18 Months

Gretchen’s 18 month checkup went well. She weights 26 lb 5 oz and is 34 ¼ inches in length. Those numbers put her in the 75 percentile for weight and off the chart for height. If you follow the old wives tale of doubling a child’s height at two, she would already be 5’ 8.” We still have six month to go before we are suppose to double her height! She is definitely taking after Daddy in the height department. We do suspect she is allergic to eggs like her mommy. She has broken out in hives the two times she tried them. So we are going to take her for testing soon.

Gretchen’s is doing very well with talking. She knows all her aunts, uncles, and cousins by name. She can do all her alphabet cards, most without help, and she is counting to five. She is speaking in three word sentences. I could not be prouder of my little bean. For the most part she is a happy camper, although she has her toddler moments. So overall we are blessed with a healthy happy little one.
