Abi’s 18th month physical, summary by Daddy

Back from the physical. Everything is good. We’re going to do the early intervention assessment for her speech, but the doc doesn’t think there is really likely an issue based on her receptive speech.

Vitals:

21 lbs, 13 oz, up from 21 lbs 1 oz. (Exactly on the same curve, between 25 and 10%)
31 3/4” up from 30 1/4”. Up to 66th percentile from ~50th percentile last time

Nuts aren’t an issue any more if she has had them and not had a reaction.

She is at or advanced where she should be in every characteristic except speech.

She feel asleep after her weight was taken and slept through most of the physical, but woke up right before her flu shot. :-/

Abi brushes daddy’s hair

Daddy felt threatened because she was holding the brush like a weapon.   I suspect Grandpa Leo feels avenged.

Abi, the future soccer player

She will chase any ball at the playground, even if the player is twice her height.  She even tries to go onto the soccer field when games are in session.  Abi practices her kicks with balls she finds.
