oh hai neglected blog...

Oye!  I try to keep up but I fail again & again.  Blame the toddler :)  Addison had her 18 month appointment yesterday so I thought I'd drop in a quick note for the stats.  (technically shes 19.5 months but what the heck).
Weight 22.13
Height 33 inches
Still a light weight but above 50% for height.  Her iron was a little low so we are going to have to start some vitamins but everything else was good.


here's the little nut ball before bed tonight.

Someone Keeps Getting Older!

I've been a little MIA lately.  What?  With all the Christmas, working, toddler chasing, photography, and editing I feel like I'm forgetting to breathe and I am surely forgetting how to blog.

Annnnnyway....

Addison is 17 months old today!  SEVENTEEN months!

no weight, height etc. stats for the month, I think she's getting taller though.  She sure looks it and those sneaky fingers can reach things on counters that they couldn't before.

Addison is talking up a storm she can say so many new things that I can't even begin to list them anymore.  She asks for "Mo" of everything, "Mo" food at dinner, "Mo" toys to play with, "Mo" things to carry around the house.  She now wants a bite of anything and everything that she sees you eating.  "Bie, Bie"

Mimic's adults like crazy, carries around a purse, "talks" on her cell phone, pretends to type on the computer, pretends to dial the phone or text.  So hilarious to watch her!

Bath time is still her favorite thing ever, say the word and she runs to the tub and says "Bat, Bat" trying to climb in herself fully clothed.  Asking for bubbles the whole time.  She got a new bath toy for Christmas that plays music and blows bubbles the whole time, the child is in LOVE!

We're up to 12 teeth, one molar is just barely peeking through the skin but the rest of them are in (well at least this round of them!)

Still not the worlds best eater but she has days where she eats anything and everything that you put in front of her an other days she will barely take more than a bite before proclaiming shes done.

She loves to read.  Still working on attention span of more than 30 seconds when you read to her unless she's tired then she'll sit through a book.  She loves to grab a book and go off in the corner or in another room and read to herself though, she'll read out loud and follow the words with her fingers.  I'm not sure where she saw someone do it but the other day she grabbed a book with paper pages (not a board book) and kept licking her entire hand to flip pages, too fricken' cute!

So much better at communicating things she wants & needs, not all the way there yet but less tantrums when someone can't figure out what she wants.  Still a pretty happy, silly kid!

Baby Girl is 15 Months!

15 month stats are much the same as last months, not sure of weight or height.  Her next doctors appointment isn't until the end of the month.  Not a lot of notable big changes this month.  Mostly her personality is starting to really show.   She is without a doubt a show off, she likes to be the center of it all, all of the time.  She's independent and stubborn, much like a few other people I know.  

 

In size 4 diapers, still wearing 12 month clothing 18 months stuff is starting to fit her better, pants are still to big around. In a size 3 shoe right now.

Not saying a whole lot more than last month, at least not much that we are picking up on, she babbles like crazy, I'd swear she knows a foreign language that we are not aware of.

Very "momma" clingy right now, always wants "momma", "momma".   But very much a cuddle bug when she's not feeling 100% like herself, or when she's having problems being constipated which we've dealt with more than I would like to have this past month.  Poor Kid.

Can throw the queen of all tantrums, throwing her self on the ground, kicking, screaming, all of it. Usually they are over quickly and she's on to the next thing.  Usually unless she's in need of a nap, then its a whole 'nother ball game!

can you see the lovely runny nose we've been dealing with this past weekend?  Poor baby girl is a coughing, raspy  boogery mess.
