Daddy and I still can't believe that you've been in our lives for 18 months! You are so incredibly happy and love to be the center of attention. You're my errand-buddy and always ask to go "buh-bye". While we're running errands you make sure that everyone knows you're there and are constantly saying "Hi" to those close by.
You usually wake up around 7am but play in your crib until I come get you. You're still not a breakfast eater! I think you inherited that from me... We always watch Minnie (Mickey Mouse Clubhouse) while you drink your bottle and you continue to ask for it throughout the day. Minnie is your absolute favorite and she goes everywhere with you (along with your blankie)! Daddy and I think it's just the cutest thing ever. You love to read your books and play with your toys. We started a toy rotation and it's definitely one of the best things we've done with you. Your favorite books are from the Babylit series - you could play with them all day if I let you!
Your vocabulary is growing! I used to worry about it, but not anymore! You can say:
Daddy * Mommy * Mama * Gramma * Nana * Poppa * Poppi * Baxter * Doggy
Kitty * Me * Bah-Bah (bottle) * Cookie * Cracker * Cheese * Minnie * Daisy
Mickey * Na-Ni (night-night) * House * NO * Water * Peas (please) * Shoes
Tank oo (thank you) * Coat * Bankee (blankie) * Walk * Uv oooo (love you) * Bye
You're also a pretty awesome eater - as long as it isn't breakfast time, you'll eat anything I give you. Your favorites are chicken nuggets, cheese sticks, and mandarin oranges. You love water and milk but you won't drink juice...and you ONLY drink milk from a bottle...
You've mastered the stairs.
You beg for bathtime!
You know the way to Grandma's house and cry when we pass it.
You dance as soon as you hear any type of music.
You also clasp as soon as you hear clapping. TV shows with studio audiences are fun to watch with you...
Church Nursery is your favorite and you love being with all the other kids.
Even though you're well on your way to the 'terrible-twos', we love you so much! It's hard to believe that you'll be 2 in just a few months...
Love, Mommy + Daddy
