We brought Sheri to her 1 year old's check up last week. She now weighs about 21 pounds and she is 31 inches long. That brings her to 50 percentile in terms of weight and 95 percentile in terms of height. Yes, she is pretty tall in comparison to other kids of her age. Hopefully, her growth will be sustainable as mommy has given her good headstart. Anyway, we were relieved to hear from the pediatrician that her development is on track. In terms of her motor skills, she is fairly developed. She can feed her herself with finger food very well, and recently she is also capable of feeding herself using a fork. However, she is still learning how to walk even though we noticed a few days ago that she is learning to take a few steps forward without any support. Fortunately, she has been very enthusiastic in pushing her mini car around the house.
Mommy, daddy, I'm ready to push my car outside.
I have to commend on Sheri's effort in pushing her car outside even though the windchill made us feel that it was close to sub-freezing temperature.
As far as her verbal skills are concerned, we are happy with her progress so far. Besides saying 'mama' and 'daddy', she can also say a number of words like 'sit', 'cheese', 'dirty' and 'messy'. Sheri is quite an interesting child. She likes to mimic what we say to her. I always ask her to sit down to eat and to change her clothes, so she learns to repeat the word 'sit' after me. Cheese is her favourite food, so I made her repeat after me when she eats it. As for 'dirty' and 'messy', I guess I am also responsible for that as I always use these two words on her. Am I a bad mommy?
