Eighteen Months



Eighteen months!  How has it been a year and a half already?  Here's what Sierra is up to at 18 months.

-Gets weighed and measured at the doctor next week.  I'm guessing 21lbs and 31 inches.
-Eats very well in quantity.  Not so much in variety, but we're working on it.
-Drinks water or juice out of a sippy cup.  Is fully weaned from nursing!
 -Has a mix of 12-18 month, 18 month, and 18-24 month clothes. 
-Wears a size 4 diaper.
-Naps once a day around 1:00.  Goes to bed at 8 and sleeps until about 8.
-Signs "All done."  Still no other signs.
-Says something remotely resembling "Hi" and "Bye" when she waves.  Not sure if these should be counted words yet.  Says "Eh" loudly when she wants something.  Or screams and throws a fit.
-Climbs up the stairs well and can get down remotely safely.  She also likes walking up the stairs holding someone's hands.
-Loves climbing up the little slide and going down it. Again and again and again.
-Pulls to standing and can almost climb on the couch.
-Walks holding someone's hands and even has taken a step or two with a push toy.
-Got orthotics for her ankles this week, and they have really helped with stability.
-Still receiving occupational and physical therapy.
-Loves Elmo!
-Is my sweet girl!
