18 Months Old

Kylie turned 18 months old on 1/1/2011. Where has the time gone? It seems like just yesterday we were bringing her home from the hospital. The past year and a half has flown by. Not sure of her exact height or weight, but we will find out this next Friday at her 18 month checkup.

All about Kylie at 18 months:

• Wears size 3 diapers, size 4 shoes, 18 month bottoms (a little big in the waist, but fit lengthwise), and anywhere from 6 to 18 month tops. She is tall, but tiny.
• Favorite Foods: cheese, applesauce, bananas, Vanilla Wafers, Macaroni and Cheese, and anything off anyone else's plate
• Drinks from a sippy cup (no bottle since she was a year old...she went cold turkey from the bottle and never looked back)
• She has a mouth full of teeth ( I lost count after nine)
• Walking like a pro (most of the time)...practically running
• Words she says: MaMa, DaDa, RyRy (for her uncle), PaPa, nanna (banana), byebye, go, pup pup (for any size dog), ball, car, manman (snowman), ba (blanket), shsh (shoes/socks), Nenna (Jenna, her godmother), rockrock (when she wants to rock in the our recliner) MeMe (not sure if she is saying that refering to herself or my Aunt Stephanie who is called MeMe by her grandkids). We are still working on YaYa :):)
• Can point to the right object (animal, car, cupckakes, shoes, etc) in her picture books when you ask her where it is in the book
• Says "Nanna" and points to the produce section anytime we go in Wal-Mart or HEB
• Signs for "more" and is learning to sign "please"
• Can show she is one (by holding up her index finger)
• Knows where and points to her hair/head, belly, ear, teeth, toes, fingers, and sometimes nose
• Waves to 99% of everyone she sees, and gets really excited anytime she sees another baby or child
• Loves to give kisses, hugs and eskimo kisses
• Loves to play with all of her toys...at once. Hurricane Kylie is what we call her :):)
• Warms up to almost anybody (family/friends only), especially when they show her their cellphone
• Loves her Uncle RyRy (Ryan) and follows him around when she is at YaYa's house
• Loves to read and have Mommy, Daddy, and YaYa reread the same book over and over again :)
• Growing up too fast!!!!

Update on Kylie:
She had her 18 month checkup and we found out she weighs 24.2 lbs and is 35 inches (almost three feet tall). The doctor told us she is over the 95 percentile in height!!! He said everything looks good. Next checkup is at 2 years old.
