18 Months

One year and 6 months old! Hard to believe that time really does go by so fast. My vocabulary has increased dramatically, my doctor says I am very advanced. I now can also say: No No No, No, Flower, Shower, Pillow, Drink, Crib, Boop, Booty Booty Booty, My Kitty, Hi Dada, Its the Ball, Remote (mote), Pretty, Princess, Giraffe (haffe), Fish (Bish), Duck, Minnie (Milnnie), Mickey, Daisy (Daiz), Goofy(Goo), Donald (Don), Kiss, Wheres the...., Close, On, Diaper (Biaper), Bye Bye, Ethan, Kaci, Chase, Slide, Poop, Potty, Hands, Feet, Beans, and Cheese, Pat-A-Cake (Patty). I can point to most any thing in my books if you ask me and I can do the whole Pat-A-Cake by myself. I can Quack Quack for duck and Ruff for Puppy and sing my simple pony song for pony, GRRRR for Tiger or Lion. I like to ride golf carts, four wheelers and jeeps. My hair has finally began to start growing. I have precious curls behind my ears and on the back of my head. Before I started saying "Bite" I called it "Mnoe" for some reason and when I want to listen to the radio on the car I say "Doe". My favorite is Sugarland. I like to watch football and I recognize the OU sign everywhere, I can say OU and do an OU cheer. I like to hug my stuffed animals and say "Aw Oh Awh", it is so sweet. One of the sweetest things I do is hold your hand and rub your fingernail and suck my thumb at the same time. I have become a little trickster, whether I sneak up behind you and try to scare you or run from you or when you try to get me dressed I'll give you a hand or foot and then hurry and take it away. Still not a big fan of eating, it is my main problem area, well that and throwing up. I have discovered the back rub and I love it, I just say "Back Back Back" and lay on my stomach when I am ready for one. I like to pick up a bunch of clothes or several stuffed animals and try to walk around with as much as I can carry. I love to walk in Mama's shoes. Now when Dada gets home from work I run and get a toy or two to show him. It was my Goofy for several days, now it seems to be just what ever I grab. Some things I enjoy doing are dancing, climbing, galloping, carrying my purse, playing with friends, and putting my animals night night with a napkin or blanket. I have started to mind a little bit better and I know what time out is and that I do not wish to sit there. I also know how to fake cry and squint my eyes, I will peek out to see if you are watching me closely. I absolutely hate the Doctors office, I scream before they even touch me and last time I threw up everywhere. My Doc said that it is self-induced, some kiddos hold their breath and some make themselves gag....like me. We took my first trip to the Zoo on my 1 1/2 B-Day, I loved all of the animals. I just love kisses and big hugs, I know how to squeeze real tight and grunt. I have the most exaggerated facial expressions they have ever seen, I am the cutest thing ever!!!
