My 1 1/2 Year old Miss E!

Hard to believe that Doug and I are parents of a 1 1/2 year old Miss E already!!!!!!

Today We had Miss E's 1 1/2 year old apt. She is doing really well all around meeting all the little checklists they have.

I knew ahead of time the doctor was not going to be happy about us having her on 2% instead of Homo Milk. But Overall our doctor says she is doing really well in growth etc even though she would prefer according to the Health Unit Guidelines that she should be on HOMO until she is 2 for brain development. I know for a fact that she is super smart and I am not just saying that because I am partial or her mom. The puzzles she knows how to do..or sign language she is picking up or words we may only say once or already use everyday is amazing. We are always reading and listening to music and trying to do different activities for sensory development or art with her. I am a strong believe of learning through play and the world around her.

E now weighs 24.6 lbs and is super tall like her daddy. E is now 79 1/2 cm or 2 ft 7.3 inches in height. We can always tell how tall she is by how quickly she is growing out of clothes or now reaching door knobs to turn into rooms she knows she should not be in by herself..or reaching things on tables that are not meant for her wee hands alone or at all.

We had a shot today..which is the last one she will now receive until she is 4 Thank GOODNESS!!!! She hates needles...does not help that you have to hold her like the hulk and hope she does not wiggle free to try and take the needle out herself. She was making strange with the doctor today..and really lost it way ahead of the needle when the doctor tried to and checked both of her ears.

Other news about E..we are fully on sippy cups and also a water bottle style cup with the same stopper in the inside. I must say I love love LOVE Tommee Tippee products that are originally from Europe, only available at Toys R Us I believe. They are made really well and very brilliantly thought out.  E has 12 teeth that are all in..yes that is right she finally got her fourth bottom front tooth in folks..and also has all four molars in now.

We are dealing with a ongoing tantrum stage right now..testing out boundaries. Biting comes and goes..lately we are pinching and hitting..mostly me and the puppy that get the brunt of it. Daddy gets a little here and there but mostly the puppy and I. We are working on getting her to listen..counting used to work..sometimes we cry before two is even said..other days we are listening good as gold. 

All of a sudden we are sleeping almost 12 hours at night give or take..even if we fight going to sleep in the beginning. Naps are getting to be better again..fingers crossed they stay that way. We are going to move Miss E into her new big girl room this weekend once all of the last minute touches are put together. I am thinking it is going to be a long weekend..no pun intended..its a big switch for her being in a crib and going to a bed. I feel we will be doing a lot of stairs this weekend putting her back in bed until she falls asleep..unless she completely surprises the both of us. She really does love to spend time in her new room especially with all the new books in the reading area. So here goes nothing right! Moving our big girl into her new big girl bed...hoping all goes well..for we will have some adjusting to do in the weeks to come with our new addition heading into the world..her soon to be little brother!

Pictures to be posted soon! E loves the camera and each day is a new experience under the lens!
