Connor at 18 months

Allison at 18 months

   Well,  our little baby is not a baby anymore.  It is hard to believe that the baby of the family is now one and a half years old.  She has turned into quite the young lady.  She loves to play with Allison and Connor and repeats whatever they say.  She calls Allison Al yeah or Alson (no i).  Connor is simply, Connor.  She usually says one or two words at a time, but lately we see her putting two and three words together.  Mama, want some, Connor r you?  At Meijer she and Connor picked out some fruit snacks and she was yelling "Bummies, want some".  Very cute.  She loves to play with the babies, Connor's cars, the kitchen and is happy just following Connor and Allison around.  Her favorite books are Where is Elmo's blanket? and Dancing Elmo.  Favorite foods are pizza and cereal.  She is super attached to her pink "banket" and takes a good two to three hour nap in the afternoon and is usually down for the night at 8:00.  She seems to draw a lot of attention wherever we go because she looks so small, but has such a strong and clear voice.

At 18 months:

23.6 lbs (35% ile)
30 inces (50%ile)

I have to take her back for a weight check in two months since she has not been gaining much weight.  The winter was not kind to her.  Lots of colds and ear infections which resulted in little weight gain.
She is definitely the smallest of the three.  We are savoring every moment with her.
