Our baby is one and a half!! She is definitely emerging into quite the toddler. We went to the doctor today for her 18 Month Check Up. That went great. She has grown almost 2 inches and gained almost a pound and a half. She is 31 3/4in and 21.8lbs, still in the 12th percentile for weight and soared into the 50th percentile for height.
Not too much new to report on. She is still very active and saying more and more everyday. What has become quite apparent is how smart she is - she is like a sponge! I caught her being really quiet yesterday....there I find her with my iPod plugged into the USB of the computer! Who knew? She has also learned how to take off her pants...and her diaper...this is mostly funny at this point. Chloe is also getting very into the pretend play. She makes me put pajamas on her bear, socks on her bunny and I am constantly feeding and diapering her baby doll. She also has a purse fetish!! She loooves purses and bags. She was wearing 4 on her arm at once two days ago. It's adorable to watch them play at this point. She still refuses to sit still and read...I hope I can find the right books or that she will grow out of this a little bit here soon. Other than that - she is still a very healthy and happy baby. And we are very thankful for that!
Here is a little flashback to one year ago....awllll.
We just had a visit from the Kell grandparents and Auntie Andie and cousin Claire. It was a really fun 4 days. Next - Bermuda to see Nana!!
Brad and I met at Ohio University in the fall of 1998, our freshman year of college. After university ended, Brad went home to Mansfield for a few short weeks and then ended up here in Virginia. I went home to Bermuda for a few months and eventually followed suit and moved to Virginia to be with Brad in February of 2003.
Brad proposed on Valentines Day 2004 and we were married June 11, 2005 in Bermuda. Our family and friends were all there to share in our special day and it truly was a spectacular wedding and trip.
We purchased our condo in December 2005. It's only a one bedroom, so the baby will be sharing a room with Mommy and Daddy, but we don't mind!
So, here we are, over 10 years after our first encounter with each other, preparing to have our first baby! Happy Anniversary to us!!
We are both very excited and nervous regarding the arrival of our precious little girl. We cannot wait to meet her and she could be making her debut any day now.
