We had Sabine's 18 month well-baby visit at the doctor's office today. I am happy to announce she's way up in the weight percentile. (That could possibly be related to the copious amounts of cupcakes we've been eating recently...dunno.) The official stats are: weight, 20 lbs 11.5 oz, which is the 24th percentile. Whooo-hooo, that's way up from the 6th percentile, which is where she was at for her last appointment. She was 31.75" long, which puts her in the 49th percentile for height, and her head circumference was 18.5, which puts her in the 71st percentile there. Fairly consistent with where she's been previously. (= still top-heavy.)
The doctor acted properly impressed with her vocabulary, especially when Sabine announced
"POTTY!" and tried to take off her diaper. I think it was more Sabine announcing that she is aware her diaper is somehow related to potty-things, but the doctor said we could go ahead and try potty training since Sabine seemed interested in it. We'll wait at least until after our trip in May, but it's exciting to think about diaper-free days sometime in our future.
In other news, Sabine is still enjoying music class, running, coloring, singing "ABCD," and doing the hand gestures for "The Itsy-Bitsy Spider." She's a big fan of Elmo and the Snuffleupagus, as well as dinosaurs and bulldozers. Conveniently, there's still quite a bit of construction going on in our neighborhood, so we see "buh-buh-hsss" in action regularly.
We also got her pictures taken in her Easter dress, and we have a ton of extras, so if you'd like a copy, let us know. They are really cute. (I say, not very objectively.)
Wow, lots of new posts! I can't believe she's 18 months already. Such a cutie. It looks like you had fun making yummy cupcakes -- and that's awesome that you might start potty-training already! Good luck!
ReplyDeleteI want a picture please! I loved the picture from the last post of Sabine tentatively peeking into the mixing bowl. So cute!
