It's so hard to believe we celebrated Cammie's 18 month birthday Friday. My baby is definitely no longer a baby (who am I kidding....her baby days were so short lived even from the beginning :) In the blink of an eye she has become a very talkative, independent, head-strong, beautiful girl!
Right now Camryn:
- is 33 1/2 inches tall (95th percentile....she is so darn tall!)
- weighs 28.1 pounds (90-95th percentile)
- primarily wears size 2t clothes (occasionally 18-24 months will work, but we often need the 2t length)
- wears a size 6 shoe
- wears a size 4 diaper
- is a pretty good eater....not too many fruits she won't eat, seems to like most vegetables and even tried a chicken taco the other day :)
- seems to enjoy a few new foods such as sandwiches, ravioli, cracker chips (apparently these are a huge hit with her and Nana), M & M's (go figure :), cheese sticks and grilled cheese
- will still only drink milk and water
- does NOT like macaroni and cheese (she will take it off her tray and hand it to you if you try to get her to eat it)
- is cutting all 4 of her eye teeth....Nuxy must go once they are in :(
- is still attached to that crazy pink blanket
- absolutely LOVES to be outside.....she could stay outside all day long and will if you let her
- loves to read...some of her favorite books right now are Barnyard Dance, Chicka Chicka ABC, Farm Peek-A-Boo, I See a Monster and the first 5-6 pages of Click Clack Moo (I just love when she reads with you, "Cick, Cack, Moo"
- knows the sounds that a cow and dog make....we are working on the duck :)
- can show you all major parts of her body if you ask her where they are (feet, hands, hair, ears, nose, mouth, teeth, be-bo, biscuits :)
- can answer yes and no to most of the questions you ask her (and will give you an accurate or an appropriate answer almost every time)
- has started making connections to certain places when we are out and about or driving (if we pass Chick-Fil-A, Wendy's (strange because we rarely eat there, but we pass it everyday after school on the way home from Nana and Pop's house), or Subway she will start to sign eat or when we pass Target she will point and sometimes say, "Target" :) (Shows you were we spend too much time :)
- has started "singing" along with familiar songs when they are on the radio or tv
- has developed an interest for watching tv....Special Agent Oso only :) She will ask for "Oso," point to the tv and hand you the remote...(she doesn't watch the entire episode, but the songs definitely keep and get her interest :)
- loves to give squeezes (hugs), kisses and high-fives when she is leaving, but sometimes you have to use reverse psychiatry on her and tell her not to give them :)
- loves to show off her amazing dance moves....we now have foot-tapping, fist-pumping, swaying back and forth, twirling and putting her hands on her knees and squatting up and down when music comes on
- talks, repeats and mimics constantly....she is learning and saying SO many new words (a few new highlights are Brohdi boy (not just Brohdi), milk milk (not just milk), doughnut, Lulu (Luciana) car, bus, come on (c'mon), love you, blankey, apple, bread, cheese)
- if you ask her where baby Ellie is she will lift Aunt C's shirt up and point to her be-bo :)
- continues to be a stinker when it comes to sleeping in her bed.....so inconsistent :( Sometimes she will sleep in there all night, but most nights she ends up in bed with Chris and I around 3:00 or later....we know it's our fault, but we decided in January it wasn't something we were going to fight because we knew we were moving in with mom and dad while we waited on the new house and her whole world and schedule would be turned upside down (can't tell you the wave of relief I felt after talking to Dr. Morgan at her appt. Monday and her reassuring it would be okay to work with her once we got settled and she wouldn't be too old....she even said she had to work through a similar situation when her girls were 2 1/2 and 10 months)
- loves to bump glasses and say "cheers" (thanks to her dad)
- really enjoys playing basketball with Chris and Zoey and the new basketball goal...she loves to shoot the ball and her dad has taught her to be a great rebounder :)
- HATES to be covered with a blanket
- will run to get a washcloth, throw it in the bathtub and stand by the tub if you ask her if she wants to take a bath
- will start gymnastics on March 12 :)
- is just growing, developing and doing something new each and every day! Chris and I think she is a genius of course, but we are biased :) I just can't believe how big she is! Love, love that little munchkin more than anything :)
