...Our Story...: 18 months!

It is hard to believe that Macey is already 18 months! I feel like everyday she is less a baby and more a little girl! I haven't been very good about taking pictures in a certain chair or something every month to see how she is growing but I have done these on the same blanket...

The day we brought Macey home from the hospital

A little over 9 months (sorry about the crumpled blanket, it makes it hard to see how long she is.)

A little over 18 months. I'm telling you, this girl LOVES books!

Today Macey had her 18 month check-up and everything is going great! She continues to be our little skinny minnie...she weighed in at 23 pounds which puts her in the 30%, but she is in the 97% for her height!! 34.5 inches! Pretty soon we can say that she is 3 feet tall :-) The doctor was impressed by how many words she says so I thought it would be a good idea to make a list:

Mommy
Daddy
Hi
Bye-Bye
Pa-Pa (which seems to mean grandpa or grandma)
Cat
Cow
No-no
Uh-huh
O-Oh
Up
Car
Go
Moo
Quack
Baa
Babies
Tree
Pink
Yellow
Purple
Blue
Green
Boo
Pretty
Teeth
Elmo
Abby
Ball
Kick
Play
Open
Close
Cup
Eyes
Nose

I think that is a pretty comprehensive list for now (she seems to be saying more things every day). What a sweet girl we have!

Wendy said...: Wow! It always amazes me how fast they grow. She is quite the little talker, with a mom like you how could she not, right, lol! Totally kidding, I really do miss talking to you! You are so smart to write all those words down, I wish I would have done more of that....don't you just love technology?; January 7, 2009 at 9:21 AM

Keith and Allie said...: What a lucky girl to be tall and skinny! (like her mom!) My kids were always average in height and weight but their head circumfernce was off the charts! Those Nigburs have big heads!; January 7, 2009 at 1:06 PM
