16 Months

When I scheduled Maddie's 15 month appointment, I wanted to make it on Spring Break-which actually she is almost 16 months. Here check-up went great. I was concerned about her not really walking yet. I have been getting opinions from different people, but the doctor said that is it not abnormal for a girl especially to get distracted when walking. Which is what Maddie does. She will start walking and get distracted and then fall, or she will get in a hurry and then fall. But she has really improved a lot over the last week.

Numbers- 30 inches long (E was 30 1/2 at 18 months) and 19.21 lbs (E was 19.1 at 18 months)-so they are pretty close in height and weight.

Madelyn,

*You are in size 3 diaper (still), size 12-18 months clothes, and size 4 shoe
*You are still not completely walking, but are taking more of an interest and really starting to get it.
*You LOVE food, some of your favorite things are: hamburger, cereal bars, applesauce, cheese-its, and M & Ms.
*You can climb nearly anything and are fearless when doing it
*You love to play outside, and it is lots of tears whenever we have to come in
*The "bafe" is one of your favorite inside activities-until Mommy starts to wash your hair and then you try to climb out of the tub and call for "Dada"
*You have a large vocabulary and will attempt to repeat anything we say
*You are really starting to play well with your sister, and you love to call for "Eelee." Forget the baby toys you are all about Barbie's and "bebes."
*Your smile is contagious and are really getting a personality that stops people who are passing by.
