Thursday, Siena had her 18-month check-up. How has it been 18 months? Time has really flown. She weighed in at 26 lbs (75%) and 32-3/4” long (70%). (She used to be in the 90% for both so I guess she's leveling out.) I have been concerned that her little potbelly was a sign that I needed to limit her food (the kid loves to eat), but the doctor said she was “perfect,” so that was a relief.
I realized I haven’t said much here lately about the babe developmentally. Perhaps because there is just so much to say. Everyday Hans and I are surprised by a new word or ability. She LOVES to put things in and then take them out of anything. Lately one of her favorite things to do is to take magnets off of the magnetic chalkboard wall in the dining room and bring them into the living room one by one and arrange them on a chair. Once the whole set is in the living room, she starts to take them back to the dining room. She gets an amazing amount of satisfaction out of this!
She has lots of single words: ma ma, da da, hi, bye, bird, fish, shoe, juice, eye, nose, teeth, book, cat, baby, truck, & duck. We do a lot of “did she just say ___?” When she wants something she points and reaches and says “me me me me me.” We’re trying to work on “me please” which seems a little more polite!
