Mookie visits her new pediatrican tomorrow for her (late) 18-month check-up (long story I won't bore you with), so we'll have her latest stats. As of 3 weeks ago, she was weighing in at 22 lbs, 15 oz, so we'll see where we stand with that, and find out how tall she is. Her fave food is most definitely Goldfish crackers right now, but she's also loving ice cream & "Alligator" Krispies. They're the generic brand of Rice Krispies that have an alligator (or dragon, or dinosaur - whatever the heck he is) on the box, so she wakes up asking for "alligator" pronounced Ellison-style. We've had more potty excitement, but I'm not trying to get too crazy with it yet, as we have travel in our forecast. Ellison's got a lot of pointy tooth-wannabes poking through, so we're still dealing with teething issues, but they're almost all the way in. Ellison likes her usual toys, but for the most part she's most content "helping" around the house and getting into adult things. We're starting a new phase of 5pm meltdowns. (Sigh). They're hard on both of us. As soon as I need to be in the kitchen cooking dinner, Ellison suddenly panics, clinging to my leg, begging "Hold you!" while sobbing her heart out. I mean, you would think this child found her beloved Teddy hanging from the banister or something. Sheesh - is my cooking really that bad?! Anyway, she's getting REALLY good at breaking her mama's and daddy's hearts. One big change this past month - Ellison suddenly does NOT want her mom to hold her for the bedtime routine - it's all about Daddy. I'm trying not to take it personally, but what gives?
