18 Months

Abby is now and even 25lbs. and is 34.25" long. She's in the 75th percentile for weight, and she's still off the charts for height. She's also off the charts for head circumference! The doctor wasn't too concerned about it, though, since she's so tall.

Last night, I jotted down all the words Abby knows to get ready for her appointment today. She's up to 19! The paperwork they gave me today said that most babies know about 10-12 words at her age. And to think I was worried about her speech a month ago. Her doctor was also impressed at how well she babbled and talked with her hands. She's very expressive. Here's her list of words:

1. Hi
2. Bye-Bye (Da Da)
3. Vacuum (tacn)
4. Window (neno)
5. Light (Li)
6. Grandma (nena)
7. Daddy/Mama (Da)
8. Feet (tee)
9. Cheese (shesh)
10. Teeth (tee)
11. Keys (zzzzzzss) it’s always followed by car
12. Car (Ca)
13. Nose (Na)
14. Elmo (Lalala)
15. Thank You (tatu)
16. Shoes (shees)
17. Dog
18. Duck
19. Uh-Oh

Notice the word that's missing from that list? MAMA!!! She still calls me Da.
