Alexa now weighs 18 lbs 12 oz (90 percentile for weight, meaning she is bigger than 90 percent of girls her age) and is 26 inches long (which is 75 percentile for height.)
Her head remains consistently small at 25 percentile. She got a sleuth of shots, as always, she cried a lot when the nurse was sticking her, 3 injections plus one oral vaccine. But this time, when I picked her up, she immediately stopped crying! Overall, Alexa is doing great!
She mostly wears 12-18 month old clothes :) Alexa is a pretty good eater, she enjoys the food that I make her, such as organic blueberries, papaya, zuchini; but even more so, she loves table food! She is happy with anything she can get her hands on, literally. One of her favorite things to eat is paper, such as JoElle's artwork, computer paper, envelopes and mail, oh yeah can't forget receipts! Alexa has my receipts in her mouth just as soon as they hand them to me at any store. The other day at McDonald's, Alexa was chomping away at the receipt and the person working there pointed out that she was eating the receipt, I responded with a polite, yes I know, she likes to eat paper. The lady looked at me as if I were a little strange, all the while I am thinking how strange she is, who cares if she eats the receipt anyways? More fiber I've heard.
Alexa loves to chomp on bread, chips, fries, she ate black-eyed peas recently, can't forget bananas, she enjoys the crust of pizza, we let her have some chocolate birthday cake from JoElle's birthday party for her baby and her girl monster (one of her imaginary friends). Last week, she ate Orange Chicken from Panda Express, even though it is a bit spicy!
