I don't even know where to begin... So I'll start with the well check...Daphne is weighing in at (10-25%); unfortunately due to her dislike of going to the Doctors Office we were unable to get an accurate length after multiple tries but she is at least in the 50%. Daphne is ahead in her gross motor skills...she can gallop and jump getting both feet off the floor. She can kick a ball and throw a ball straight to you. She can use both spoon and fork pretty well and insists on doing anything to do with feeding by herself...oh, and forget highchairs or booster seats...she wants a regular chair. She is still the reigning champ for MESSIEST EATER...no wonder she is soo thin...the food is all over her and the floor...the funny part is she is able to get the utensils to her mouth accurately...I can't wait until we can eat all our meals outside! Oh, and she continues to be a very picky eater...just recently she will now allow vegetables to pass her lips and even takes a few bites before spitting them out....thanks to her big brother gnashing on them without hesitation...she wants to do whatever he does...hopefully at least this aspect will go in my favor. Daphne likes everything and anything girlie but has no qualms about getting dirty and acting like a tom boy to keep up with her brother...she is quite the wrestler and enjoys all types of sensory input...she is sure to love amusement rides this summer. Language acquisition is coming right along with over 3 dozen words. She continues to incorporate her sign language as well. Her recent accomplishment is to yell at Ethan in a voice that sounds like goose squabble while shaking her finger at him and getting right up into his face...jeez I wonder where on Earth she learned that...
