How Old Is She?

Random thought of the day....

Shortly after Aria was born, whenever I received the title question I answered in weeks.  Actually, throughout my pregnancy when people asked how far along I was, I answered in weeks.  Weeks were more fun to count than months.  They go by quicker.  I wrote down milestones in her baby book in weeks until about 15 or 16 weeks when I thought it was getting a little ridiculous.  So, I switched to saying how many months.  But even then I would say 4.5 or almost 6 or I just said 9 even if she wasn't quite there yet.  Now my girl is 1 year old.  Actually, she's 13 months.  (Well she would be soon if February had 29 days.)  So how old am I supposed to say she is when people ask my title's question?  I feel like I shouldn't be counting in months anymore since we have surpassed a year, but I also feel like there is a BIG difference between a 12 month old, a 15 month old, an 18 month old, a 22 month old.  At what point do you just say the year or the year and a half?  I remember being a little kid and being so excited to say I was the next age older.  I remember one specific scene at a restaurant on vacation where the waitress asked how old I was (probably because meals cost different at different ages).  I hesitated and looked at my parents as if to say, "can I say how old I'll be in just a few weeks?"  Then my mom had to explain why I didn't answer.  So back to my original thought, what do I say when I am asked how old Aria is?  Well, she is 1 year, 27 days, 18 hours, and 51 minutes!  :)
