18 Months

It seems like yesterday that we were celebrating Anna's first birthday and here she is at 18 months already! We had her check-up this morning and she's still on the path to being a very tall little girl at 34.5 inches (95th percentile) and weighs 26 lbs (75th percentile). These are not Mann family genes!

Anna is talking up a storm and seems to learn new words each day. She loves to list off the people's names. We'll be driving somewhere and I'll hear this little voice in the back saying "mommy, daddy, emmy (emily), sessa (alessia), monka (monica), wah-ey (wendy)..." and on and on. It's pretty cute.

I'm not exactly sure when it happened but all of a sudden she became a little girl. I know I'll miss a lot of things about baby-hood, but so far I have to say that toddler-hood is much more fun. It comes with a whole set of new challenges (tantrums, etc) but being able to really communicate, and play, and make each other laugh - well, it's all very exciting!
