18 months

OK, so I'm a few days late on this, but thought I'd bring everyone up to date on Lydie @ 18 months.  She had her checkup on Tuesday & received rave reviews!  Our doctor is close to our hearts.... we always enjoy seeing Dr. Situmeang & his nurse, Christie.  They are almost as excited as we are that we finally had a little girl!  Dr. Situ also has a girl named Lydia in his clan of 9 kids.  Lydia is now 24 1/2 lbs & is 32 inches tall!  Puts her at about 50th % for both.  She is practicing doing alot of "mommy" things, like helping fold laundry, playing with her play kitchen, food & teaset, sweeping & putting things away.  She is also a girl in constant motion, as seen in the photo above.... this one portrays her perfectly.  Lydie is also throwing tantrums, which is always frustrating, but I just lay her carefully on the floor, so she doesn't hit her head, & let her go at it.  She's trying to say alot of words as well.  Mommy, Daddy, guys or boys (collin & evan), hey, hi, up, no, done, hot, cheese, yum, yes, Lydie, cat, dog, go, Lacey (aunt Kim's dog).  I'm sure there are more I'm not thinking of, but it seems that if we try to get her to say it she will try it at least once.  So that's all I can think of for the Lydie update, more later!
