18 Months!!

I am a year and a half old already!!  I actually turned 18 months on Sunday the 22nd, but I have just been so busy I have not had time to post :)  I had a great Christmas and New Year with my family, and now I look forward to Valentines Day!!

At 18 months:
 - I am still working on drinking from a big girl cup
 - I am wearing mostly 18-24months now with a few things that are stil 12-18 months
 - I repeat absolutely everything anybody says!  I can also say big word such as "humidifier" and "temperature"
 - I still watch my signing time videos and love them!
 - I do not watch Baby Einstein that much anymore
 - I eat 3 big meals a day with some snacks in between sometimes.  I drink whole milk a lot and some water.  I do a great job with my veggies too!
 - I still love to take a bath but not so much waching of the hair :(
 - Instead of saying "no" like most kids my age, I like to say "nope" and all the time
 - I take one nap a day at around 1pm for about 2 hours
 - I got a kitchen set for Christmas and love to play with all of the food and set my little table
 - I like to go up the steps by myself but still need help from mommy and daddy when it is time to come down.
 - I also can get up on the furniture now by myself and down by myself too :)

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!!

Sorry this is so late!  I have been super busy playing with all of my new toys and visiting family over the holidays.  My Christmas was super exciting, Christmas Eve I got to see Santa at my Aunt Angela & Uncle Jim's house then mommy and daddy took me to church.  Christmas morning I woke up to a new kitchen set and lots of toys!!  Later that day I went to mom-mom's & grandfather's for dinner and opened even more gifts :)
On the 27th we went up to NY to visit my mom's side of the family and I had a great time playing with all of my cousins.  Next week I will be 18 months old :)

17 Months!!

I turned 17 months old today and I am just a ball of fire!! :)  The "N-O" word is coming out of my mouth like crazy and mommy and daddy are not to happy about it. :(  They try to encourage me to say "yes" but I just like to say "no". 

At 17 months old:
 - Everyone says my vocabulary is amazing!  I sign and say many words and sentences like "may I be excused?"
 - I weigh 23lbs and wear 12-18mos. clothing
 - I do not like sitting rear facing in my car seat because my legs are cramped, so daddy might turn it around soon.
 - I still love to take baths
 - Every time I see anything with Mickey Mouse or Dora I scream with excitement
 - Lately I have been having a very hard time going down for a nap and to bed
 - I am the 2nd oldest in my nursery class at church and enjoy playing with all of the "babies"
 - I like to walk up and down the steps with only little help from mommy and daddy, I sometimes get upset when they carry me
 - I love to play with crayons, not necessarily color, but putting them in and out of the box
 - I still drink out of a sippy cup and still need to work on a big girl cup
 - I eat just about all table food and love anything that has cheese on it :)
 - I learned who the 1st president was the other day and can say "Washington" when mommy & daddy asks
 - I have 11 teeth now and 2 of them are brand new molars
 - I am brushing my own teeth with a little help from mommy, but I do a great job!

17 months old today

I wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!

Why????

Last night on my way to bed I started the "why?" question!  Mommy said "oh no, this shouldn't start until you are at least 2 years old!"
Well, it has been awhile since I posted last.  We were in NY for Thanksgiving, and just recently I got very sick :(  I have an ear infection and pneumonia.  I am on medicine and feel so much better now! :)
I am looking forward to Christmas because mommy and daddy tell me Santa is coming!  I tell everyone that Santa says "HO HO HO!".  Next week I will be 17 months and mommy and daddy just cannot believe it.

I am loving bananas now!

16 Months!!

Hi everybody, I am 16 months old today!!  I had a great day today, first mommy made me my favorite breakfast, scrambled eggs with cheese :)  Then we went to a play date at church where I got to play with my good friends Calli and Laurel.  Then for dinner my great Aunt Mim, great Uncle Don, cousin Susan, Mr. Tim, and Aubrey joined us.  It was nice to see them and I had tons of fun playing with Aubrey!

Over the weekend I got to see Santa!!  I didn't cry, so mommy and daddy were excited about that.  Tomorrow we leave for NY for Thanksgiving.  It will be fun to play with my cousins up there again.

At 16 months:

 - I still repeat just about anything
 - I say phrases like "where did she go?", "what's that?", "all done", "help me please", "get down Abby", "come on Abby"

 - I still love to take baths
 - I am working on drinking out of a regular cup
 - I sign "bike", "potty", and "may I be excused?"  along with many others

Family Birthdays

November is a big month for Birthdays in my family! Cousin Adella, Mom-mom, Uncle Chad, and Grandma all have birthdays in November!  We had a fun time celebrating with them :)

I also got to spend a few days alone with Grandpa and Grandma and cousin Lauren while mommy and daddy went out of town for a wedding.  Just before mommy and daddy left though I decided it was time I made my way out of my crib on my own.  I tried it twice and both times it did not feel so good but daddy ordered a crib tent so I wouldn't try again.  Grandma and Grandpa had lots of fun putting it together while mommy & daddy were away.  Other than that we had lots of fun playing, going to the beach, and on walks.

We are going up to NY for Thanksgiving this year so I can't wait to see everyone again!
