18 Months Old- August 6th 2013

I can't believe our sweet girl turned 18 months old this month. Summer has just flown by and she is growing so fast. Thankfully she is still little and doesn't talk much or have a lot of hair so she really still seems like a baby to me. We are keeping this one "little" for as long as we can. Here is what she is up to at 1.5 years old.
-weighs 23lbs (40th percentile)
-height 31.5 inches (47th percentile)
-wears mostly 18-24 months clothes and size 4 diapers
-size 4 shoe
-eats three meals a day with a couple of snacks-does not eat much at meal time-she is SO picky
-loves fruit pouches and snack type food best
-takes one good nap a day-usually 2-3 hours
-still does NOT sleep great at night-goes to bed great at 8pm but usually ends up in our bed by 2am (here we go with keeping her a baby-we would have never let Wade do this!!) We will sleep train when we move :)
-LOVES dogs and animals
-loves books and loves to look at pictures of animals
-loves to be outside
-runs everywhere (her little chubby cheeks shake when she runs!!) these days and is SO busy-much busier than her brother (I am physically tired with her)
-does not sit and watch tv at all but will watch praise baby
-is so sweet and cuddly but can be stubborn and mean when she doesn't get her way
-has been known to hit, scratch and pinch her brother and then hug and kiss him a minute later
-does not like it when Wade cries and will rub his back and lay her head on him
-does great in the church nursery now and rarely cries when we drop her off
-has the biggest smile ever and lots of teeth-still waiting for her 4 I teeth but has all her others
-is so girly and always wears a bow but most days you can find her playing in the dirt or carrying a stick around
-has NO fear and scares me daily-she loves to climb to the highest part of the play ground and lean over the edge of it and laugh because she knows it makes me crazy
-she is clumsy and falls a lot
-waves to people all the time and we always know when she is ready to leave because she starts waving
-doesn't talk much in public but can say-mom, mama, dada, dad-ee, love you, pops, yes, pease, by-ee, uh oh, more, mi (mine), zach, ball, law mo er, ba-oon (balloon), bubble, bubba (brother), ade (wade), rock rock, night night
-loves to swim and loves bath time
-she knows a lot of her animal sounds and can point to her eyes, nose and mouth
-loves to rock in her rocking chairs and she will sing "rock rock" while doing it
-LOVES music so much-she sings or hums all the time-I have got to sign her up for a music class this fall
-goes to sleep at night listening to her music and sings and dances all the time in the car
- makes this silly face now where she scrunches her nose up and sniffs 4-5 times- she does this when she is mad or wants something
-she puts her little hand up to her ear and lays her head down on it when she is ready to go "night night"
-loves blowing kisses to everyone
-everytime we are at my parents she will look at me and say "byeee" and wave-meaning she wants me to leave- haha!!


Westin Kate,
I can't belive you are one and a half. You are still our sweet baby girl and we love you. You are a WILD woman and you make us laugh all the time. I have to say you have the funniest little personality just like your big brother did at this age. You are so silly and so sweet and oh so stubborn. You always know just what you want and you have just started this screaming (loudly) thing when you aren't getting your way. You also will arch your back and lay in the floor when you are mad. We just think you are the cutest thing ever and you keep us on our toes all day long. We love you so much and love this crazy fun age.
