18 months old

Today Ruthie had her 18 month appointment. She is doing very well for her age. Almost everyday, Ruth is trying to say a new word. We are working with animal sounds now. She likes Old MacDonald sang to her and the sounds on her See n' Say. Ruth is also very mobile for 18 months as she tries to keep up with 3 older siblings.
The doctor says she is as big as an average 27 month old toddler. What a big girl you are. I know you will slow down in your growing. Our other children were in the 90% all through their toddler years but now when comparing them to their peers, they are average for both height and weight.
