Now she will step on him and throw him across the room......while smiling!
Presley had her 18 month check up today. Chunky monkey!She is 31 inches tall which is the 68th percentile and 27.3 pounds which is the 86th percentile. She started out in 3% and has slowly made her way up to 86%. She grew about 2 inches and 2 pounds in 3 months! We got the ok to now switch her to skim milk since that is what we drink!
Our baby:
- loves to eat..... mostly fruits and veggies! Green beans, broccoli, strawberries and blueberries are some of her favorites! Don't get me wrong, she likes french toast sticks, pancakes, french fries and pizza too!
- loves to sleep! Most of the time she'll sleep 12 hours during the night and will take a 3 hour afternoon nap if we let her.
- has 9 teeth, 6 on top and 3 on bottom.
- usually wears 24 month to 2T clothes.
- talks a lot, but doesn't say much! Ma, Da, shoes, da (for dog and duck), more, uh (for up). Occasionally we can get Ha (for Holly) or Sa (for Sam). She is a one syllable kinda girl.
- will do sign language for more, bath and milk.
- loves eating with a fork, or taking bites out of big kid food. Bite size pieces insult her.
- loves being outside and playing in or with water! She could do it all day. She is even cooperative when putting on sunscreen!
- will give open mouth kisses. Aren't we lucky!
- will dance or head-bang to music (she doesn't quite understand what music you should head-bang to and what music is just for dancing). and likes to clap along when we watch Wheel of Fortune!
- is so close to climbing (a.k.a falling) out of her crib! And I'm really not ready to fight a toddler bed yet!
- is a pain in the butt to change her diaper! You would think she would just get used to it after all this time!
- is a Daddy's girl! Chooses to hang on him when he is around, if not then I qualify to be good enough for her :)
- loves books, and pushing around her baby doll stroller with a purse on her shoulder! That is the girly side of her. Then she'll climb on her Little People parking garage and throw balls at your head, the not-so-girly side!
One of our garage sale purchases. We realize this thing will only get used once in a while, so why would we buy a brand new one?
Presley Grace, you make us laugh! You love attention, running around babbling and waiting for a response from anyone and everyone! I love coming home to the pitter patter of your little feet running threw the kitchen knowing that Mama is home. That smile and cheesy grin make me want to kiss you and stick you in my pocket to have you with me all the time. (well, maybe not ALL the time!) Some day I hope you want to cuddle with us as much as we do with you, but we understand you are busy. There is too much to do, too much to see and not enough hours in the day to get up and down off the couch, our laps, the chairs and the toys.
We love you peanut!
Love, Mama and Dada
