Amaya Update

Here is my little spaghetti head (make that capellini head). She just loves to "help" in the kitchen. Amaya had her 15-month check-up this past Friday (the 27th). And much to our surprise, she's still not 20 lbs. Crazy considering how much food she can put away. Her eating ability has become legendary. The pediatrician said rear-facing she must stay for now. She doesn't seem to mind, so that's good. They say it's safer to stay rear-facing as long as possible now anyway. So, I guess that means we still don't have to buy a new carseat. I am glad I bought the super-duper version to begin with, since she's so long now. Our carseat holds a child up to 30 pounds and 32 inches long. So, anyway, she weighed in at 19 pounds, 13 ounces and measured 31.5 inches long (which I am actually calling 31 inches because the head line was drawn 0.5-1 inch past Amaya's head). She got 4 shots, bless her little heart. And her Dr. was very impressed with her development, particularily her vocabulary, saying she's "speaking" at a 20-month-old level. Little did he know her true talent lies in dancing. Smile, smile. That will be my goal for next weeks blog entry. To post a video clip of Amaya bustin' a move.
