Have 18 months really passed since Mikayla was born?
She wasn’t very happy here, just moments after her arrival!
Much happier here. Side note – she is sporting a hat made by the one and only Brittany. You can purchase one too for $10!
It is crazy how time flies! Dr. F said Mikayla looked great at her check up on Tuesday. At 18 months she was 32 inches long, weighed in at 22 lbs and her head was a whopping 47 cm. She has grown 3.5 inches since her one year appointment…the nurse was super impressed with this growth. I mean I knew she had grown, but wow! She is still below average in weight and head circumference, but is above the red average line in height. She is also talking more, not sentences yet, but she is putting "I" in front of a lot of statements. For example "I poo poo", "I eat", etc. She is also signing more and communicating with us when she has gone to the bathroom. She doesn’t usually tell us beforehand that she needs to go, but almost always tells us after the fact. I believe we are on our way to potty training this little baby! She still only eats one good meal a day, but apparently that isn’t stopping her from growing!
She took her two shots like a champ at her 18 month checkup! As a reward we went to the park for a little fun, including Ben attempting to fly his homemade kite!
Sensory tub update.
Mikayla loves her tub! I am already making plans for a winter themed tub. Any suggestions?
Daddy’s kite!
Her concentration face!
Making mommy a snack!
Sliding with daddy is so much fun!
A somewhat successful self portrait.
Mikayla, what did you do when you were 18 months old? Oh I just hung around!
Cotton balls (for snow) and scoops
Candles that "light up" and textured snowflakes. Turns out Mikayla is not a fan of the scratchy texture!
Tinsel garland and jingle bell bracelets 
Tiny clay ornaments
