Victoria's 18 month check up

Victoria had her 18 month check up today. She has only gained one pound and is 19lbs even. Dr. G says he is not worried about her, as the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. She is doing well, overall. We just need to work on her speaking. She is very vocal, but not very verbal :-). She usually grunts or screams and points at what she wants :-). Her receptive language is great, it's just her expressive we need to work on.

She is into everything! If it is not tied down, she is on it! None of my other children are climbers, but she makes up for them in spades :-). We cannot leave any chairs out, or she will be standing on top of the table in two shakes! She still enjoys taking a shower with Katharine, and is walking really well, even running! She is such a joy, but very opinionated. I love her little spontaneous displays of affection, when she comes over and hugs and kisses me :-). She, however, does not appreciate it so much from her siblings :-). Oh, she is also "dancing". So funny! However, she all ready has more rhythm than her father :-)
