18 months

Kara Brooke,
You are a year and a half old today!!!  Why in this world do you have to grow up so fast??  Really, I can not imagine life with out you; you bring so much laughter to our home and your sweet personality makes me want to just eat you up....Oh but when you get mad....whew it is NOT a pretty sight!  You for sure get that from your Daddy...what a temper you have little girl!!!



We went to see Dr. B. yesterday and you are just getting so big.  You weigh 25 pounds and 10 oz. which is the 75th percentile {a lot better than the 97% that you used to be when you were born! ha!}, you are 33 3/4 inches tall which is in the 97th percentile.  Dr. B. said,"I knew the day this kid was born she was going to be a tall girl!"  I hope that means you will be a great basketball player!  Dr. B. also was trying to make an arranged marriage with her little man but I told her you were already taken by Nate.  You recieved 3 immunizations and your seasonal flu shot.  You cried for just a little bit but you are a big girl and really liked the sucker that the nurse brought to you.  Also Dr. B. said that you have a sinus infection and gave you some meds to get you over that.


You finally have more than 4 teeth, you have 7 almost 8.  You still eat pretty good.  Some of your favorite foods include; mac & cheese, green beans, green peas, chicken, fruit, popsicles, suckers, candy, doughnuts, really ANYTHING! ha!  You repeat everything and you are trying to say everything some of your best words right now are Dada {you think everything in the house belongs to Dada as you point to it and say Dada!}, Mama, Nana, trassshhhh, shhhhh, Dax, dog, bite, yes, KK, dis {this}, mine, Bubba {Nate}, babe and bye bye.  Your vocabulary is growing everyday and we really have to watch what we say or at least Dada has to watch it! You can do the motions to "Itsy Bitsy Spider" as you mumble.  You love to be outside and with winter coming you are not going to like that we have to stay in and play.



You are really doing better with the whole biting thing and now we are getting a handle on how mad you get when you don't get your way.  Wheewww....it has been a challenge as you are totally opposite of your sister.  Dr. B gave my some reading material to help us handle your temper tantrums and Mrs. Amy also gave me some good books to read.  You will get there sweet girl; it's not all your fault, you just have too much Adams' in you! Bless your heart!!!


You love to give hugs and kisses and it is just so sweet when you pucker those little lips up.  Also you make kissing noises when you know you have done something that you should not have...you for sure know how to work your Mommy!!  You are just so smart and learning so many new things everyday.  I wish we could just slow time down.....
I think God everyday for you and so happy that he saved you just for us!!!

Happy 18 month birthday little sister!!!
