18 Months...

Essie Claire you are 18 Months old! (a few days ago)

Here's what's going on with you:

• You weigh 22 pounds 13 ounces (25th percentile)  and are 33 inches long (85th percentile)! You have grown 2 inches in just 3 months! The Dr says you are tall and slim! You wear 18-24 months or 2Ts and size 4-5 shoes.  You are in size 4 diapers.
• You are a WILD, SPUNKY, SWEET lil one!
• You are all about conversations now.  You talk in short sentences such as "Hi Mama Hi Daddy!". You said your first 4 word sentence this weekend "Dats a BIG bite"! You can name every single Sesame Street Character...every last one of them.
• You are still obsessed with Elmo but also love the other Sesame characters as well.
• You are all about making choices: you choose your pjs everynight, pick out your sippie cup, and even choose whether you want milk or juice.
• You LOVE bathtime right now and want to stay in it as long as you can.  You love to pour water from cups and play with measuring cups in the tub!
• You love to eat eggs, dried cranberries, clementine oranges, and apples.  You are becoming more picky and know whether or not you like some foods.  You do NOT like chocolate milk or hot chocolate.
• You are obsessed with stickers...I keep some in my purse at all times to ward off those spur of the moment tantrums!
• We discovered that you do NOT like snow or the cold.
• Your newest favorite word is "ICK" and you use it all the time.  You point out freckles and moles on people and say "ick".  You point to trash and say "ick"! Even snow was "ick".
