Paige went for her 18 month well-check today. Dr. Herrbold said that she is doing really great. She is still petite, or course, but overall she is great. Dr. Herrbold just thinks she is going to be a small girl and as long as she keeps growing, we shouldn't have anything to worry about. So, Paige is now 18lbs and 10oz (which is still below the growth chart). She is 30 1/2 in. long (20th %ile) and her head circumference is 18 in. (25th %ile)
During the visit, Paige showed Dr. Herrbold how she pretends to pour tea in a cup, she stacked some blocks for him, and she pointed out a few body parts. Dr. Herrbold says that I should really challenge Paige at this age because toddlers are like little sponges. He encouraged me to teach her to recognize her letters and said that Paige should be able to identify all of them by the time she is two! Wow...really! Yeah, I agree that Paige is a little sponge for knowledge, but that seems a little daunting...all 26 letters (upper and lowercase)! Well, I guess we better get started!
