18 Months Old


We can hardly believe some days that Mia is already 18 months old. The days seem to fly by and she gets smarter and cuter with each passing one. Her 18-month check-up was last Friday. She now weighs 24 1/2 pounds and is 32 inches tall. She is as healthy as they come and had to have 1 shot. She was more upset about having to lie down on the table for the shot than the actual shot. She was a big girl about it. She will have to have one more at her 2 year check-up but then she will be finished with them until 4 years. Thank goodness. That is always the worst part!

Mia is completely weaned from breastfeeding now and it went very smoothly. She is still on goat's milk but we are going to try her on cow's milk again this week. We hope her little system tolerates it better now. The goat milk is quite expensive, but she's worth it. Mia is just loving life. She is talking so much now. I was keeping track of all her words but I swear she says a new one everyday so it's hard to keep up.

We have been going to storytime at the library on Thursday mornings and she has so much fun. The first day we sat on the carpet in a circle with the rest of the mommies and little boys and girls and it took Mia all of 2 seconds to feel completely comfortable and she was in the middle of the circle checking everyone out. There really is no sitting and listening to a story at all. It's so much fun to watch her being so social. She absolutely loves being around other people, of all ages.
