18 Month Checkup and Afternoon with Nate

Sophie had her 18 month checkup on Monday morning. She was so good at the doctor's office. Dr. Bigham was impressed with how easy the exam was. She didn't resist him looking in her ears, nose and even opened her mouth and stuck out her tongue when he asked. She weighed 21lbs and 14oz (between 10th and 25th percentile) and was 30 1/2 inches tall (25th percentile). Her head measures in the 90th percentile:) She has been consistent with her growth and stayed along the same curve so the Dr. isn't worried at all. She is just a little petite. She got four shots and did pretty well. She even said "yay" after the first one, but then it started hurting and she cried. 
After lunch, Nate came over to play while Katie went to her appointment. They had so much fun playing together. They had their own conversation in baby noises back and forth. I think Sophie was all played out by the time they left (she even tried to lay down while he was still there). It didn't take but a minute to get her to sleep and I even moved her to her little couch where she slept for over 2 hours. 
While she slept, I made chicken casserole, lima beans, mashed potatoes and macaroni and cheese. Grandmama, Grandaddy and his coworker Jeff came over for dinner. Sophie really likes attention and pretty much demands that any guest is paying attention to the cute things she is doing. The picture of her and Grandmama is to show her eating Grandmama's cookie. She knows who to go to when she wants food:)
