I taught her how to knock, then say "Come in". This is her interpretation.

Two big things have happened.
1. Because she is the size of her crib mattress, we have just full blown converted her into a full sized bed. She also wakes up still to come get me in the night. I usually crawl into her crib with her and sleep, and I just can't take it anymore! Now, I will fit! Last night was her first night in her new big girl bed and I think she may have been scared. She cried every time I tried to lay in it with her, but later was fine. Who knows.
2. She took her first poo in the tub. I had to scoop it with my hand, gross!

18 month well check (a month late)
Weight: 29.4 lbs
Height 34.6 inches
Head circumference: 19.7 inches
She is around the 97th percentile for all categories.
Good news is she has had the last of her shots until she starts school! Sooo happy!
Sickness is officially OVER! Thank goodness. That was no fun. I think she will miss her amoxicillin. She liked getting it out of the fridge for me.

My poor baby
What was supposed to be a well check appt yesterday morning turned into a regular visit. Come to find out she's got her first ear infection. I would have never guessed that, she never once signaled to me that her ear bothered her. I assumed it was her throat because all she does is drool and cry when she swallows or coughs. She was extremely congested, faucet nosed, fever and all. I felt so bad and completely helpless not being able to make her feel better. She has been on amoxicillin for a few days now and is doing much better.

Finally! Progress!
Yesterday was a groundbreaking day for her!
Yesterday morning, as all mornings, she walks up to my face and stares at me with her big silly grin. I open my eyes and say "good morning baby" and she says "hi" clear as day.
Later, she was playing with her books next to Chris and his buddy Fred. Usually she makes a very common "shu jits" noise, but this time it sounded more like "what's this?" This makes perfect sense because when we read books I point and ask "what's this?".
Then...that evening she wanted to sit in her carseat while Dad was installing his car stereo. I stood next to her, and she kept reaching for me saying "gish gish gish". Then I realized she wanted to kiss me! So we played that game over and over.
I really hope she keeps this up! A lot of times she starts doing something and stops. I have been anticipating talking since she was born, so her being slow is KILLING ME! Ha ha, I'm just so excited that she is finally trying. Now I have to figure out all the other sounds she makes...
On a sad note, my perfect little baby bubble world has been compromised. She has caught a nasty cold with a fever. I was up with her all night last night. Hearing her cough up junk and watching snot pour down her face is breaking my heart.

FAQS
She is growing so quickly and ever evolving, it's hard to put every little thing up here! So here's a few highlights:
Bedtime is still a struggle. She wakes up on average at least once a night still ever since converting her bed. She crawls in my bed in stealth mode until she begins to fidget. I'm so used to getting up it's no longer a big deal now to get up to put her back in bed, and it only takes a few minutes.
She is still not really talking. I try really hard not to get concerned, I know all kids do things at their own pace, but most kids her age are saying a few words by now. She says dog when she looks at Lucy, but that's really about the only consistent "real" word she uses. She knows exactly what she wants and she knows how to show me what she wants. Everything is a pull of the finger. It makes it difficult when everything can be accomplished with a gesture!
She has discovered her eyes, nose and vagina. Keeping her fingers out of them is fun.
She kisses with her mouth closed and gives the best neck choking hugs!
She is getting really good with electronics. She can navigate her entire DS Mario game (switching from mario game to minigames), turn on the super nintendo on the big tv and play some of it, she knows moving the mouse on the computer turns it on so she will move the mouse, crawl up on the seat and start clicking all over the place, and she loves to turn on her movie!
She still LOVES watching music videos. Not kid songs, real music. We have a library of about 15 songs that are her favs.
Potty training? Yah right. She doesn't seem the least bit interested yet. I have a feeling she will never warm up to her baby potty and will go directly to the big one. The closest we are at it is she knows to close the lid after I flush. Ha ha.
