With Riggins:
- She has learned how to tell Riggins how to sit and if the number of times she says it indicates how many times I have to say it, we need to work on his commands.
- She loves Riggins enough to put a hat on him or dress him up in her necklaces.
- Although he is very good with her, she does get stepped on or knocked over occasionally and the tears stream until Riggins wants to lick them away for her. He is so sweet.
- She tries to call him with her hand but you can't really get Riggins attention without a verbal queue.
Physically:
- 33 inches tall (90th percentile)
- 23 lbs (25-50% percentile)
- Walking and almost running.
- She has been climbing stairs for awhile but she is learning how to pull up on the couch, chairs, etc. We played at an indoor play area this week and she was a little cautious with climbing the stairs and going down the slide but by the end she was pretty comfortable.
- It is so cute when she wants help to get up on something she'll attempt to get up there then pat her bottom indicating she needs a little nudge. Precious.
- Her hair is coming in a little more but still not long enough for a clip.
- Teeth: 2 bottom teeth in completely; 4 front top teeth little over half way in; 4 molars partially in; 1 addional bottom tooth just appeared at the surface.
Eating:
- She is kinda hit or miss on what she will eat but overall eats good. She loves grapes, crackers, and cheese, but will eat broccoli and a few other veggies.
- Drinks milk and water at this point.
- Likes Sonic ice. It's a new treat in our house.
- She always eats a good breakfast. Favorites include Cream of Wheat, Oatmeal, waffles, cinnamon rolls, and fruit.
- Eggs: seems to have no reaction to baked in egg now. Tests indicated her level of allergy initially was 4.44, which is a class 3. Dr. T will test her again at 2 years old to see if her allergy is going away.
Church:
- Loves to go to bible class and has enjoyed going to ladies class with me and spending time with her class mates.
- She has continued to be good during worship service. She stays pretty occupied and quiet most of the time.
Words:
- She will now say hi and bye (selectively) and wave hi and bye more consistently.
- Include Mama, Dada, Dog, Diaper/Dye, Shirt, Shoes, Sock, Eye, Teeth, Mouth, Bath and I am sure many I don't recall at the moment.
- Signs Milk, Please, All Done, Apple
I can't believe how much she understands. She may not be able to communicate it back it but she knows so much. She loves to mimic mom and dad from cleaning to putting on deodorant. She loves to play chase and loves to be rescued if she things someone is going to get her. And her laugh, what can I say it is the best thing in the world to hear! It is so happy and joyful.

She wants to treat everything like a chair. Here she is trying to sit on the cement ledge under the bench in the stadium.
She loves her Aggies!

"I BLEED MAROON!" Makene fell at the game and cut her upper lip. She recovered very quickly but needed a nap on Daddy's shoulder to fully recover from the trauma.

Here she is on her 18 month day at the Aggie game against Oklahoma University. Too bad Mom didn't take her good camera that day. She looked so cute in her new hat and coat. It was cold!
Love you baby girl!
