Our Big Girl


Clare isn't our little baby anymore. Everyday it amazes us all the new things she is doing. Today we had her 18 month appointment, which she weighed 23lbs and was 31 inches tall. She has leveled off on her weight gain but it is due to the fact that she is so active. The Doctor was very impressed by her verbal skills and her ability to recognize what objects were. She also was showing off for him by walking on her tip toes and running "fast" as she calls it. He was most impressed by the fact that Clare has started to use the potty all on her own. This was a shock for us as well. On Saturday, Mitch placed her on the potty and before he knew it she had actually gone "poopy", as Clare calls it, on the toilet and wasn't even scared. Since then she has gone pee a handful of times on the potty and is pretty good about going when we place her on it. Who knows maybe she will be easy to potty train? That would be nice so we don't have two in diapers.
