Intro

Hi. My name is Angelina Lilianne. I was born November 2005 at 7lbs 12oz, 20 1/2" tall. I am mommy's smallest baby. Mommy calls me her "L'il Angel". My middle name was going to be Dianne after my grandma but my great great aunt passed away just before I was born and so mommy dropped the "D" and added "Lil" after Aunt Lil while still keeping the "ianne" after grandma.

I have three big brothers, Elijah who is 13 years old and Isaiah who is 10 years old and Joshua who is 3.

2 months old

I weighed 10 1/2 lbs at my 2 month check up. I was 50th percentile in weight but 95th percentile in height. I guess I will be a tall girl!

4 months old

I had my 4 month check up. I weighed in at just over 12 lbs which is 15th percentile. I am 26" tall which is about 75th percentile. Looks like I will be a tall SKINNY girl!

6 months old

At my 6 month check up I weighed in at 13 lbs 3 oz which is 5th percentile. The doctor says I am too skinny. I am just over 26 inches tall which is 50th percentile. However, I have a big head...75th percentile.

8 1/2 months old

When I was 8 1/2 months old I liked to eat cereal, fruit and vegetables...just about anything. I lunged at food when I saw other people eat. I could crawl around from room to room so mommy had to watch me carefully. It was nice weather so I got to wear pretty sundresses. I only wore a 6 month size though because I was small. I liked to swim in the pool with my brothers.

9 1/2 months old

I saw the doctor at 9 1/2 months. I weighed in at 15 lbs 12 oz which is 3rd percentile so I am a bit light. However, I am 28 " tall which is 50th percentile...right on average...and my head is 18" which is BIG (75 th percentile). I eat just about anything and can move quickly on all fours. I can pull up and stand on my own and walk around if I am holding on to something. My mom is putting away all my 6 month size clothes and giving me 12 month size clothes to wear now. It is a bit cold for sundresses so I wear jeans or jean dresses with pants now.

10 1/2 months old

I am 10 1/2 months old now. I am able to stand on my own but when I try to take steps I just fall down so I usually sit and crawl first instead of trying to walk. I have two teeth broken through on the bottom and you can see two teeth trying to cut through on the top but not quite there yet. If I chew on a few more pizza crusts I think those teeth with make it out! My mommy thinks I talk funny. I am always squealing and making noises that sound like words but no one knows what I am saying! (except maybe my brother, Josh!)

one year old

Happy birthday to me! I am a whole year old! I run around the house and get into everything. I can say "dahg" (dog) "kah" (cat) "ahooo" (hi) and "dahdee" (Daddy). I wear a 12 M size dress and size 3 shoes (but size 4 boots). I like to eat fruit and cookies but will eat other things too. I don't like to drink bottles but if I am really thirsty I will drink a bit from a bottle. I don't sleep much in the day but I sleep all night. Mommy wishes I would nap during the day too. For my birthday my mommy baked me a coconut orange date cake with no dairy nor sugar. It was very good. I ate it by the fistful. Graceful little lady, ain't I?

13 months old

Merry Christmas! Santa came to my house and filled my stocking with diapers, jars of food, socks and wipes. He also left me a nice new carseat! I still fit my infant car seat so my new seat is sitting in the living room as my own personal arm chair. I got dressed up in a red velvet dress with white lace sleeves that my mommy wore when she was one (about 4 decades ago!). I looked so pretty.

15 months old

I am 15 months old now. I babble away and sometimes what I say sounds like REAL WORDS. I like to hear my own voice. My favourite things to do are dress up in other people's shoes and hats, play kitchen or play with trucks and trains. I like to watch TV with my brother too. We watch Monsters Inc. together.

22 months old

I am 22 months old now. I am about 2 1/2 feet tall and weigh almost 25 lbs. I wear size 18-24 months in pants but I have to have at least 24 months in shirts to get them over my head. I wear size 7 shoes. I talk a lot. My brothers taught me some new words but my mother dares not to repeat them in public. Mommy calls Josh and I "Pete" and "Repeat" because I copy everything he does, even the bad stuff. I like to watch movies like Baby Einstein, Teletubbies, Harry Potter and Thomas the Tank Engine. I like to play with my dolls and with my brothers trucks and trains. I really like to go for walks. Will you take me for a walk?

My mother keeps a Photo Album online so you can see how we have grown! It is so hard to keep up with family when there are miles between them.
