18 months

Claire is now 18 months!! Amazing how time flies. It is also interesting to think of where we were when Lydia was 18 months. I was 7 months pregnant with Claire. Lydia seemed to grow up so fast once we had Claire. Claire hasn't seemed to need a younger sibling to make her grow up. (I guess she has the older sibling that she wants to be exactly like.)

I keep calling her my baby, and Lydia constantly reminds me that Claire "is not a baby. She a toddler." As much as I miss her as a baby, I love watching her change and grow and learn new things. She is talking up a storm. I am amazed at what she can do with her language. We'll have to post some videos of her talking. It is funny and often pretty clear.

Claire is definitely my tiny one. We had her 18 month doctor's appointment and she is 19 lbs 5 oz. Below 5 %. (Lydia weighed this much at 12 months.) And if you actually look at the chart, she is WAY below the 5 %. She is 31.5 inches (which is 50%) and her head is 18.8 inches (which is 75%). So, she is an average height lightweight with a BIG head. :)

Well, to give you an idea of how she has changed, here is Claire every six months since birth.

18 months...she has started scowling at us and making funny faces. It cracks us up!!
We love our sweet little Claire and love watching her change and grow and develop her little personality. We can't wait to see what the future has in store for our little sweetheart!
