Re: 15-18mo olds random check in.. questions...

AJ-16mo

I'll answer my own


Still using a Highchair?
Yep, she pulls us to it and pats it to say she’s hungry

Rear Facing or Forward Facing?
Rear facing with company, meaning she is rarely ever alone back there. I drive, he sits with her mostly and on some rare occasions I sit with her and he drives but only once a month or so is she back there by herself. Maybe that’s why it seems to me she doesn’t care about not facing forward? We are in no rush to turn her around.

Diaper Size?
4

STTN?
Only if she gets a short 6pm nap. Then she won’t wake up. Though she does toss and turn.

Using overnights??
Nope just the same diapers. She doesn’t leak out. I change her if she’s asleep or not around 10pm or later if I let her sleep out in the living room longer. She always goes to bed with a fresh diaper.

Favorite foods?
Cherrios, tortillas, hushpuppies (fried cornbread not knish versions)

Favorite Drinks?
Half/half juice water

Still using a bottle at least once a day?
I’m getting better at winning this fight but I’d still say ‘sometimes’ she’ll get a bottle to go to sleep. She gives it back and asks for a paci tho before actually going to sleep.

Paci or not to Paci?
Yep. She doesn’t get one at daycare but knows exactly where it is in the car for her ride home.

Size in clothes?
God help me, I don’t know. She’s in 9-12 still on some odd pieces and then 12mo for a lot of non onesie shirts but the 18mo pants are occasionally too long. Its so annoying!
