18-Month Check-up!!


I have not been too good at posting these days!! Things have been so crazy this summer. Lots and lots of things on the calendar!! The weekend of my birthday (June 15th), Jonathan took me to Natchez to celebrate my 30th. We stayed at Monmouth and toured several other homes. It was soooo relaxing and a lot of fun - except for my ankles and feet getting quite swollen!! The joys of pregnancy in the hot, HOT summer... C stayed with Mam-ma and Papa and went to Jackson to help Aunt Sarah's boyfriend, Ben, move.

This past week Jonathan and I took C to her 18-month check-up. OH MY. It sounded like an exorcism was being conducted in the exam room. She did NOT want to be touched. In fact, by the time she got her shot at the end of the appt (last one for a while - thank goodness), we couldn't tell a difference in the level of screams from before and after the shot! Luckily, our doc did warn us that this check-up is the worst. For some reason, he said 18-months is "that age" for resisting check-ups. Well, she definitely fit the norm then!! And her visit went great!! She passed!;) They asked several developmental questions, etc. She continues to be in excess of the 90th percentile in height and head size and has moved from the 40th to 50th percentile in weight from last check-up!! My sweet lovey is a big girl and I cannot believe how fast she is growing up!:(

Her latest obsessions --- coloring and stickers!! We have stickers EVERYWHERE... and you guessed it - crayon on the walls. 

These are a few pictures from the past week...


 She loves making this face!!!

Daddy was eating a snack with her... Why doesn't she get this happy when Mommy feeds her?! Oh, silly Daddy!! That is an almost demolished strawberry she's eating. She loves fruit!! Some of her faves - strawberries, blueberries and bananas!

Love these two pics!! Rascal!
