18 months old...

Boy have we come a long way! Caitlin turned 18 months old on June 7th! We went to her well check this past monday and she is doing very well! She was 31" tall (25th percentile) and weighed 25lbs (50th percentile). Doctor Orr checked her out and then she got 4 shots and she is all caught up until she turns 4! Yay for that! I did talk to him about her allergies which stick around all year and he told us that we could use Zyrtec. It's the only one that's been tested successfully in children under two years. He also told me that he could tell she had allergies and that she doesn't just have a runny nose because she has these folds under her eyes and "babies don't have wrinkles!" So we'll try the Zyrtec when we need to! Thankful for that too!

Cait is starting to talk A LOT more these days. She has said baby, hi, more, all done, shoe (sho) and sock (tha), bye, dog (is still da), no, and of course momma and dadda. She put her first sentence together a couple weeks ago (or at least that's what I'm saying!!!) and said , "hi dad" as Sean walked past her in the living room. It was pretty neat and took me a minute to realize what she said! I'm sure I'm forgetting some other words but you know what I mean, she's developing well!

She eats what we are eating for meals. She's been doing that since she was about 10 months old. We've been very lucky that she hasn't been too picky YET! She has started getting a little more picky about fresh fruits and veggies. She loves dried cranberries though! She has a very healthy appetite too!

Other than all the technical development going on she continues to be a great kid! She is such a happy baby and we know we've been blessed by her! Can't wait for what's to come!
