Teeth: 16. Order they arrived: bottom middle, top middle, then top outside incisors, then bottom outside incisors. Then, months later, all 4 canines AND all 4 pre-molars came poking through in the span of 2 weeks! Now she is over 2 years old, and we are still awaiting the final 4.
Current Status (July 2005):
  • Chiara is really good at peeing on the potty, but still refuses to poop. Only got one small one in the last several months.
  • Chiara has been walking since 13 months old
  • Eats like it's going out of style, and as always, still prefers to do it herself.
  • Is still really advanced when it comes to speaking. She's almost two, but according to the charts she is far past a 3-year old level and meeting many of the goals for a 4-year old. She is speaking in nice sentences that usually only miss one or two words from what an adult would say, and sometimes strings 2 or 3 sentences together for a mini-paragraph that tells a bit of a story or something.
  • Can recognize her written name, most letters and numbers, shapes and colours (for a long time now) and can now draw a closed circle-ish thing for a circle! (that's a developmental milestone, so they say)
  • Will be starting pre-school / day care soon!
