17 Months

I know, every mom says this every month their child gets older and make it sound like it's so surprising that kids age just like the rest of it, but holy cow my kid's getting big! I took her to her 17 month well-check today (why 17 months you ask? Because I had terrible insurance and didn't get her 12 month shots until she was almost 14 months old when we had new insurance and then we had to wait longer for her 15 month shots and were just going to to 18 months, but then because we're moving to AZ I wanted to go to her doctor for this one so the result was a 17 month checkup. Whew!) and she is growing like a weed! Okay, maybe not a weed, because weeds are terrible, and Sophia is just fantastic, so she's growing like a very fast growing flower. :) Here's her numbers:

Height: 31.5 (Good grief!) 55th percentile

Weight: 22.1 (yeah, basically the same since November) 25th percentile

Head: 18.3, which is the 55th percentile

So yeah, all you people out there calling my daughter a chunk - check out the numbers! Okay, so really she is still pretty chunky on the legs, and I love it - I was just surprised that she's only in the 25th! Oh well. :)

She's doing great progression wise - she's been running and climbing for a while and the other day she jumped and got both feet barely off the ground, which is normally seen in 2 year olds! And I've lost count of how many words she can say - a few months ago it was more than 20 and now it's a lot more, and I guess average is 6-10. Not that it really matters, but I like that Sophie is progressing well. :)

Also, because it's been a while since I've done a Sophie post, here are some recent pictures of her:

Easter party with Daddy

Playing outside (she was very excited about those sticks she found!)

Yeah...I touched her book. It was not mine to open, but I opened it for her and she got very very mad at me...

....and then she got over it. :)

Yeah...I need to move her crib down to the lowest setting....like now. O_o

Sophie loves to play the piano - in fact I'm not allowed to play the piano if she's in the room. She will come over and remove my hands from the keys and take my foot off of the pedal. True story.

Yep, my little Evil Knievel training for the circus. :-\

All in all Sophie is a happy, healthy, and crazy little girl that I just love so very very much! To think that 2 years ago I was just barely pregnant and now I've got a little mini marvel on my hands! :)
