Just another Manic Monday

Well, Claire's big bed trial has gone swimmingly so far! The first night she slept in it was Saturday, and she was sooooo tired. She had only about an hour nap all day and she was up about an hour past her bedtime, so when it was finally time to go to sleep she just laid down and didn't move! Tonight was her second shot at it and after getting up three times and pitter pattering down the hall to Grandma, Grandma laid down the law and she was asleep in 10 seconds!

Big Girl Bed

Well, Claires BGB arrived yesterday! We came home and put it together and dressed it all up in her Winnie the Pooh sheets and blanket. Once she woke up from her nap, she went over to Grandma's to check it out. She liked climbing on and off, on and off, on and off, then she leaned back against the pillow with her drink and said "Ahhhh", pointed to the TV and got comfy! The real test will be tonight when Chadd and I go to play Bunco and she has to go to bed at Grandmas! Hahahhahahhahaha (<--- evil laugh!)

Claire's 18 month checkup!

Today Claire went for her 18 month checkup. She is growing like a weed! She is now 33 1/2" tall (95th percentile), 26 pounds (80%) and her head is 19" (95%)! Dr. Rahman asked if she knew at least three words and we were happy to report her vocabulary of "Juice", "shoes" and "fish". She also says "Woof" for doggie, and often tells them to "Shhhh!" when they are barking with a finger to her lip and all! Dr. Rahman said she might be a little bow-legged, but only in her left leg, and she will probably grow out of that by the time she is two. At the end of her visit she got her last shot until she is 4 years old, and she didn't even cry!! Not even a whimper. She definitely gets that from Chadd! She's got a little cold right now so maybe it's because she was too doped up on Benadryl and Triaminic to care? :)
We are about to depart on another new adventure soon, Claire will be moving to a big girl bed in the daytime. The crib at my Mom's house was recalled, so we will be taking that back (obviously) and we have decided to just go ahead and replace it with a toddler bed. I'll let you know how that goes!
