Just a quick post for all my blog friends. Was checking out
Blogger's news and saw a mention about this service,
Blog2Print. Basically in a few short minutes you can turn your blog (or any part of it), including pictures and comments, into a hard or softcover book. And it's really not that expensive! Great idea for anyone hoping to turn their blog into a more permanent keepsake.
In a quick Addie update, she had her 15-month well-baby visit yesterday. She's doing awesome - 26 lbs and 32 inches, which is about the 90
th percentile for both! My doctor said she's the "average size of an 18-month old" - no wonder she's wearing 18-24 month stuff : ) She also got two shots and aside from a moment of S.C.R.E.A.M.I.N.G, all was fine. She even waved bye to the nurses so I don't think she's holding a grudge against them for the needles.
Her communication is expanding daily - her words now include:
mamma,
dadda,
doh (dog),
bubba (bottle), up, and "hi", which she just started working on yesterday. But the most amazing thing to me is just how much she understands now. When I say we're going upstairs to change her diaper, or to get ready for "school" she just nods and heads for the stairs. She'll often walk over to her highchair when I say it's time to eat, and she nods confirmation whenever appropriate. It's very cute. She's also signing "more", "eat", "milk" and "all done" - none of which I taught her. All daycare.
She's doing great integrating into the toddler room and two weeks into it, the occasional tears have all but stopped. She's having fun with all the kids, enjoying the big outdoor space complete with sandbox, sit and push toys and cars, and this plastic playhouse that she loves. She also doing great sleeping on her little cot, and I can't believe she'll nap for 1.5 hours on that thing surrounded by 19 other kids. Crazy.
I know I'll probably jinx myself but we're in a good little routine right now. She goes to bed anywhere between 7-7:30 and sleeps until about 6:30. On the weekends she naps for about 2 hours, which has been amazing for us. Her routine is pretty predictable, which everyone said happens around this age, but it's so nice. Now of course as soon as I've written about how "nice" this routine is, it will change. This is always the way it goes, but I'm going to enjoy it while it lasts.
So that's the short update. Hope everyone has a great weekend!
