18 months


Ayla had her 18 month well-baby check today.
She's doing just fine. She even moved up to the 10 percentile in height and weight.
She now weighs 21.5 pounds and is 30 inches tall.
We are giving her way too much milk...so we need to back off on that. More food, less milk.
Who knew?
She's really starting to say a lot of words. She says, "NO!" perfectly.
Great.
She got one shot and just got kind of mad at the nurse. But now we are done with shots for a while.
She is so funny these days. Very very animated.
She loves to eat beans...especially black beans, avacado and cheese. That is her favorite meal. She also loves hummus and crackers. A girl after my own heart.
She only drinks milk and water. She'll spit anything else out.
Her skin is super sensitive. It's always up around her neck and down at the top of the back of her diaper. The doctor says she has seen a lot of that up by the next with the new "tagless" clothes. The stuff that is ironed in the shirt to replace the tag irritates lots of little ones' skin. Ayla included. She'll scratch it until it bleeds.
She gives us a run for our money, no doubt.
She can go from hitting to squeezing you in a tight hug around the neck in about .3 seconds flat.
Can't remember life without her....
