She was 31 inches, still in the 95th percentile, and 20 lbs. 14 oz., in the 50th percentile. She has been pretty consistent. She got four shots - prevnar 13, mmr, varicella and hepatitis. After not even crying when she got her 6 month shots, these were pretty bad. She was so pale afterwards also, I just felt awful and hated sending her home with Dad while I headed back to work.
She is eating a lot of table food now. Her favorites are chicken, pineapple, banana, macaroni and cheese, string cheese and goldfish.
Walking has become her primary mode of transportation, although she will still crawl occasionally. She loves mimicking our faces, especially if we smack our lips. She still loves bath time. She will take off down the hallway to the bath or shower at all times of day.
She pulls the drain plug out when she is ready to get out of the tub. She frequently tries to stand in the bath tub, so we are constantly telling her to sit down. She has grown pretty attached to mommy, and cries whenever anyone she is close to leaves the house.
She still loves playing outside and bangs on the door like Winston does to let us know she would like to go out.
In fact, she wants to be Winston, I am pretty sure. We have to constantly watch her or else she heads straight for the dog food. She licks lotion off of her hands right after it is applied (a Winston trademark), and as soon as we get her out of her highchair she struggles to get free because she wants to join Winston in eating her crumbs off of the floor. They also love to play chase around the den.
She does not say many words consistently, some days she will not really say any at all, but here is a list of words that I have heard her say at least a few times: mama, dada, no, yay, duck (and quack, quack, quack), fish, wagua (mixture of water and agua), cheese, go, and done.
She received a play kitchen for her birthday from her second cousins Landry and Lucas and absolutely loves it. Yesterday she carried her plastic grapes with her all day, even to the doctor. Her favorite activity is removing the sink from the kitchen, dropping items down it, then opening up the cabinet door to find them. It never gets old.
She is also a climber. She received a picnic table from my parents for her birthday and rather than sit at the table, she prefers to climb on top of it. Small spills don't bother her most of the time.
I am sure there are a ton of other great things that she does that I am failing to remember right now. I am loving this age so much. Nothing makes me happier than seeing her toddle towards me when I walk through the back door in the evenings.
