18 Month Check up & Bye Bye Bop Bop

This week Caroline had her 18 month check up. It is hard to believe that our sweet baby is already 18 months old. She has changed so much and is becoming such the big girl. Her stats at 18 months are . . . 19 1/2 pounds (-10%) and 29 inches (-10%). She is still not on the growth chart but is gaining weight and growing at her own rate. The doctor is happy with her progress and believes she is going to be petite.

Since Caroline is becoming a big girl, Mom decided it was time to say bye bye to the bop bop (aka pacifier). We decided we were going to give them to Dr. Hassel to give to other babies. Caroline is doing very well without her bop bop and is sleeping just fine without them. However, she does continue to ask for them at bedtime. It makes me sad to take them away from her but I know it is time!

Here is a picture of Caroline with her bop bop when she was 8 months old.
