18 months!

Clara had her 18 month checkup today. Here are the stats:

24 lbs. 1 oz (44th percentile)
34 1/4" (99th percentile)

Still tall and skinny like her mommy. If it holds true that you can double their height at 18 months to gauge their adult height, she'll be exactly my height! I'll have a twin! Well, hopefully she won't be quite as thin. I'd like her to have a little meat on her bones, but I have a feeling she's also inherited my metabolism; you wouldn't believe how much food this girl can put down. So, I think she's destined to be a skinny minny.

She's doing great. She had to get 2 shots, but was soooo brave. She held still the whole time, didn't cry for the first one and cried just a little for the second. I was able to show her her cool owies with band-aids and that shut her up real quick. She left the office with her first ever lollipop. She's a fan.

Oh, and while we were in the office and I was trying to keep her entertained, I got out her crayons and asked her to pick out different colors. She got red, blue and purple right! I was so excited but thought maybe it was a fluke, but she did it again. I love it when she learns something new. I have no idea why it's so awesome, but it is.

How fun that she's learning her colors! I know that when we were there last month, she pointed to something and said (correctly) "purple." Now that she has the concept down, she'll learn the other colors quickly.

So happy to hear that her 18-month check-up was so good.

Give her a hug from Grandma.
