18 Months

It's hard to believe, but Miss Eva is 18 months old today!! Where has the time gone??

She went to the doctor this morning and had a good checkup. She weighs 20lbs 12 oz and is 32 inches tall. Now that she's a big girl she got to stand on the scale and was measured standing up, even though she wasn't completely sure about this new way of doing things. The doctor was happy with all of the things Eva is doing and with the exception of walking, she's right on track for doing what most 18 month olds do (even though we subtract 3 months for being a preemie)! She's just so amazing!

Here are some of the things Miss Eva does:

she loves to do the hand motions to Itsy Bitsy Spider
she will say the "doo dah" part if we sing or whistle Camptown Races and then stop at that part
she can't help but dance anytime/anywhere she hears music
she's trying to eat with a spoon
when we sit down at the table, she puts her hands together and says, "amen"
she points to her bellybutton, nose, teeth, feet, and eyes
she likes going to storytime at the library

And some of her words:

airplane (if she even just hears one she says this, though she will also point one out in the sky as well)
yummy (when she wants to eat or is eating something yummy)
up
open
blueberry
all done
hello (in a funny accent, when she picks up the phone or something else and puts it to her ear)
yes please
thank you
ball
NO (she's really figured out just when to use this one!)
cookie and cracker (though the "c" sounds like "t")

It seems she says something new everyday and repeats a lot of what we say, too.

What a fast and fabulous 18 months we've had!!!
