Liv 16 month checkup

Weight: 24.9lbs (75th percentile)
Height: 32.5" (90th percentile)

Liv is right on track for "normal" development.  She still can't say a ton of words, but according to the doctor "normal" for this age is 5-15 words, so she fits right into that category!  Words she can say are "Mom", "Dad", "Bop" - nickname for Jeter, "Abby", "no", "ball", "Paul", "Baby".....and there are a few others that I'm sure I'm missing.  She also makes more animal sounds and gestures.  Her favorite animal sound to make is a lion.  I remember Mia's was an Owl.  Liv is trying to climb on everything now and is such a little daredevil.  She is also super impatient and gets frustrated very easily.  For example, she wants to use her spoon so badly, but can't use it really well so she gets angry that she can't use it.  I end up having to take it away from her so she can use her hands to feed herself.  She gets over it quickly too though.....once I take that spoon away she'll just use her hands and pretend like she wasn't just angrily flailing her arms and legs 2 seconds before.  Liv is still super loving, but she is also terribly rough.  She'll hit or pull your hair and then laugh about it.  We try saying "no, be gentile", but she really will do it again and then laugh about it.  She is such a "trouble maker" and Greg and I know we're in for it with this one!  As Liv grows it is actually very funny to see just how opposite her and Mia really are.  Honestly, like night and day!
