Checkups and Conferences

Preston had his 18 month check up a week or so ago and he is one healthy little boy. We are still dairy free, and sticking to almond milk as his milk substitute. He sure is growing, and getting taller by the day! I have really started to notice it as his 18 month pants are getting too short.He is right on target for gross motor skills (typical boy-climbing and running are second nature) and he is doing well with verbal skills too. He probably has 20ish words now, right where he is supposed to be. He isn't putting two words together yet, but he sure is becoming Mr. Repeater, anything you say, he says. Here were his stats:
Weight: 26.4 lbs (56%tile)
Height:35 in (98%tile)

Reese also had a "checkup" but of different sorts. We had her preschool conference on Monday morning. Kyle was unable to attend since it was at 11:00 am, but I was able to go.  Overall, she is a playful, fun, social girl who loves to interact with everyone and loves to learn. The teacher said she is doing well in almost every area, but we need to start working on number recognition a bit more, and learning when to use listening ears (not shocking to me) :) I guess her and another little girl like to talk during story time and her teacher has to remind them quite often to be quiet during stories. Again, not shocked by this :) She is quite the talker and loves to tell stories about anything and everything.

I started obedience class with Izzy last night and it went really well. It's an hour class with 15 dogs in it. It was all conducted "off leash" last night, so it was fun to see how Izzy reacted to all the other dogs. She did FANTASTIC. She is really a social puppy (thank goodness) and loved playing with them all. We learned how to sit, lay down, and then stand last night. As well as recall (coming when I call her name). Some of the dogs were much bigger than her, but she held her own and would jump right up on them and play. A good sign so far!
