Caroline Jane ~ Eighteen Months

Caroline Jane, at eighteen months you:

• weigh 26 pounds and 9 ounces.
• are 33 inches tall.
• wear size 24 month or 2T and a size 4 diaper.  You also wear a size 5 shoe.
• are such a good sleeper.  You go to bed around 6:30 and on school days we wake you at 6:15.  On the weekends you'll sleep until 7:30 or 8:00.
• take a two hour nap most days.
• are still crawling around like crazy.  You pull up on everything and cruise everywhere but you won't walk.  You are able to stand unassisted really well but once you realize you are doing it, you sit down.  Silly girl!
• have taken a few fairly stable steps but that's it.
• have a few words that you say regularly like no-no, uh-oh, mama, daddy, bye bye, baby, nana, papa, mimi, and ball.  You are doing a lot of gibberish babbling but we have no idea what you are saying.  You aren't as in to sign language as your brother but we are still encouraging it.  You get frustrated easily and then just grunt.
• are getting speech therapy and physical therapy once each week.  Your speech therapist is Miss Sinead and your physical therapist is Miss Heather.  You do really well with each and they both compliment your sweet personality.
• are still in the infant room at school but you go to the toddler room a lot.  You can't be in there full time until you are walking well but you love the time you love the time you spend in there.
• love playing with your brother and he loves tickling you.  You laugh so hard!
• say "Cheeeee" when someone takes your picture.  You even sign cheese while you say it.
• are the cuddliest little love bug and we couldn't love you more!
