18 months

Our baby girl is no longer a baby. She's growing so fast, it's hard to keep up. She's been unusually fussy the past few months and her pediatrician told us at her 18 month checkup that girls tend to go through their "terrible 2's" anywhere between 15-18 months. We hope that's case and that she'll grow out of it in three months when baby arrives. Here are some of her new tricks at a year and a half:

~ Knows and says over 100 words
~ Starting to speak two-word and a few three-word phrases
~ tries to repeat everything so we really have to watch it :)
~ L-O-V-E-S "Yo Gabba Gabba"
~ browses through books and has memorized objects in her favorites
~ throws things in the "tash"
~ tells you "no touch" as you change her diaper, meaning she shouldn't touch
~ uses fork and spoon regularly
~ still drinks whole milk
~ will eat most fruits and few vegetables (potatoes and green beans)
~ can kick a ball
~ gives kisses
~ prefers taking "wowers" (showers) over baths
~ tells us when she's pooping
~ goes to bed between 7 and 8pm, and wakes anywhere between 7-9am.
~ takes one nap in the afternoon anywhere from 2-3 1/2 hrs
~ colors in scribbles
~ is fairly adventurous and willing to try anything
~ is strong minded
~ likes to put things back in their specific spot
~ loves going for "a ride", swinging, jumping off the side of the pool, going on walks in the stroller, kicking the ball, running to and away from us
~ throws fits
~ definitely knows her routine

We love you to pieces sweet girl and are so proud to be your mommy and daddy. We're so glad God blessed us with such a precious peanut!
