7/2/10 - 18 Months

Today was my Friday off, usually spent at home with Olivia. But, today my mom offered to come pick Olivia up for the day so I could get some MUCH needed rest. So, once Olivia woke up, my mom was on her way to pick her up. I spent the rest of the day, feet up, snuggling with Chuy, watching some shows and just relaxing. It was NICE! I got the bills paid and got some paperwork around the house taken care of. It was actually a productive, resting day for me!

My mom met me at the clinic with Olivia because she is 18 MONTHS OLD TODAY!! Hard to believe. She had her appointment today to check up on her growth and all that good stuff. Her doctor was more than satisfied with her in every way. She is 25lbs (only up 1lb since her 12 month check), which puts her at 62% and she is 32.5” (up only .25” from her 12 month check), which puts her at 67%. She took quite a dive in her height stats, but they used the “baby scale” rather than having her stand against the wall, so I’m not sure how accurate that was. He was impressed with her physical skills and activity, and happy with her motor skill development. Her heart murmur is still there, but was back to being very quiet and “insignificant” this time, so he was comfortable letting it go this time. We’ll just have to keep monitoring it and check it again at her 2 year appointment. Other than that, she’s happy, healthy and perfect as can be!

I think it will be a pretty early night for us. We’re all pretty exhausted, the weather has been taking it out of us, and we have a long weekend ahead of us! So, should be a pretty low key night in our household!
