Joe brought Layla to her 18 month appointment today and all checked out well! Joe said she only screamed 95% of the time:). Like normal, she was fine in the lobby--it's when she enters the room that flashbacks of getting poked must come back to her and she starts crying. I thought it was a good experience for Joe to have to take her to an appointment--haha, only kidding, Joe:). It did make me think though how difficult it will be when I have to bring RV in and Layla will be screaming even if we're not there for her! She might need to go to a sitter:). Layla is still small (shocking!), here are her stats:
Height: 31 3/4" - 25th%
Weight: 20 lbs - 3rd%
Head: 47.8 cm - 75th%
Her percentages for everything are very similar to where she's been at for awhile now--except at a year she wasn't quite on the charts for weight--at least she made it on now:). Thankfully the nurse today let her keep her diaper on so that may have helped:). She's doing good though, she's growing at the same rate which is a good thing. She just doesn't gain weight that easily. The girl can eat--trust me! Guess she could change to forward facing in her carseat now, but since she doesn't mind (or know better) being rear facing and they now recommend kids stay rear facing until 2, we'll probably just leave her rear facing since it's safer. She was able to get her 2nd H1N1 vaccine today too--they got them in yesterday--so that worked well! Now she's super safe from the flu:). Well, that's all for now. Hope everyone is enjoying the snowy day! I'll be staying inside as always:).

Rear facing until they are two!?!?! No thanks! Did you see on facebook that I wrote that Max and Layla weigh the same :)
Ha, yes I did see that (and just responded:D). That is funny!
Layla actually doesn't mind being rear facing even though she sees her friends face forward:). Maybe she likes that so that she can see them better:) I could see her making it close to two--it's only 6more months (hard for me to believe)! They actually recommend rear facing until 2 or until they reach the max height/weight requirement for rear facing for their carseat, so maybe Max will be too big to ride rear facing at 2:). Oh, and they say kids are 5x's safer riding rear facing so that's why we're doing it--well, that and she's just barely at the 20 lb recommendation!
