs on everything and shows no fear.
  • has all but two of her baby teeth (six of which were cut this month alone!).
  • is finally starting to grow more hair.  I can even put it in bows - though she refuses to leave them in her hair very long.
  • has a spunky little personality and definitely wants things her way.
  • loves her brother.
  • hates to wear socks and shoes.
  • loves Barney and Friends (Yuck.).
  • says a lot of words and a few "sentences" - Mama, Daddy, Papaw, Nanny, book, ball, cup, no (her favorite word right now!), What's that? It's a .... (book, ball, etc.), bite-bites, night-night, puppy, kitty, and a few others.
  • is a great sleeper.
  • is a good eater.  The only things I've found she won't eat is cottage cheese - and who could blame her for that!?!
  • is beginning to travel better (she doesn't hate her car seat quite as much as she used to).
  • does a happy dance when her daddy comes home from work.
  • loves for people to talk to her on the phone, but rarely says anything back.
  • is stinkin' cute (did I say that already?).
  • loves to play in Andrew's room, which can be a real hazard sometimes.
  • loves, loves, loves to take baths.
  • runs most everywhere she goes.
  • is a real wiggle worm when it comes to changing her diaper.
  • has started unzipping her sleepers and unfastening her diaper (goody).
  • loves to be read to.
  • loves to play peep-eye.
  • argues with Andrew over the animals in the pastures on the way to church - Andrew says they're cows and Megan INSISTS they are puppies.
  • has a great little imagination.
  • points out babies in public.  She loves babies!
  • loves to wear hats - unless I want her to wear one.
  • enjoys playing by herself but is always up for a play date - especially Andrew and/or Daddy!
  • likes to dance.
  • doesn't like to be fed - she's too independent for that.
  • wants to ride her tricycle so bad but isn't quite tall enough yet.
  • is a happy little girl whom I love more and more everyday - if that's even possible!
