Today Ansley turned 18 months. We can't believe she is already a year and a half. In the past 3 months she has changed so much. She is communicating a lot more, she can say about 15 words (which the doctor was pleased with) & and a lot of gibberish. She loves to answer "yes" to everything. She has gotten really good at using a spoon and trying to use a fork to eat with. Of course, she is still a very picky eater (I guess she got that from me)! She now likes to run everywhere instead of walking, and loves to play chase with her daddy:)
As for physical development, Ansley is now 24.6 pounds (50-75 percentile, was in the 45 percentile), and is 34 inches tall (jumped from the 60 percentile to now 95 percentile). I am sure they just measured her wrong at last checkup, I doubt she grew that much in 3 months. The doctor said she is going to be tall and skinny....I guess we will see :)
Ansley luckily only had to get the MMR shot today (she still hated every minute of it) and we now do not have to go back to the doctor's until her 2 year check-up. I can't wait to see how much Ansley develops in her communication by then. I am always nervous that she isn't saying as much as she should, but she is also shy around unfamiliar people. So she communicates with us more then she does with others.
(Sorry about all the pictures of her looking down, it is so hard for her to look at me these days)
Ansley loves her doodle pro
Another favorite, reading books

Everything sounds so familiar!! Although Evan says "NOOOOOO" to everything and very shy around people he doesn't know! He's 24 pounds too but just at 30 inches!! Shorty! Can't get him to look at me anymore either and he loves his Etch-a-Sketch too!! They would have so much fun together! Isn't it such a fun age?!!
Miss you lots,

Sounds like Ansley is growing like a weed. I know she is a picky eater but just keep trying things. I was VERY surprised how well she at Houlihans this past weekend.
Do the doctors know when they will have the Hep shot in? Is there a deadline of when she needs to get that last booster?
The Hepatitis A she is just shy of when she needs to get it, but they are out of it. She will get it at her 2 year checkup. It is the Hib vaccine that was recalled. She should have had it at her 12 month checkup, they still do not have enough and have to give it to babies first.
WOW..she is a tall one! She's going to be tall and skinny like Mommy! :o) How much fun! I love that age and can't wait for Braeden to be there!
