Today, Rylee is 18 Months Old! Ah! Where did the time go? She's really growing up quite gracefully, though. I enjoy watching the little girl she's growing into. She's so filled with life and personality. I couldn't imagine my life without her.
Rylee is 20 lbs, 6 oz, and 32 in tall. She's in the 5th percentile for weight and the 60th percentile for height. (She failed to thrive between her 15 month visit and her 18 month visit, but we're hoping it has something to do with her learning to walk in between the two, and not anything more serious. She is having some tests done to be sure on Jan. 16. Pray that everything turns out fine.) She eats 2/3 cup of infant/toddler cereal for breakfast, a morning snack, a fruit and grain bar and yogurt for lunch, an afternoon snack, and for dinner she usually has some sort of canned pasta like spaghettios or grilled cheese. She's pretty picky about the foods she eats, which could be a reason for her failure to thrive.. She drinks from a sippy cup, but she doesn't drink very much throughout the day usually between 10-15 oz. I offer her her cup several times per day, but she just doesn't drink very much, another possible cause...
Rylee wears size 3 diapers, size 18 Month clothes, and size 5 shoes. She has 15 teeth. She walks fully. She never crawls unless it's necessary. She has such a sweet little personality. She's shy to strangers and people she doesn't get to see very often, and she's definitely going through a "mama phase." She wants me pretty much all the time, but I really don't mind it one bit! :) She smiles and laughs a lot, and loves to play. She talks non-stop. She picks up new words what seems like everyday. She loves books. She'll sit down and "read" for a half hour and be perfectly content with her books. She also loves to be read to. She'll grab up a book and walk over and plop into your lap when she wants to hear a story. I feel like her love of reading is what gives her such a large vocabulary, and I'm very proud of my little smarty-pants!
