18 Months Old

Being 18 months old means more things to get into and more trouble to make. She likes to walk around on her tip toes and loves putting things into boxes and taking them back out, including herself.

Her vocabulary is slowly expanding, and I'll bet it explodes soon. She says Mama, pup pup, ba (which can be ball, bottle, book, bye bye, or binky depending on what she's pointing at), yeah, car, up, baby, num num for food, nigh nigh for good night, and Dada. We almost got her to say apple at the store today. Sometimes she'll try to mimic us (we've almost gotten pretty and itsy bitsy), but not a lot yet. We've been trying to read to her a lot and she loves the touchy-feely books, especially her farm animal one. She'll turn to the page with the colt and then point to her rocking horse. She's a quick one.

She loves to make noise, like any toddler. She spent almost an hour banging on a bowl with a spoon last night.

She's been eating really well and will chow down a whole banana in one sitting. I found some chocolate Cheerios on a sale last week and she loves those.
