Burcusa Family Musings and Adventures: 18 months!

We just had Rose's 18-month appointment. She is growing and developing right on track! She's our little rock star. :) The pediatrician put me at ease about all my neurotic first-time mom worries (language development, potential tooth decay, dandruff, carseat safety, etc.). She also did a great job reassuring me when I started crying about Rose's burns. Sigh. Most of the time I've been thinking that I've forgiven myself, but sometimes I still start crying at the drop of a hat! I guess I haven't completely forgiven myself yet, although it's definitely getting better. In other news, Rose's assessments show that she really excels in fine motor skills. She can hold a spoon like a pro! Also, here are her stats:
