Stella's- 17 months (18 month check up)

On Wednesday I took Stella for her wellness check up. Since we moved we also found a pediatrician that is closer to our house. There was a 2 month wait to get in so she missed her 15 month check up. They went ahead and treated it like her 18 month check up since she is closer to 18 months. The Doc said she looks great so that was good to hear.

We have really enjoyed her toddler days. Stella constantly keeps David and I laughing with her quirky observations and the words that pop out of her mouth. The Doc seems to think she is a big talker with a lot of teeth. She has 12 teeth. The front top 4, front bottom 4 and 4 molers in the back. She repeats most words that we say. They don't always sound exact but she makes an attempt. Her favorite words are Dada, Mama, NO!(while pointing her finger at you), sausage,shoe, mil (milk), water, Henry( her boyfriends name), apple, banana, more(she does the sign too). She likes say and show where her nose, mouth, eyes, ears, hair and feet are.

Today she was running around with her arms under her pitts acting like a monkey. I have no idea who taught her that but it was really funny.

She eats about anything but loves nothing more then Milk. In fact the doctor said we really shouldn't let her drink more then 24 ounces a day. If there was a milk drinking competition for babies ...Stella would be an amazing competitor. She loves brocoli, turkey saugsage and mandarine oranges.

We also started Soccer this month which has been a hoot. Stella's favorite part is running as fast as she can. It seems like it took her forever to walk(12.5 months) but once she started it's now a full blown sprint.

We are really enjoying the toddler years and feel blessed to see the world for the 1st time through a toddlers eyes.
