Hailey is 18 months old today!
Hailey's 18 month stats:
23 pounds 3 ounces (35 percentile)
32 inches tall (63 percentile)
Hailey has always been super tiny, but in the past 3 months she's grown 2 inches! We have noticed the growth because she is definitely looking a lot less like a baby and more like a toddler. Acting like one too. Hailey is very curious and always getting into everything. If her big brother can do it, she can do it too. She is such a happy girl and loves to laugh and smile. She already has 16 fully grown teeth too! One of our favorite Hailey trademarks is her walk and run. It is so cute how she shakes it side to side. She loves to run on her tippy toes too with the shake, and it's so cute! She sure talks a lot, although we've only been able to identify about 9 words/sorta words: mommy, daddy, ott (scott), more, bye, hi, yeah, uh-uh (no), ut-oh. She's trying though!
Hailey went to nursery today! Since I'm the nursery leader, Hailey has been in the nursery with me since she was 10 months old- but officially she went for the first time today to the class she belongs in. She has had so much fun with me and the three year olds singing, dancing, playing and having snacks and lessons. Her favorite song to sing in nursery is "the wheels on the bus" and she rolls her arms faster than any of the big kids. She also loves "3 little monkeys" and "head shoulders knees and toes". The older kids have really toughened her up, so I hope she doesn't pick on the younger nursery kids in her new class!
