18 Months!

I can not believe that our little girl is 18 months old!  It is amazing to see how much she has learned in the past year and a half.  She has such a fun and bubbly personality.  She is just full of energy and is our social butterfly!  She loves to play with her stuffed animals, dolls, and toys.  She loves to read, and she especially LOVES to be outside!  Sydney is constantly grabbing my finger to take me somewhere, many times to the door saying "side."  She follows directions pretty well and understands most of what we say, like "get your shoes" or "throw this away."  Sydney knows so many words now, it's hard to even write them down, but I'll try to write most of the words we hear every day...

Sydney had her 18 month check up on Wednesday and the doctor was very impressed with her language skills.  He said that many 18 month olds have a vocabulary of 5-10 words.  Sydney is very healthy!  Her 18 month stats are:

weight: 23 lbs 2 oz (30 percentile)

height: 31 1/4 inches (45 percentile wahoo!!!)

head size: 46.2 cm (40 percentile)

Who would have thought that MY daughter would ever be such an average height?  Hopefully she keeps that up!
