Moving on Up!
To my big girl room. After weeks of trying to get my new room painted...it is done. Daddy did a great job and the stripes are even and everything. Now we just need to get some furniture and we'll be all set. Hopefully, Mommy's September 1st deadline will be feasible still. But for now, I just like running around the room and screaming (because my voice is very echo-y in the empty room). It's so much fun and I can't wait to move on up to my big girl room!
A week of appointments
After two hours in the ob/gyn office and another half an hour in the pediatrician's office, I'm done with doctors for awhile. But earlier this week, we did get to the baby on a little tv at the doctor's office. I apparently was really good while we were there and even very attentive when looking at the alien baby on the screen. The tech told Mommy and Daddy that the baby looks good and is growing really well. He/she's weight is about 1.5 pounds and we are measuring at an even earlier due date of December 4th. Now, we have four different due dates, so Mommy is giving up and just telling everyone that it will probably be sometime around the first week of December. Who knows, I showed up two days late for my party, so maybe this baby will come early.
While, we were there the tech asked Mommy and Daddy if they wanted to find out the sex of the baby and they told her no which was a good thing because baby had no intentions of showing us anything. He/She was all closed up and there was no way we were going to see a thing. He/She was also moving around a lot so it was hard for the tech to tell because of all the movement. But all in all, everything looks good and on track.
Later this week was my 18 month doctor's appt with no shots! Yeah! It was one of the faster appts. we have ever been to because Mommy didn't really have any questions and there were no shots. I am now weighing in at 24lbs 6 ounces and have moved up in my percentile to around 55% so I'm no longer a tiny little peanut. Mommy thinks I've gained some muscle from climbing all over the place. For my height, I am 32 inches and in the 65-70% range which Mommy knows is defintely not from her and I will most likely be taller than her. The doctor said that everything looked good and that he wouldn't need to see me again till my birthday. He did tell Mommy that now is the age that time outs can start working as a form of discipline. I didn't really like the sound of that. I'm just expressing myself when I scream and throw mini tantrums. Plus no one fully understands me cause I only have about a 30 word vocabulary at this time. It's not my fault that I know what I need and no one else does.

The words aren't coming out right
I feel like no one understands me. I talk and talk and all Mommy ever says is uh huh or ok. But that's doesn't even make sense to what I'm saying. Apparently, she wants me to speak her language and I'm saying a lot but it's just coming out so she can understand me. In human, non-baby language, I'm up to about 15-20 words.
Mommy's favorite is now for the past couple weeks I have been saying mama and really know what it means. It makes her so happy that I can say it, but I think she's worried that I'm gonna use against her or over use it. Other words that I have been saying now for some time and very clearly are: baby, ball, fishy, dog, kitty, dada (of course), shellshell (for shelly), cracker, uh oh, all done, all gone, nana (bananas), and I'm pretty sure I said apple today.
Last week, Mommy and I stayed in Cincinnati to help Grandma out with some things and of course, wouldn't you know it while we were gone I cut my 2 top molars at the same time. Mommy had just given me Cheez-its and was changing my diaper when she noticed that I had orange stuff on my gums (which turned out to be a tooth). Now that she recalls, I was chewing on everything for a couple days, but it didn't really seem to bother me.
The bottom two teeth were a whole other story. Last saturday was Aunt Jessa grad party and we had a blast and I even got to stay up really late (9pm). We were just going to stay at Grandpa's house but Mommy thought it might be better if we stayed at Uncle Kenny's so that everyone could get some sleep. She must be some kind of psychic because it was so much better that we were there because I ended up teething that night with my bottom two molars and was up about 4 times that night. Good thing Mommy thought ahead and brought tylenol and teething tablets or we would have been in a world of hurt.
Now for those of you who have lost track, I am now up to 11 teeth. The one tooth that I'm missing in the set is the one next to the big front tooth that I have in the front. I should also be getting my four canine teeth pretty soon as well. Mommy recalls that Dr. Matt told her at my 15 month appt. that the next months were going to be full of teething and he was right.
Next up for me, getting into my big girl room (once it is painted) and we are going to attempt potty training in the next few weeks with the 3 day method that Mommy learned from my music teacher. Here's to only having one kid in diapers at a time. Cross your fingers :)
