Makayla is 18 Months

The Monday we got back from Disneyland I took Makayla in for her 18 Month checkup. Here were her stats:
22.05 lbs-17%
30.51 in-17%
18.8 in Head- 82%

She is a little small, but she definitely has her mother's head:) She was exceptional at the doctors office this go around. She usually just screams at him the whole time. So this time he was able to hear that she has a silent heart murmur. Levi had one too at this age. They are benign and go away around 4-6 years old. She gaining so much personality and learning so much on a daily basis! She has been popping teeth like crazy this month. She only had 4 and then all of a sudden all 4 molars and 3 out of her other 4 front teeth have popped through this month. She is starting to run all over the place and starting to learn to climb. She loves to dance by shaking her hips and spinning in circles. She loves to pretend to use the potty, and sometimes even goes! She puts her Minnie Mouse stuffed animal on the potty and makes grunting noises for Minnie:) She has 3 obsession right now: Mickey Mouse anything, Doggies, and BABIES! She loves loves loves them! She is not scared of dogs at all and all but runs up and laughs and laughs as they lick her face! Even the ones taller than her! She totes her Minnie and Mickey around with her everywhere, along with her baby dolls. She likes to pretend to wrap up her babies, push them in the stroller, kiss them, and hold them. She adores baby Nora and always wants to pet her and see her toes. This girl is going to love her baby brother! She is constantly trying to say words and loves to mimic everything you do. I complain to Dan that I get nothing done because Makayla has to be doing everything with me. She loves to feel involved. She loves her brothers and tries to follow them and play with them all day too! Hard to do when those two are connected by the hip! Some things she says and does:
-Mama, Dad, Dat (Zack), Poop, Toot (Yes she has 2 older brothers), Up, Down, No, Top (stop), Don't, Hud (hug), yes, she tries to say toodles from Mickey Mouse Clubhouse "tooda", Day-tu (thank you), cheese (this girl loves to eat her cheese!), teet (treat), animal sounds for dog(roof roof), cat (July malu), bird, bud (bug), gorilla she pounds her chest, rabbit (hop hop), and probably many more. We love her sweet nurturing yet spunky personality. She is definitely a fearless little girl, I think has something to do with 2 older brothers! She was trying to swim like a fish in the bathtub the other night like her brothers and was not afraid of putting her head under! She is so fun to have around and constantly makes us all laugh. Especially with her hysterical fake laugh that she has! We love our Makayla!

Even though she looks mad in this picture, this is really her "cheese" face. Too funny!
 Her pose!
