The first of the firsts is Belle's 18 month stats:
Weight 17lbs 4 oz---20% One more pound, yeah!
Length 28 1/4 in---25%
She is still a petite little thing.
Belle has really taken off the last couple months. She is doing so many new things. It is so fun to see her grow and learn because every little thing is such a big milestone for her. It is very exciting and we find ourselves constantly oohing and awing over her.
She fell down the stairs for the first time, ate dog food, and got her first finger tip snipped while getting her fingernails clipped. I know....horrible mom. Because she ate the dog food I found out she got her first two teeth which were molars. Last week her front bottom tooth decided to make an appearance. Because of the fall we now have a lovely gate (did I mention I hate the look of gates) that traps babies, dogs, and adults upstairs. As for her finger it is now healed but it was a bad one that bled forever. I admit I shed a few tears over that one.
Other firsts are: having her first piece of cheesecake which she thought was heaven, she is now pulling up to EVERYTHING, and she is just starting to crawl on her hands and knees. She still relies on the good ol' army crawl since she can go much faster that way. Her hair is getting so long and I don't have it in me to cut it. When it's wet it is down to the middle of her back. I keep telling myself that when she is two she can have a big girl haircut but for now she's still my baby. She/we have started a co-op class at Kindering (the center where she gets all her therapies) and she absolutely loves it. The first time was interesting which is a post in itself but she was such a big girl and loved the group activities. It made me realize how mature she really is.
This is how I found her when she woke up from her nap one day. It was so cute, I love firsts.
And just a couple more because she's just so cute.
