18 month check-up.

So apparently I confused my WIC appointment with Lili's check up...well mostly I thought the date of my WIC appointment was Lili's check up and totally forgot I go back to WIC this month. Anywho, she was such a big girl! She got one shot, which she whimpered for a second when she was first pricked, then she just stared at the nurse. When the doctor was in there, she had set her oto/ophthalmoscope next to her and Lili on the cot and was using her stethoscope to listen to Lili's heart and lungs. Well she had the ear piece on it, ready to look in Lilian's ears when Lili picked it up and put it to her ears herself! She started alternating between her ears while Dr. Bagnall was still listening with her stethoscope. It was too funny that she actually remembered where that goes, AND Dr. said that's advanced for her age by about 6 months. I also mentioned how she likes to help me put away dishes and actually knows what goes where and she said that's advanced too. Normally kids don't do that until about 2-2 1/2 years old! I was one proud Momma walking out of that office today. Now here's her measurements. I have a blog on my myspace that I updated every appointment, but haven't done it since her 12 month check up so I'll kinda just copy/paste it here for whoever wants to see how she's growing (probably mostly family):

She clearly isn't gaining weight very fast anymore, but they don't seem concerned about it. "Tall and skinny" is usually what she says about that so until they worry, I won't worry.

So just a funny little note about today...Lili is wearing this cute little sundress and had her flip flops on. She was following the nurse back to the room and as we rounded the last corner to the hall our room was down, she trips...twice. I was holding her hand so I just pulled a little to help her up each time since she usually gets distracted and takes forever. WELL she kinda stumbled a bit and I bent down to pick her up...to find her diaper around her ankles...I wish I had my camera out and on at that moment. It was too funny....until during the time we waited for the Doctor to come in after the nurse got her vitals she decided to explode in her fresh clean diaper.

Her cute little dress. It's a halter! :)





















And her crazy woman hair. Half straight, half curly haha.
