18 Months Old!!

Maddie turned 18 months old yesterday!!  We went to the doctor's today for her 18 month check up appointment. This time it was just a check up, NO shots!  We waited about 20 minutes in the waiting room but she did great, she mainly loved climbing up and down the big ottoman in the middle of the waiting room. There was more waiting inside the room after the nurse took her measurements. She loved running the length of the exam bed and making crunching noises as her feet ran along the paper.

She is still at the top of the charts for growth - 80th and 90th percentile in everything.

She is still on track or exceeding her milestones. There wasn't much to discuss since she seems to be ahead of the game. The doctor said she'll just get better with walking/running/climbing and we'll start to see an increase in her verbal skills such as mimicking more and stringing 2 or more words together. Our next check up is when she's 2 years old!  It seems so far away but I know it will be here in no time.

Official Stats:
Weight: 26.25 pounds - 90th percentile (up 2.75 pounds from 3 months ago at 23.5 lbs!)
Height: 33.25 inches - 90th percentile (up only 0.25 inches from 3 months ago, BUT I think it is because she was very squirmy while being measured, she seems so much taller, OR her clothes are shrinking!)
Head circumference: 47.5 centimeters - 80th percentile (up 0.5 cm from 3 months ago)

Here are some pictures from today at 18 months old!
