I'm speaking to you Cameron. I just took you to your 18-month well check doctor appointment on Friday and you did awesome. I blame it on the breakfast you had, followed by the popcorn snack, milk and then cheez-it's. You weighed in at 24lbs, which means you're in the 70th percentile in weight.
You are 31.5 inches, which means you're 30th percentile in height. You've been coined since that day as our little meatball. You're a good eater, saying words (mommy, daddy, yes, apple, nana, Ania, milk, water, berries, NO). You make a pouty face when we tell you no to things and today you actually said 'mine'.

Dear Ania and 'Ania'
I guess I couldn't stay away too long. I've decided since I'm using instagram for photo books, then I'm going to use blogspot for 'open letters' to you girls and sometimes stories. Just words. No photos.
So why am I addressing this to Ania and 'Ania'. Well, Cameron, you don't know what your name is just yet. We ask you 'What is your name?' and you respond 'Ania'. So this letter is to your big sister and you, but rightfully addressed. Things seem to always get busier the older you get because I look at the both of you and are no longer my 'babies'. Ania, you refer to yourself as a 'big girl' and Cameron you are just as busy with everything.
Some funny stories regarding your school. We have a running joke saying that we get yelled at by the director and we got 'yelled' at again. Here are some of our 'parent of the year award' moments.
1) Cameron would scream and cry at school. We were told that once the teachers gave you food, you would calm down. They have since asked us to give you food before we drop you off. Thankfully, breakfast is now served in the Gramza Inn.
2) Ania, to get you out of the house, I let you wear any shoe you chose. This included a red slip on shoe that was a half size bigger. We were told to drop you off in different shoes because you would start running in one direction and your shoes were still at the starting point. We've told you that you have to wear sneakers now or mommy and daddy will get in trouble.
3) Cameron, we've been giving you broccoli for you veggie for about the past week to eat with your lunch. We were told today to stop giving you broccoli and please give another veggie. Apparently, the face you had when you were given broccoli, was that of a annoyed look (so we're told). Also, the director has to sit with you during lunch to make sure you eat your veggies. If you do, you're given a cookie like a good girl.
4) Ania, there was a time I dropped you off with your smoothie plus 2 bottles of milk. We were told that we're providing you too much milk and that you've been having a hard time finishing them. And since you have a voice, you've told us when you don't like the veggie we provide with lunch or the dislike of cereal of choice.
5) Cameron, today we were told to put different shoes on because you look like you're hobbling in the hand me down purple sneakers we've been putting on your feet. We've realized the sneakers are still to big so back to the red sneakers tomorrow.
6) Ania, we've been told to put you in a certain type of training underwear. This is to make sure if you have an accident, it doesn't go everywhere.
Girls, these are just some of the things mommy and daddy does to try and get the parent of the year award at school. I'm sure there will be more stories but this is a good start. :)
