I figured it's time for a Campbell update...
She had her 18 month check up yesterday. Her stats were:
Weight: 22 lbs 10-25th percentile
Height: 29 and some inches 5-10th percentile
Head circumference: 50th percentile
Development updates:
Fine motor:
Great news! Campbell was dismissed from OT (occupational therapy) today because all of her fine motor skills were in the 17-19 month range. We would want them to at least be 15 months when adjusting for her prematurity, so this is great news! Campbell can stack 4 blocks, do simple shape puzzles, put pegs in a pegboard, and point.
Gross motor:
Campbell continues to make good progress but is still behind her same age peers, even when we adjust for prematurity. She just this week started taking 1-2 steps to get to Mommy but still doesn't stand on her own. She can cruise like a champ and is a crawling whiz.
Language:
We recently added speech therapy to her list of weekly therapies. We have been very impressed with her therapist and have seen a lot of progress. In a few short weeks, she has gone from not pointing to any pictures when named to consistently pointing to dog, bow (now, who's surprised by that one?), shoes, apple, balloon, and others. She also is saying more sounds, imitating more sounds and words, and babbling more. She consistently says daddy, doggy, hi, all done and has just begun saying a version of mama...finally! She signs more, all done, baby, open, wash, eat, drink, and please.
Here's a short (and cute of course) video of Campbell showing off a few of her skills:

She is so cute and doing SO good.
she looks awesome. Congrats on ditching the OT.
what a ham for the video camera!
Yep, she definitely weighs more than Anna. Way to go Campbell! And congrats on those fine motor skills. That just means she can get into harder stuff. :)
What a cutie (and best of all, she knows it!). She certainly has made major progress this last year and it's a joy to see her grow and learn. Love, Mom
