Say, What?

I took Miranda in for her 18-month checkup. She had more fun looking at the fish (vision her little lips making a sucking noise here) than she was interested in meeting her doctor. Still, she did great. She's 33.25 inches in height (about the 90%; for those of you who aren't moms, that means she's Tall), but still a lightweight at only 24lbs and 13oz (which is about the 60%, meaning she's close to average). She's growing right on target. She's met and exceeded her developmental milestones (talks in sentences- some of which you can actually understand now, climbs, goes up/down stairs, runs, "pretend" plays- I caught her teaching her doll, Charlie, about cuckoo clocks yesterday after I told her that Grandma has one, and has hit the tempter-tantrum phase, UGH).

The other interesting find- she had double ear infections. I checked her ears last week when she'd had a fever for 2 days. They looked red, but not infected. I asked the pediatrician if I could take a peek at them, too- just to make sure I was seeing what he was seeing. They were definitely different, so I am thinking my diagnostic skills aren't too shabby- except she was less bothered the last few days. I wonder if they were already getting better? Still, her nose is goopy, and she has a short fuse for crankiness, so maybe these antibiotics will help that department, too. It's nice to have my happy girl, back.

Oh, and I've updated her TODAY page. I also updated the months I've missed on the Old-Today pages, and I fixed up Megan's and Zoë's pages. I was behind by about 4 months. Can't imagine why I haven't kept up...

Here I am, almost 25 weeks along.
Megan and I were enjoying our oatmeal.
Miranda loves to wave to the bus when it comes to get Zoë.

Can you tell who is ready for the day? (i.e. waiting for the bus)
