18 mo. update (a little late)

Aeris turned 18 months a couple of weeks ago. She's changed from a baby to a toddler overnight it seems. Though not walking independently of the walker yet, she tests her balance by letting go of the handle. She's always so proud of herself, and makes sure to do it when somebody's watching.
She LOVES books. She has some favorites which she pulls from the shelf and brings to us several times a day.
Her favorite letter of the alphabet is "B". How do I know? Practically every word in her vocabulary starts with "B"... bunny, ball, book, baby, buzzz, blanket, baby, blocks.
At her check-up she weighed a petite 18 lbs. 14 oz., so no forward-facing carseat yet. That still leaves her off the chart for weight, but at 2'7", she made it to 25th percentile for height. Her head measured 18.3", 50th percent! Maybe that big head is why she hasn't been able to keep her balance to walk!

    Aeris is so cute! Is she really a year and a half already?

    She really is a petite little thing, isn't she? Was Jade small like that too? I don't recall that she was. Hopefully Aeris will venture away from the walker soon, but it looks like she's coming along just fine.

    Hope you're doing good.

    She is such a little cutie! She and Jonah would be quite a pair, if they ever get to spend time together. They could babble all about their weight woes.
