18 months.. ish

so, i forgot that nora was supposed to get an 18 month check-up.  i finally remember last week (really not too late), and we had her appointment yesterday.  she is still in the 50% for everything, weighing in at 23 lbs, 14 oz.  she's about 31 1/2 inches.  i don't may much attention to what she's "supposed" to be doing...  i just know that she does what her friends do, and seems to be growing and doing more all the time.  but, it's still fun to hear what they say and compare.  like, they asked me how many words she knows.  i was like, "umm...".  i think the doctor got concerned.  she asked, "more than 10?".  oh my goodness, definitely.

okay, so that's off the top of my head.  and, the doctor gave nora a book!  she was quite excited.  today, her friend jeffrey is over again, and she couldn't be happier.  she just loves playing with him.  she kind of follows him around and just watches him...  then, she'll play with him, doing whatever he's doing.  (currently, they are putting the letter magnets on and off the fridge.  jeffrey doesn't have a fridge that can do magnets, so he loves to play with them here!!)  

she also puts sentences together... about two weeks ago, she asked me, "where dada go?".  now, she'll also tell me, "cock-a-doodle jeff-jeff house" (meaning we saw roosters on the way to jeffrey's house).  she was very fascinated by that.  alright.... more later!!!
