18 months!

We are into full fledged toddler mode. Keeley is into her world and loving it. We had her appointment today and she got her flu shot and one vaccine. I was pleased to find out that she has no more shots until 4. She hates being examined but the doctor said she is "appropriately" afraid so I shouldn't worry. She also HATES her shots. Everything about them is bad - having lay down, having to be held still, being poked and, horror of all horrors, having bandaids placed on her. Apparently bandaids do not agree with her fashion sense! The doctor said everything about Keeley was great and that we should expect her to have a vocabulary explosion in the next 6 months. She weighed in at 23 pounds (26%) and is 33.5 inches tall (89%). I suppose everyone that has referred to her as a "peanut" lately must be referring to her weight because she is certainly tall for her age. The doctor is unconcerned with how skinny she is because it is staying the same. The doctor said she only wished her proportions were similar!

Her hair is finally getting long enough to do something with. She rarely leaves any of the clips and bows alone for more than a few minutes so I have to snap my pictures quickly.

Reading to an unwilling listener.

Reading with Daddy.

Playing at the park. This has been a big hit over the past few weeks because she has finally learned to climb onto the equipment herself and slide down the slides alone.

I'm not sure two napkins is sufficient! She's eating baby food because she wanted it and it seemed perfect for her "soft food" restrictions. I had no idea what a mess it would make! Fortunately, she's totally into cleaning right now.

She though this was hilarious. By the time she had finished, she had stacked about 20 books this way. It is so funny to watch their little minds work.
