We went for our 18 month appointment Monday and she checked out well.
Weight: 22 pounds (18%)
Height: 32inches (70%)
Head: 19 inches (96%)
We were informed that Millie might end up being taller than both of us! Millie is doing great in her big girl bed. She has been a bit sick these last couple days. Coughing and runny nose. I was unsure weather to leave her at home today but I think she will be alright. I told the teacher to call us if she seems to be getting worse.
Here are some details about 18-24 which Millie is hitting each of these with ease!!
