18 month check-up

Ava had her 18 month check-up yesterday (almost 2 months late, she'll be 20 months on Monday, but better late than never!). She impressed Dr. Berry by counting to 10 in English (skipping 4 and 7 as always) and to 8 in Spanish, which actually really surprised me, since I didn't know she could do that! He was very pleased with her verbal skills and said she's definitely on the advanced end of the talking spectrum. With Aiden being such a late talker and all of the worrying I did over that, it's nice not to have to stress about it this time around!

Ava is a little shrimp--she's fallen to just the 10th percentile in weight for her gender/age, but she's still 50th percentile for height. Here are her 18 month (20 month) stats:

Weight: 21 lbs 13 oz (a teeny tiny bug!)
Height: 33 inches
She's still wearing size 4 shoes (although she'll probably wear 5 by the fall), size 12 month pants and 18 month shirts.

As usual, she's chattering non-stop these days. She is completely obsessed with all things mermaid and Dora (her first words this morning were actually, "I want tee-bee (tv). I want Doa (Dora)!" We might be in trouble with this one, lol;-)
