Olivia and I have been together for 6 months. Wow! I occasionally wondered if she was growing and changing. Sometimes it is hard to see this when you see someone everyday.....AND THEN all of a sudden I can see a little girl in my baby! Her hair is longer, she runs down the street, her vocabulary is expanding rapidly, her motor skills are impressive, she tells me when to change her diaper, and she is a little daredevil. 18 Month checkup....75% height and 25% weight

Here is her vocabulary to date, tomorrow there will probably be more:
1. mama
2. nana (grandma)
3. nana (banana)
4. papa
5. woof woof
6. bah
7. moo
8. please
9. ball
10. choo choo
11. poo poo
12. bye bye
13. baby
14. uh oh
15. meow
