When first seeing the trees, she immediately saw the fruit lying at their base and declared "uh-OH!" We explained that the fruit sometimes falls and, despite Laila's emphatic requests to put the apples "back! back!" we could not. We could, however, pick (and eat!) many delicious varieties of apple from the trees. Many branches bearing ripe fruit were growing at Laila's level, so she could walk up to trees and grasp fruit to pick it.
The apple does not fall far from the tree.
Three weeks ago, Laila visited the pediatrician for her 18-month checkup.
She received DTAP, polio, and flu vaccinations. She is now fortified
for a winter of flu exposure.
She measured 33 inches (75th percentile), a gain of three inches from
her fifteen-month checkup;
she weighed in at 23 lbs 12 oz (50th percentile), a gain of about two
pounds. We knew this, because she enjoys stepping on the scale each
morning.
Cf. Laila at nine months. I am not sure I wrote updates for twelve and fifteen months!
Laila paused while coloring before breakfast; she heard a plane outside.
