The Amazing Growing Girl

Today we had Mckinley's 19 month appointment and the results are in...Mckinley is still a giant! :) She actually has had a crazy growth spurt in height (she is well above the 95% at 34.5") and is still chugging along in the 95% for weight (29.5lbs)--at least she is proportional! All those green beans and peas are doing her little body good I guess.

Apparently all her books are doing her good too because she is already hitting the 2 year milestones for her verbal communication---that list of words Kevin made a while back in response to my "bragging" post has more than doubled! :) She is still holding out on saying love though---how difficult can that be? You can say purple but not love? I don't believe it!

Now we just need to work on the playing nice (something we manage half the time) and the dreadful potty training--which I am terrified of. I don't think she is quite ready to start with the whole no diaper/toilette thing but it isn't too far off either. I'm holding off as long as I can! At the same time though, potty training is not really something I want to be in the thick of when we have newborn either.

So the appointment was a success (less one shot!) and the doc confirmed it--Mckinley is perfect in every way. Just as we thought!

She may not say love yet (she will when she is ready) but she said gramma twice!! That is enough love for me for now :). She is just like her mom, will do things on her own schedule when she is good and ready.
