I took Gloria to her 18 month check up this week... Yes she just turned 20 months, but since it wasn't a shots visit I thought it easier to wait then go during the busy season of Christmas. Man, is our girl continuing to grow like a weed. She is 33 inches tall (75-90% what?) and 26 lbs (75%). She's wearing clothes Maddie wore when she was 2 almost 3 :) After having 2 little munchkins the Docs were always a little concerned with were eating/gaining enough, it's nice to have a very healthy baby girl with no worries. I laughed at all the questions they asked me, like is she running? Can she say 10 words? I think having 2 older siblings to keep up with has made her grow up quite fast. She seems even to be moving out of the toddler phase and on to a little girl too fast for me.
She is definitely our quirky girl with so much personality and is quite a mess (in a good way)! She's super silly and already has her own way of wanting things done and even style. She can be so serious when trying to tell you about something, or when someone is upset. She has quite the temper, though I'm hopeful she's being trained early to control it. She is sweet and loving too, loving to give hugs and kisses out, only on her terms though. Her favorite thing is playing with babies. You can almost always catch her with one in her arms. She treats them just like a little mommy and its sweet to watch her feeding them, changing their diapers, rocking them, reading and singing to them, putting them down for naps.
What a joy this third child has brought to our family, and we are thankful to God for her life. We love her so much.
Here's a video of her singing her favorite song as of now... (pardon my singing voice)
