18 Months Old

This special little princess turned 18 months old on March 25th.  She definitely thinks she's two with the tantrums she throws, so we are learning a lot about parenting and patience!  But she is also learning so much and is still so sweet! We just love her to pieces!  Here's a few of her stats:

-Words she knows: Mama, Dada, More, Milk, Kitty, Woof Woof (Doggie), Hi, Banana, Ewww
-Favorite foods: String Cheese, Applesauce, Cottage Cheese, Yogurt 
-She loves to dance any time she hears music. 
-She laughs when people laugh on TV and claps when she hears clapping.
-She loves the park and is starting to play more with friends.
-Best friend is Emmy Farr across the street. She lights up even when she sees Emmy's mom.
-Sleeps 7pm - 7am. Naps for 1-2 hours at 12:30.  Lately been going down very easily at night time.

She does the slides all by herself now

This is a normal way to eat, right? She usually starts with a utensil, then when that isn't fast enough, she eats with her hands.  Apparently, sometimes the hands aren't fast enough, either!

Sleepy baby.

She had been taking a bath in our tub for a while and started refusing to get in, so I moved her back to her own tub.  She was a little bit happy about it. :)
