Elaina's First Sentence

About a week ago, Elaina put her first sentence together... and boy was it a good one. The sentence: "I go poo poo!" The emphasis is on the second "poo." The very next morning, Brad went to get her up and she had gone poop in her diaper. Her first words to Daddy, "I go poo poo!" And then today... she was at Becky's house and she said, "I go poo poo," stopped what she was doing and pooped a nugget in her diaper! She's so cute and smart. Oh yes, and the other day Amelia was going poop on the potty and she was hollering "poo poo!" She's my smart little kid.

Elaina's 18m Check Up

This past Friday I took Elaina in for her well baby check up. She's doing spectacular! Her head is 47cm (50%), weight 21lbs 11oz (25%) and height 31.5" (25%). She's matching her own growth curve. The nurse practitioner we saw isn't concerned about her lack of speech due to the fact that she understands everything. She says that she is into other things other than talking. She did have a good time watching Elaina move things around, get on the stool and jumping. She made some of the other nurses come in and watch Elaina jump. Too cute. Then Elaina had one shot. She didn't even cry! What a super girl. Next check up will be right around two years! Wahoo!
