Happy 18th!

Today McKenzie turned eighteen months old.  We celebrated with a 18-month check-up at the doctor.  I know, special day!  The doctor said she looked great.  She asked if McKenzie was making any animal noises and we got to show off our favorite one.

What sound does a turtle make?  I'm slooooow.

McKenzie has given this response hundreds of times (Aunt Rebecca!), but I was surprised that she did it on demand for the doctor.  She didn't have any shots on this visit, so it was pretty quick and easy.  Her stats are as follows:

Weight: 23lbs 2oz  (32nd percentile)
Length: 32.5 inches  (75th percentile)
Head: 18.25 inches  (45th percentile)

Since her weight percentile creeped up just a bit and her length didn't, we are going to pay a little closer attention to her milk intake.  The girl LOVES milk.  The doc said 24 ounces a day is ideal and McKenzie is close to 30+ ounces a day.  More water, less milk was our only advice.

Lollipops offer a great distraction!

No mullet in sight!

After seeing the doctor, we headed to a salon for our little girl's first haircut.  Yes, she actually had a few hairs to cut.  She was dangerously close to sporting a mullet, so we decided to take action.  As you will see in the pic, she now has an adorable little bob that will hopefully grow in less mullet-like as the hair continues to sprout.
