18 months old

Holland turned 18 months on the 19th. We had her 18 month doctors appointment today and Holland did good. She weighed in at 28 pounds and 2 ounces and was a little over 34 inches tall. Those stats put Holland in the 99% for height and 90% for weight. Go Holland! We didn't get any shots this time. Holland only has 2 more vaccines to get, Hepatitis and MMR. We decided to wait to get those vaccines because we got Holland vaccinated for regular flu and H1N1 flu. That was a total of 4 flu shots for Holland. Poor girl! We figured she had received enough vaccines for the past 2 months. Dr. Mike said it was perfectly fine to wait until Holland is 24 months old for the last 2 vaccines. Holland said "good girl" during the doctors appointment and Dr. Mike asked if she was starting to put 2 words together. Kirk and I laughed and said, she's been doing that since she was 13 months. She is already putting several words together to make some simple sentences and questions. Dr. Mike said that is awesome. He also said, she is doing great!

We had Holland's 18 month photos with Dixie in Holland's two Christmas dresses. Holland had fun. She danced, played with bubbles, and ate cookies. We love Dixie! She is so great to us and does such a fabulous job! Here are 2 of the portraits Dixie did. You can also see them larger at this site: http://wwwdixie.blogspot.com/
