On Thursday of this week, Allie turned 18 months old. It's so hard to believe! I can't believe that my "baby" is already a toddler! David and I took Allie to her pediatrician for her 18 month visit....and shots :-( While we were there, we learned what we already thought we knew....Allie is about 6 months ahead in her language development. Yes, she is quite a talker! When the doc asked me if she could say at least 10 words, I had to laugh. She asked me how many words Allie could say, and my response was "hundreds". Literally, I think the child can say a couple hundred words!
When it came to her measurements, Allie's length was 34 1/4 inches (95th percentile for an 18 month old, 50th percentile for a 2 year old), and her weight was 27 pounds, 2 ounces (~80th percentile for an 18 month old). So, she is quite tall for her age, as we already knew (I've already been buying her 24 month size clothes and they are getting short!), and her weight is just fine for her height.
And of course, Allie did not enjoy the shots, but these should be her last shots for another 6 months (unless I can manage to get her the H1N1 flu shot somewhere!). I think she has one more round of shots at her 2 year visit, and then no more until she is 4! Won't that be GREAT?!
Here's a cute video of Allie watching the BAMA vs LSU game a couple of weeks ago. Forgot to post it earlier....it's a cute one.
We had another big birthday in our house this week. Will was 3 months old on Wednesday. I just can't believe that he is already 3 months old. Trust me when I tell you that the last 3 months of pregnancy don't go by nearly as fast as the first 3 months of life! Will is such a doll. He smiles ALL the time. If he cries, he's either hungry or sleepy. If he is sleepy, just take him and lay him down and off to sleep he goes. He goes to bed each night at 6-6:30pm, takes a bottle at ~9:30pm, and then not another one until ~6:30am when he then goes back to sleep until ~8:30am. How lucky am I? We'll see if that trend continues tonight. Tonight is Will's first night sleeping in his crib in the nursery. I've put him in the crib for a few naps, and he certainly doesn't love it like the loves the Pack-n-Play in our bedroom. He actually cried for a few minutes during 2 of his 3 naps today, and he cried for about 10 minutes when I put him in the crib at night. I guess it will just take him a little while to learn to love it.....we'll see if I get any sleep at all tonight!
Will is also doing lots of "cooing" and laughing. I haven't managed to capture much of it on video yet, but this video will give you a little taste of his "voice".
Tonight, I think Will found his hands/arms for the first time. He was staring cross-eyed at the cars on his shirt right around his wrist. It's was so funny to see him try to focus on his hands and figure out what they are....FUN TIMES!
