Emmie's 21 month visit




Looks like our little squirt is growing! She is actually 50th percentile for both height and weight. I don't think she has ever been more than the 10th percentile. She weighed in at a whopping 25 pounds and was 32.25 inches tall. Her doctor's visits are changing. She knew at the time we got in there that she wasn't going to like it. Dr. Vic was surprised at how well she was speaking and that she knew her ABC's and can count to 20. Something I may not have bragged about here yet. I am still not sure if she learned it from me, Brent, school or Sesame Street. At this point I am not sure that it really matters. I am proud of her that she can do this. She loves reading books and I love when I find her reading to herself or her friends in her room. She is starting to remember certain stories and recite them back. It is really amazing how much she is learning and changing in such a short period of time.

The doctor and I spent most of the time discussing how I can get more vegetables into her diet. I will keep you posted and let you know how it goes. One winner is sweet potato fries. She loves them and doesn't know the difference between those and real ones. One loser... "squash fries". It was an experiment that failed terribly. I wouldn't recommend it. Most of the time if you call it a fry she will eat it. Not in this case though.
She got shots and of course she cried. But is was short lived. Nothing a pumpkin sticker could not take care of.
She is growing like a weed! And, what is up with the glasses you may ask? Not sure, but I keep finding her wearing them. Too funny.


Oh and here is my little chunker at 3 months. No stats until 4 months.

Those look like the glasses she got at Thatcher's birthday :) Glad she likes them (it reminds me of Twitch on So You Think You Can Dance). If you need more just let me know. I have plenty!!
