You had a check up. Here are your results:

Head size- 44 cm (60%)

Length- 27.5 in (55%)

Weight- 19.7 lbs (60%)

You are thriving and growing right on track!

You are starting to voice your opinion on everything. You are very animated, you can really tell what you like and what you don't like.

You get mad. When you don't like something, you almost throw a mini fit. I'm kind of scared for the future in this department.

Your hair is getting longer and it looks a little reddish.

Your first steps were last week. You took about 3-4 steps. What!?!

You are pretty much eating everything. When there is food out, you want it! We have just been cutting it up really small.

You still aren't sleeping through the night. Dad decided to take it into his own hands, so I slept in my room with a noise maker on and he slept on the couch for 3 nights and made you cry it out. It worked for about a week, and then you got sick. And now we are back to our old bad habits. You are one stubborn girl.

You have Dad wrapped around your fingers. He has helped out and done more for you than any other baby. Don't tell your sisters.
