Adele turned 18 months old on Friday, Nov 7. I know I say this everytime she hits a major birthday milestone, but GEEZ! How did this happen? EIGHTEEN MONTHS? Criminy.
Height: 31.75 inches
Weight: 20 lbs, 9 ouncesHead: 18-something inches (I don't pay too much attention to this stat anymore.)
Her height is now in the 50th percentile for her ACTUAL AGE. That means she is perfectly average height for normal, full-term 18-month-old!! Holy cow. If we adjust that for her gestational age it's somewhere in the 90th percentile (I think--I don't have the chart with me now). Her weight is still on the low side, coming in around the 5th percentile for her actual age. The doctor looked back at Adele's charts and noticed the highest percentile she hit was 25th right around when she was 5 or 6 months old. The doctor isn't concerned, really, since developmentally she's fine. She doesn't think it's a nutritional deficiency or any sort of metabolic issue, so that's good. It's probably a combination of genetics, catch-up growth, and the fact that she's an on-the-go toddler. She looks healthy, though, so I'm not going to worry about it too much.
She finally sprouted her two top eye teeth, so that makes a grand total of six. Sigh. Poor kid. Someday she'll catch up in the dental department.
Here are the most recent pictures:
Because I am THE cheapest and laziest mom on the planet, Adele's "moose" Halloween costume consisted of her brown pants, inside out brown sweatshirt and "antlers" from Target. Next year I'll do better. I promise. Hey, she still looks cute, right?
Skeeter wanted in on the action.
Her "Mummy Loves Me" Halloween shirt. And I posted this pic mostly because of her sweet, sweet face.
A few weeks ago, my friend Joanne and her daughter, Maggie, came over for lunch. Maggie was born 2.5 weeks before Adele. Maybe she can loan Adele some hair.
Adele and Daddy enjoy one of the last nice fall days.
The Foot Book is always a favorite.
We made a trip to Wichita last weekend to help Steve's mom with some work around the house. Here she is with Adele during our Pei Wei lunch. Mmmm!

She is so beautiful, D :-)
She has thinned out a lot in the face it seems! She is sooo cute, Darrah. You're right, not much hair, but that makes her look all the more sweeter. I can really see you in her face now too! I'm really bad at seeing things like that, so sorry it's taken me so long to recognize that. haha
No, I'm the laziest mom ever. I lost the costume I bought Charlie... oops.
He'll never remember. She sure was cute, though... I think homemade costumes are better anyway because they require more thought.
Skeeter is awesome! I'm surprised he'd let you put that on his head.
Charlie will be 17 months this week... LORD where did the time go?!?!?!
