[blparent] Savannah's 18 month update

[Nikki Fugett-Dobens]

Hi.  I'm not sure if this was already mentioned, it's hard for me to keep up 
with all my emails sometimes! Anyway, Mackenzie is 22 months, and we use an 
activity called crayola beginnings.  The faster you color, the faster the 
music goes.  This helps with artistic development, as well as music.  It's a 
pretty cool activity, there are several instrumental sounds the toy plays. 
We also give her washable markers.  She has been green and pink before, but 
she's starting to love to draw.
I hope this is useful for you!
    Nikki

> As i sit here and write this, it's hard to believe Savannah is 18 months 
> already. I don't know where the time has gone so quickly.
> I want to apologize for any repeated information. I can't remember what 
> I've written where lately.
> First the stats. She weighs 22 pounds 6 ounces. She is 32 inches tall. She 
> is well proportioned and right around the average mark for these and head 
> circumference.
> She still has ear infections in both ears. She will finish out her 
> antibiotic this weekend. She is also working on getting her molars which 
> isn't helping the ears. Diaper rash is getting better. I did get a 
> perscription from the doctor since the antibiotic causing this won't be 
> finished for a few more days.
> The doctor says Savannah looks great and she praised me for doing so well 
> with her. I asked if she had any concerns and if Savannah is on track. The 
> doctor says she's doing great.
> I tend to worry a bit.
> Savannah is starting to make sentences. She says  "I want milk" on a 
> regular basis. She has 2 other sentences that she's said a few times.
> I still haven't stopped to write down her words, so I am not sure of how 
> many she says.
> Savannah loves going for walks. We do this at least 4 times a day. Every 
> time I have to take out the dog, we have to go for a walk.
> We will be going to the zoo this weekend. She has been before, but when 
> she was only about 5 months old.
> My questions are, what else can I be doing with her. We read, do art 
> stuff, play with balls, she has a play hut she loves, a few leapfrog toys. 
> She loves music. She's finally getting into her baby doll and little 
> people doll house. She has a shopping cart and play food she loves.
> I'm just always looking for new things to do. I want to keep her as 
> stimulated as healthily possible.
