Bug is 18 Months!

So before I start posting the Florida pictures, I can't let a certain someone's 18 month milestone pass without a mention!

Tatum June turned 18 months on Sunday. WHAT?!?!?

(You really should click on this picture to get the full effect of her cuteness!)

Seriously, she was just a little bean a few days ago, right? It couldn't have possibly been that long since our little Longhorn was born.

Current stats from the pediatrician appointment this morning:

Length: 33 inches (90th %ile)
The average length of a 2 year old

Weight: 26 pounds, 10 ounces (80th %ile)
The average weight of a 2 year old

Head Circumference: 19.25 inches (96th %ile)
The average size of a 4 YEAR OLD!

Holy crap! She's huge!

Dr. Pruitt STILL wants to know who her parents are. She's projecting out to be 5'7"! He still thinks she's gonna plateau around 24 months, but that remains to be seen. Her weight didn't go up as much as it has been though, so that's a good sign. She's more than half as tall as I am and she weighs almost a third of me! She definitely must have gotten some hidden Kirkland and Zeller genes somewhere.

She barely whimpered for her two shots this morning. She's such a champ!

For those of you who aren't in Tatum's world (yes, it is HER WORLD) that often, here's what she's been up to:

We have FIVE teeth! Two on top, three on the bottom and the poops to go with them, still.

Her vocabulary is HUGE, including: "Paw Paw" (Grampa), "woofs" (shoes), "wadum" (water), "nak" (snack), "otide" (outside), "nih nih" (night night), "didi" (binky), "lanky" (blankie), "uuk" (book), "moomie" (movie), "dotty" (potty), "ink" (drink), "bye!", "hi!", "Mama", "Dada", "Jack", "Pipur" (Piper), "teetee" (kitty), "doggie", "trUCK", "car", "up", "down", and so many others I can't even begin to type them all. I wanted to list some of the cute ones though. She's constantly talking. Got that? CONSTANTLY!

She runs, she jumps on our bed, she LOVES being outside, she looks for Dada every morning when she gets up, she loves the neighbor's trampoline, she reads books to herself, she LOVES Elmo, she's already wearing 2T and 3T clothes, she gives hugs and kisses all the time, she dances for Ellen, she loves on her doggies, she says BYE when I hang up the phone, and she has completely stolen my heart.

LOVE the pigtails! I can't believe she is so big - bigger than Jackson in some cases.

The picture of her with the piggie tails is priceless! She is too TOO cute!

When will there be a Zeller baby bean - round 2? Are you gearing up for another?
