Kassie's 18 month stats



Kassie had her 18 month well child visit last week. I was a little nervous about what Dr. McKenna would say because the day before Kassie pulled my hair straightener on to her face (of course it was hot) and had a burn mark on her check and on the side of her nose. At Kassie's 12 month check up Dr. McKenna had warned me that the 3 most common reasons kids her age get hurt are swallowing pennies, drowning in the toilet and burns from curling/flat irons. Well he didn't give me to much grief about it. He said I was lucky that it just missed her eye and eye lid or it could have caused more serious long term damage. Kassie had also fell and bit her lip pretty bad so she looked like a mess with the burns and fat lip. Dr. McKenna told Kassie that she was acting more like a little boy then a girl.

As far as her checkup she weighs 25 pounds (60th percentile) and she is 32 3/4 inches tall (80th percentile). She only had to get 1 shot and she was really brave and didn't cry at all. She fussed more about having to lay down on the table to be measured and to be prepped for the shot.

As far as personality I told Dr. McKenna that she has serious attitude and is very stubborn! He said that "Attitude determines altitude" so she will go far in life.

Well, I don't know if attitude runs in the family or not, but if attitude determines altitude we may have Kassie, Makenna, and Avri ruling the world some day or something! Kassie is so cute and growing up so fast!!

She is a darling girl - and the talking will come. Hayden went through a big screaming phase right before he started to talk, so hopefully, she's on her way!

I had fun tonight - thanks for your great classes!
