Ava went to see Dr. Hirsch today for her 18 month check-up. Daddy met us there so we could all see how much Ava had grown. They tried to have Ava stand on the big scale but she didn't want to stand still so back to the baby scale we went.... 20 lbs. 11oz.(5th percentile) She has been little since the beginning and continues to grow at the steady rate. She was 31.75 inches long (54th percentile) and thanks to Grandpa Heckman her head circumference is 17.5 inches (6th percentile). Dr. Hirsch came in and checked out Ava. Everything is going well. Good sleeper, good eater, and she is hitting all her developmental landmarks. While we waited for the nurse to come back with the shots Ava fed the elephants some cheese curls and visited with the monkeys.
Ava only have to get one shot, Hep A and her first TB test. She did great although there were a few tears. We went to target to get a new toy, a magnadoodle, and to dinner.
At home we have had some of Ava's baby toys out so we could downsize via craigslist. Ava surprised us by crawling in the exersaucer when we got home from dinner while we were playing before bed. Too funny!
