Molly at 18 Months

We had Molly's well baby yesterday and thought I would share the results...

Weight: 19lbs. 9oz. (2nd percentile)
Height: 31inches (30th percentile)

The doctor told us the same thing he always says, "She can afford to gain a little weight." I can't believe how small she is for how she eats. I hope she keeps her metabolism later in life because that is all I can contribute her smallness to. She is such a great eater and is not picky. She eats whatever we eat with little or no complaining. I am thankful for that!

Molly says so many words now it is hard to even list them all. She is really good at holing a pencil and scribbling. She uses a spoon/fork to eat most of the time. She loves to be outside. I can't wait until we get the rest of the fence up so we can spend more time outside in the back. She loves to give cuddles, makes a "silly face" when we say the word, dances, hums, and continues to bring us joy everyday!

These are some pictures of Molly and Nick in the kiddie pool we got.
Nick has been busy working on a shed for us. I am getting antsy to get the whole yard done. We are getting concrete poured on Monday to extend our porch, the fence soon after that, curbing and then some bushes and trees. It makes me excited to think about.

So will you go with your Mom's philosophy about the number of flower beds in the yard, or your brother John's???

Don['t Worry about the weight...They are all small at that age. Tatum's old doctor went to the extreams with her and did tons of test including making her drink that gros chalk stuff and get x-rays without me because I was pregnat. Not good memories. She's just active and her little body is growing so fast right now. She's a cute girl! Are you coming to the reunion? I'm just going to the park. I'd love to see ya!
