Her check-up isn't until the end of next month because I had to make it during a time when I would be off from school, so Spring Break it is! At her last check-up in December, she weighed just around 20 pounds. I don't imagine that's changed too much since she's so mobile these days.
She is so affectionate, and loves her baby dolls and stuffed Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse toys. She still sleeps with her Pat-Pat Baby and has to be holding it when we get her out of her crib in the mornings. She'll hold her little bald baby (it makes a crying and laughing sound) and she'll say "oh oh oh" while she pats it and tries to wrap it in a blanket. She also gets her "mous" everyday and likes to carry them around the house or push them in her baby doll stroller.
She has also become very interested in playing dress-up, which is so fun and I can't wait to see how this continues during toddlerhood! She'll bring the kitchen dish towel to me quite frequently, and I'll wrap it around her waist and tuck it into her waistband so she can have a skirt. She also likes to wear them as scarves or head-dresses. She also loves wearing baseball hats backwards. She's just turning out to be the cutest little thing and it's such a treasure to watch!
She loves bath time and even convinced Aaron to give her a bath right after dinner the other night even though she had had a bath the previous night.
She does not wear bibs and still prefers savory foods over sweet ones. At her 18 month check-up we'll find out if we can re-introduce rice to her. She prefers Veggie Straws (which she calls "please") and shredded cheese (which she can actually say) as her snacks, although she's been pretty fond of a Kashi blueberry waffle (plain, no syrup) for breakfast lately.
She still must have her milk in a bottle. She'll drink water from a sippy cup during the daytime, but refuses to have her milk in a sippy cup. The only time she's ever actually agreed to have her milk in a cup was at my mom's house this past Sunday when it was bottle time after dinner, but I forgot to bring a bottle. So we used a very basic sippy cup and she accepted our attempt. :) At home, though, there's no substitution-- bottle or tantrum.
She sleeps so well at night. She goes to bed around 6:15 at night (earlier if she didn't nap well), and wakes around 7:00 (sometimes later) in the morning. She takes at least one solid nap during the day (sometimes this can be a two or three hour nap!) or she takes a few smaller naps (thirty to forty-five minutes).
She's still a skinny-mini and can easily wear her 12-month clothes in addition to 18-month. I put her in some 24 month outfits just for a change of pace!
She's the sweetest little girl and I'm so so blessed and excited to be her mom! She's such a blessing to our family!
Until Next Time,
Much love, Reba
Soooo cute!!
