Olivia had her clinic visit this morning (May 15). She was a good weight 23 lbs 12 oz (10.8 kg) and height 31.4 in (79.7 cm) . That was a gain of almost 1.5 lbs and almost 1.5 inches in two months at a time when she should be slowing down on growth some. Yay!! We got the official Okay to drop another day time tube feed and don't have to do another regular visit for another 2 months in July.
On another note, she has taken off in the speech department. Pronunciation is still definitely in the "toddler-only-close-family-can-understand" range, but she is doing 2-3 word sentences and more complex concepts. You just have to listen really hard to understand what she is saying. Plus she uses some words to mean several things. Such as, "off" can mean turn off, turn on, up, down, etc. She will also occasionally parrot words back to you. Have to be careful what we say now. haha
She's also initiating going to the "potty" some on her own. We are not officially working on that yet, but have encouraged her to go when we have time to help her.
Some current phrases (not all):
Sissy - for the sisters with the accent on the last syllable LOL
Fishy - real fish or goldfish crackers
Sittin' - when she wants you to sit beside her, usually with a pat of the hand beside her
There she(he/it) is
Mimi or MawMaw - for Memaw
Donna - for Aunt Donna
wheeee - fun at the moment LOL
swing
boll - BALL
Boh - Hairbow (sometimes confused with Ball the way she pronounces them)
Pillow - pillow or very slightly different pronunciation means color/draw
walk
Shoes - for both shoes and socks
Close - to close the door
WoofWoof - for dog
Whoa - something scary or surprising
