18 month check-in

I can't believe my little girl is already 18 months! She is becoming so independent... almost too much, but it is so fun to watch her learn new things every day.

 

Mollie's stats:
Height:32 1/4" (62 percentile)
Weight: 24.8 lbs (76 percentile)
Head: 19" (92 percentile)
Diaper: Size 4 (She is starting to show some interest in the potty, but we aren't quite there yet. She will tell me to change her diaper when it is dirty and will ask to go on the potty, but she hasn't figured out that you actually do something on there.)
Clothes: Mollie is currently wearing anything from 18months -2T clothes. She wears smaller shirts and bigger pants.
She is developing well and the doctor is proud of her progress. She was concerned when we talked about speech, but said that we can revisit that in 3 months after the tubes. She said she thinks that will really help with Mollie's pronunciation of words. I feel like it is a little bit better, but I don't know if that is just because I am understanding what she is saying more or if her words are sounding more like real words.

What she is doing:
Mollie is very vocal these days! She loves to talk, whether to herself or to anyone around. She loves to pick up a phone and act like she is talking on it. She also enjoys taking things out of baskets and putting them in other baskets, playing outside, and watching Sprout. Chica is her favorite! She has become very independent. She walks everywhere we go, and she will ask to hold your hand if she is unsure.

Mollie's favorites:
Food: Yogurt (She has become quite a picky eater in the past month. She used to eat everything, now she is very selective about what she wants and when she wants it.)
Drink: Milk (We are only offering her milk and water at this time. We will start to add some juice in very soon.)
Toys: Her kitchen from Christmas from her Gram! She will pretend on that thing all day long. She also loves cars. (She calls them Car -- Wee Wee)
Cuddle: She loves her blanket (Nigh Nee).
