Ella went for her 18 month well baby visit today. She is doing great. She is 33 1/4" tall and 24lbs. We finally are catching up on the weight charts. We talked about her speech since that was a concern of mine. Several kids her age are in speech therapy and well, I am an overly concerned parent. But he assured me she is doing great and says that she is right at or above a 2 year old level and that I have nothing to worry about. Apparently at this age kids need 5-10 words and we are well over that. Dr. Mark actually laughed at me as I pulled my list of words out from the diaper bag. His opinion was confirmed when Ella looked at him and said "lollipop". Every child deserves a lollipop after a visit with the doctor. She also got 2 shots today, but will not need anymore until she is 4 - except for her annual flu shot. That is awesome! And she doesn't go back until she is 2. So all is well in the world of Ella. I have some pictures of her from her visit that I will add when I get them uploaded.

I can't believe that she's already 18 months. Our little Ella's are growing up so quickly it's almost heartbreaking.
