Happy 18 months Peyton!

Holy Cow my baby is 18 months old already! WOW!

That means little Jo is only 3 tiny months away from being 2 years old!!

Peyton weighed in at 23.5 lbs, 31 inches tall. I can't even tell you where that is percentage wise because I was more concerned about the pneumonia and ear infection she was diagnosed with at that appointment. I walked out without the charts! Dummy.

She had her 2nd chest x-ray in her life already. She had one at 4 months and now another at 18 months. I couldn't be in the room with her since I am hosting a baby creation party of my own. It was hard to hear her cries through the walls. Of course when they took the picture she stopped crying, I heard the nurse say "sure you stop crying when we want the air IN your lungs", they had to re-take that x-ray. She had viral pneumonia. Started Antibiotics on Friday and she is already looking and feeling better. Still got the runny nose and cough but it is all a whole lot better.

As far as the newbie goes, I got to hear the heartbeat and some movement, actually a lot of movement. I am 15 weeks, oops maybe just turned the 16 week mark. I made my next appointment for the end of March and a week after that we get to find out the sex.

Up top is a pic of Peyton on her 18 month birthday, we pretended March 1st was the day since there is not a 30th in February. I asked her to smile and this is what I got.

What?? Smile? Are you kidding?? This was the first request.
After she smiled (pic up top) I said "yay, good job" and this is the smile I got after that. This one shows her personality better.

Her hair is getting so long and it hurts me to think of cutting it, but we may have to do something. How about pigtails??

No way on earth I could get her to let me do this.

Thanks Grand Ma Peggy for taking the pictures!

And thank you for the pig tails!
