18 months old

Nora is 18 months old. Wow, where has the time gone? She has gotten so big and is such a big girl now. I sometimes forget that she is only 18 months because she is so much bigger than Jackson so I think she is older than she is. She still hasn't mastered or even become a novice of talking, but she does have running, hitting, climbing, playing, throwing & eating down to a science. She no longer smells like baby, but little girl! She also has this new smile--She squints her eyes and shows her pearly whites.

Height: 32.25" 70%
Weight 25 lbs 65%
Head 46cm 35%

She loves:
fruit
animals
mommy (she used to be a daddy's girl!)
watching cartoons (she has watched more tv in the last month than in the previous 17 months!)
sleeping
ice cream
technology (she loves phones, ipads, computers)
drinking from straws
playing outside
giggling

She says:
mama
dada
puppa
cracker
nah (no)
baby
tank uh (thank you)
and she shakes her head VERY deliberately for YES!
She babbles up a storm--hopefully soon we will be able to understand her.

Nora and her 'nora bear' at 18 months

Jackson 2 week check up

Jackson had his 2 week check up today. He already has a double ear infection. I hope this is a fluke and not the start to a chronic ear problem! He has to take medicine 2 times a day-poor guy. Otherwise he is growing and doing well. He had some jaundice right away which is getting better. It helps that we try to be outside everyday.

Weight: 8 lbs 12 oz 50%
Height: 21.5 inches 75%
Head Circumference: 36.5cm 30%

Nora was in the 50% for weight and 85% for height at this age so both kids are pretty similar (at this point!)
