Ava is growing slowly but changing immensely. She is now 18 months old and continues to get into and climb everything. She is not one for words (she has only about 5 – and that might be an exaggeration) but she is able to make her needs and desires known. My cousin recently said that having her around is like a little Curious George. She gets into everything and points and makes little monkey sounds when she wants something. While she doesn’t use words, her little sounds let you know if you’re hot or cold in meeting her needs.
Her doctor’s check-up revealed that she’s still quite petite with the exception of her head. She’s in the 5th percentile for weight, 15th percentile for height and the 94th percentile for head circumference. Love the Rubalcava cabeza!
Ava loves to get dressed up but has an interesting sense of style. One of her favorite things is to get into Ethan’s underwear drawer and put on his underwear. Here she is in 4 pairs of Ethan’s underwear (which are on backwards) that have been pulled over her pj’s (which are scrunched underneath). Then she went and put on her hoodie and found me to help her zip it up at which point she wanted her shoes and was ready to go. What style girl!
Ethan finally had his first full dental appointment with a complete cleaning and x-rays and he did great! Not only did he have no cavities, but also he went right and did the whole appointment like he was Mr. Independent and knew just what to do. I wish I could say the same for his blood draw that we had to do afterwards. After I told him of our next stop he cried all the way there, screamed when they called his name to go back to the lab, and whimpered for about an hour afterwards. It was a “Serenity Now!” morning after the dentist.
