Updates

Now that our little Miss Heidi is.....sigh......18 months old (where the heck did that time go?) she is as funny and smart as ever. She surprises us everyday with something new that she had discovered about herself or the world around her.
She is always on the go, never a dull moment with her. I think since she has learned to walk, she sits down just long enough to enjoy a meal and then it's back to go, go, go.
Here are a few updates:

*She loves trying on shoes. Her own, mama's, dada's, it doesn't matter, she loves shoes. Her glittery, ruby slippers are a favorite besides daddy's slippers.

*She loves dinosaurs!! One of her favorite shows now is Dinosaur Train. She lights up when that comes on and all she does is scream out, "deeeeeeeee!!!" and spins in circles!
She has a collection of 2 dinosaurs, so far! They make it out on almost all of our errand adventures.

*Another show she has taken an interest in is The Cat in the Hat. She has 2 Dr. Seuss books that we read to her and she just noticed tonight that the Cat is on the back of both books. She grinned from ear to ear with that discovery!

*She had her first "big kids" meal at Perkins the other night and devoured it!






*She recently got a molar (her first of the 4). That was a fun adventure, but not really. But at least we know what to expect the next time around. We suspect that will be soon since the other molar is just under the surface and her gums look red and puffy.

*She discovered the fun of the dryer. She loves helping with laundry.

















*We met up with some friends from my Mommy and Me group. We met at an indoor playground. She had so much fun. She learned to climb the stairs and go down the slide, all by herself. She even went in the moonwalk and had a blast. She towers over her other little friends.

*Speaking of that, she had her 18 month check up. (she didn't appreciate any of her exam and made mommy sweat like crazy holding on to her flailing body.)
Her current stats are:
weight: 31.2#
height: 34"
Her doctor said she is a healthy girl and is growing like a weed. She got 3 shots and did OK, lots of crying, but she survived.

*She knows all of her animals sounds, the H and E in her name and she can talk through the alphabet and point to where she's at as she talks (even though you can't understand her).

*Potty Watch 2010 is still going but we're taking it slow. She still tells us when she goes poo poo, she still sits on the potty chair and waves bye bye to pee pee in the potty. We just have to commit to it and do it. So, we'll keep ya posted.
