Our little Swiss Miss is now well over a year and a half! We had her well check up a bit ago, and here are her latest stats. Her weight is 25.5 pounds, putting her in the 67th percentile, and her height (32.5 in) has her in the 74th percentile. So, she's still a bit ahead of the physical curve, but no longer way ahead... speaking of a head... hers is still 86th pc. What can you do? Alisa has been wearing 18 mo clothes now for quite awhile, and can handle one occasional 2t size now and then. She pretty much skipped an entire shoe size, and for awhile her and Amelie were sharing shoes, but Amie is just starting to grow out. I take everything - clothes, shoes, socks, swimsuits - and move them right from Amie's drawer to Lisie's. Love it.
There is a long list of the fun things Lisie is now doing. She's well beyond walking and running, and now she has some really great dance moves. One of her trademarks is a super-cute "Gake Goo" (thank you) when you give her anything. She can also help you count to three, and she's really good at "no" and now even "no way." My favorite thing she just started doing is nodding and shaking her head. She can understand you when you ask her questions, she uses them correctly, but overexaggerates them - so adorable. She repeats a lot, though, and can say many things. It's just hit and miss as to what she remembers. She can show you her feet, hands, head and nose, and we're getting there on all the other body parts. There's a song they do in the nursery that she absolutely loves, and will sing it all day long (it's the Bears in the Bed.) She loves any song with actions she can do, but rarely sings herself. Her true loves are climbing everything, slides, and anything and everything that Amie is currently playing with. She gives kisses now, too, wet ones.
She's been having a tough time with her diapers lately, and so our doc suggested we try soy milk for a week and see if it makes a difference. This is day 3, so we're still not positive if it is a milk allergy or not, but it does seem to be a bit better.
Lisie is a bit discriminating with her affections. They're very fickle and depend greatly on her mood, hunger status, fatigue level, recent memories and current circumstances. I think this is just fine - personally, I can't stand it when strangers complain about her demeanor or "crusty looks." Honestly, I'd be more worried if she ran up and gave every random person a smile and a hug and crawled in their lap. Mostly, Alisa Danielle is just fearless! She walks off edges, jumps, climbs, mounts, crawls over/under, runs around, you name it. And plenty of those times she falls, but it never deters her. We're so glad to have her and I can't wait for an eternity to come!
In other news, we moved Amie into a toddler bed a few nights ago. She loves it, but ended up sleeping with me half of the night last night, so... we'll see. She's all of a sudden developed fear of the dark, so we're still working out all the bedtime woes.
