18 month checkup

When we changed drs it messed up the shots timing, so her checkups have been pushed back enough that these well child checks come almost a month after her actual turning. Kind of annoying.
Anyway, I didnt get to go to this one. My first one to miss in the 3.5 years of being a mom. It was hard. I was sad. I planned on going, but my well planned day turned for the worse when my appointment at the cardiologist went long, and then they told me i needed an echo done that day. Blah. So i sent Brandon and his mom to Brookies well child check while i stayed in Provo to get an echo done.

Anyway, I guess either A. Brookie isnt growing anymore or B. Somehow they messed up on measurements. B. is unlikely seems how the nurse measured her at 12 months, and then when Dr Bean came in and told me what they measured her as it was way below what she was at 9 months so Dr Bean measured her. It came to land her on the normal curve so we counted it good. Well this time Brookie shows that she grew .25 of an inch. That taking her off the normal curve and looks weird. So i guess we will see what her 2 year appointment shows. She is so tall that it shouldn't really matter. She is still above the 90%tile.

Anyway, I love my lady. She is getting so much personality lately  She is starting to talk more and more. She loves LOVES her big brother. I love that they share a room. They have gotten so close since we put them in the same room. She loves to get into my jewelry  so much that mom finally had to put it up high because she was finding earrings and necklaces all over the house and didnt want to loose them. She is a good helper. She is so smart. I can give her a task and she always does it. Comparing her to a little girl i tend that is just 2 months younger who cannot do that, im grateful for my little helper. She helps with the laundry (she gets to shove in all the wet clothes into the dryer) she loves to 'help' unload the dishwasher. She loves to put her coat and shoes away. And can even get her dirty clothes in the hamper.

Brookie and her partner in crime, stealing marshmallows out of Alfie our elfs bathtub Sunday Morning. And might i add that i love his arm around her, he was worried she would fall off the toilet. He loves his sissser.

as of 12-6-12
Height: 33.5 inches 90%tile
Weight 23.15 LB about 65%tile
Head 18.5 inch  about 45%tile
