Ashley's Report- she had a growth spurt?

This mornings visit to the doctor for an 18month well check had me chuckling. Of course this is the morning the girls decide to sleep in and like every other dr apt Ashley started crying just having to be weighed and measured. I'm thinking it's the crinkly paper she dislikes so much.

The dr. said she was glad to see that Ashley's weight was up and that she moved up a percentile. She was also glad to see that her head was almost back on the growth charts! I knew her head was small but when you say less than 5% I don't think negative, but she showed me and for the past 6 months and continuing fwd for a while I'm sure she will be off the chart.

Stats:
Height: 30inches 10% (grew 1")
Weight: 21lbs 15 oz 10-25% (she gained 1lb 13oz)
Head Circum. 44cm below 5% (grew .5cm)

Her language skills have clicked and she makes tons of animal sounds like mooing loudly for all to hear during church and growling while I try to read Rachel a book about Tigger at the library. She's finally saying mama and tries to say imitate the sounds of whatever you say todays was "rude". She's also jumping with both feet off the ground, every third try since her timing of it is all off, she climbs and is tip toeing now, and sliding down slides head first trying to keep up with big sis. So no matter how small her head or short and thin she is I know and the doctors not concerned with her learning and progressing.

Sunday she started nursery! She was very good they said, and she really connected with one of the leaders so as long as she could see that one leader then she was reassured that all was okay.
