I've been a horrible blogger lately (like that's something new), but yesterday I uploaded 2 months worth of pics, and thought it was time to post an Allison update. And since I haven't been keeping a baby book so much, this is my only documentation of her development!
Her 18 month appointment was on September 21st and she weighed in at 21lbs 4oz (15th percentile) and measured 32 3/4" tall (70th percentile). The doctor checked the percentile chart for height first and was kinda baffled that our little preemie was so tall! But she was then reassured by her diminutive weight... :)
Sleepy girl
Allison can now jump unassisted, climb stairs on her own (with a railing), eat with a spoon, sort shapes, and put on her own shoes (mostly). She's still a little slow on talking, but now says, "hi, da dee," "tickle tickle," "i did it," and "all gone" pretty regularly. We've heard some other words, but not repeatedly. She continues to sign in the meantime. I love that if I ask her if she's hungry, she will respond with the sign for "eat."
She loves to play tea party and busy ball popper, as well as read books and listen to music. Oh yeah, and watch Dora. She loves Dora. She enjoys "helping" mommy cook and unload the dishwasher, too. It's really amazing how much she learns everyday. She continues to be a happy, healthy girl (most days)!
