Callie's 18 month check up

Callie had her 18 month check up and as expected, everything "checked out."  Unlike her giant big sister, Callie is only 60% for height (versus Sadie who was 98% at this point)!  She is also a bit heavier than Sadie - Callie: 22 lb 7 oz (45%) Sadie 21 lb 15 oz (41%).  Dr. Tim Sing called Callie "happy and explorative" and said that second children often don't have as big of an early vocabulary because "parents are smarter and know what their child needs by the second time around."  I think, however, that second children don't talk as much because they don't have as much attention and learning time as first children, lol.  She had one shot, and according to daddy, "she thought about crying but didn't."  At the time of her appointment she didn't have too many words, but in the last week she's had "a word explosion" as Aunty Jenn would say and now she can say a lot more words: mama, dada, baba, yes (with a nod), no (with a head shake), ball, Sadie, good girl (hehe), uh oh, wow, gramps.
