18 months

Tanya turns 18 months this weekend. She's about 10.6kg now, yet to take her measles shot so i'm not sure her height, but looks to be about 80cm? So I've checked with this and it puts her about 50th percentile. Although some have commented she looks big for her age? She's also got her her teeth except her molars, able to walk forward and backward, run and climb lots of stuff now. But not yet able to jump.

She fell from the stairs at my sis place once. Scared the heck out of my sis, who's alarmed shout scared the heck out of Tanya and me hehe... Small bump on her head that faded in about a day, so hopefully meant not a bad fall.

Foodwise, she's starting to be picky. Still taking 3 milk feeds a day, 180ml each feed. Starting to be naughty and assert herself when we least want it =) but also being really cute and cheeky otherwise.

A little grownup now, she's really no longer a baby. Makes me miss some of the things she did in the past. Like last time she would come kiss me at night when I was pretending to sleep. Super miss that! Hehe... Funny thing is, about a year back, I thought that this overwhelming emotion for her must be a instinctive response for us mothers to protect their offspring so the next generation will continue and the race will not die out. I thought it would fade as she grows older; yet I feel more for her now then ever before. I guess love knows no boundary huh =)
