Our little lady is 1 1/2 years old! I can't believe how much she's changed just in these last 6 months! She is running everywhere; I don't think "walk" is in her vocabulary. She loves to dance & loves to climb. Twice, I have found her standing on our computer desk in the last month-yikes! She loves being outside & cries when we have to come in. We try to go to our park most days or work out in our garden. At the park she goes down the tallest slide & insists on picking up pieces of bark that have escaped to the grass & putting them back in the play area (a perfectionist maybe?) When we work in the yard she loves to dig with the shovel & carry around the watering can. She is super girly & loves wearing bonnets, sunglasses, barrettes, necklaces & shoes & hates getting dirty. If she gets stuff on her hands she wants them washed off. She loves bath time & splashing in the water (can't wait to really swim this summer!) Her mouth is a full house with 24 teeth & she loves to brush them! Her favorite foods are cheese, raviolli, beans, guacamole, yogurt, edamame, corn, pretzels, blackberries, bananas, blueberries, & spaghetti & meatballs. She talks non-stop & some of her words are: more, no, hi/hello, bye-bye, yummy, mommy, daddy, shoes, uh-oh, puppy, kitty, Ju Ju (what we call Juliette), baby (she calls anything small a baby...ants, for instance, & I think it's too cute to correct yet : ), bubble & juice. We are constantly blown away by the things she understand us say. If we say "bath" she runs to the bathroom & starts stripping or "park" she grabs her sunglasses & runs to the front door. The other day we were getting ready to go outside & I told her I still had to put my shoes on & she went into our bedroom & brought me tennis shoes & socks!! Her favorite show is Yo Gabba Gabba & insists on sitting in her princess chair to watch it. And she loves dancing with the kids on the show. She goes to sleep by herself now & sleep 10 hrs at night, a 1 hr morning nap & a 1-2 hr afternoon nap. At her 18 month checkup she weighed 21 pounds, 7 ounces (11%), & was 31 1/2 inches (44%). She loves to pretend like she's talking on the phone (or calculator, or remote control or anything with buttons). She knows where her eyes, nose, mouth & belly button are. She loves to read books, color & play with stickers. She is also into animals & animal sounds. When I get out the milk, she says "moo" b/c there is a picture of a cow on the carton. We are loving every second with our Miss Personality! And here are a few videos from the last few weeks!
