18m Checkup

Leilani had to go to her 18 month checkup on June 7th (her 18 month birthday). She impressed doctor and nurse by using words like polar bear (looking at a book) and phrases like “Thank you aunty” (when she got a sticker).

She is far ahead of her growth and developmental schedule and there are no other concerns either. She got 2 shots and a TB test within a minute and barely cried – and thanked the same nurse for the band aid and said bye-bye to her.

Her measurements:

Weight 25 lbs 5oz 11.5 kg
Height 33 1/2 inches 85 cm
Head Circumfrence      18 3/8th inches   47 cm

Leilani on marine life, Jojo and people far away

Leilani and I were looking at pictures of marine life, dolphins, whales, fish, anemones when she realized she wanted to watch her favorite fish, Nemo. Jojo came and interupted the session and finally Leilani thought of her cousin Kiron and how far away he is.
