18 Month Appointment

Last week Anna had her 18 month appointment. She's stretched out - she grew two inches and lost 1 1/2 pounds since her 15 month appointment. That puts her in the 95% for height and 60% for weight for her age. I asked the doctor if it was normal for kids to lose weight like that and she looked at Anna and said, "Well, she certainly isn't starving." So guess we're okay - all that running around she does nowadays burns off a lot of energy!
We went to Fargo this fall and checked out the zoo.


They have a carousel at the zoo so I thought it would be fun to go on it with her. This was right before the ride started. As soon as it got going Anna freaked out - she was completely petrified. Her whole body was just shaking and she wailed the whole time. We were the only ones on there but the operator didn't stop it for a long time and those things move fast! I even got a little dizzy. So lesson learned: no more carousels for a long time.

Here she is going up the stairs by herself. She wanted us to put Bucky's jacket on her and she was very proud of it - she looked like she had a superhero cape on so we got a chuckle out of it.

Braden didn't loss weight but he didn't gain any either and the doctor said it was busy they are so active now. Anna is beautiful like her mommy! Really miss you guys-even Martin!

Violet had that issue at the 1-year, but her ribs were showing. That was right when we took her off the cow's milk and voila! she was back on track with her weight at the next appointment. She's still wiry, but she has a wee bit of cute chub-chub on her legs now.

She can't wait to play with Anna and Braden again!
