Mia 16 months old

Now you are fully walking – and exploring and climbing and all the toddler activities that go with it – you have been picking up words fast over the last month, you can say avion (plane), mas (more), apple (you call apple to every fruit that is round oranges, peaches), mine, hot . You can also meow like a cat, you can ruff ruff like a dog.
You truly understand much of what we say, which makes is all the more frustrating when you knowingly do something to oppose it. Our biggest battle with you these days is while eating – you like to throw food that you aren’t interested in or sometimes just anything even if you would eat it – onto the ground. You find great delight in it. You also like to climb on your chair and start moving back and forth while you are standing on it. And even though we say no, and will give you time out if you do it again – you still do it. You know you aren’t supposed to – you look at us, make sure we are watching. It’s hard not to laugh at your persistence and your expressions – but we try to be consistent with you. Maybe it’ll sink in and you’ll move on to something else.
You try to copy a lot of what we say; you try to make all the noises that you hear, you recognized the sounds of the plane, motorcycles.
You eat well most of the time – but if you see bread or crackers you try to get those ahead of everything else, you love carbs (bread, pasta, potatoes). You still have your toddler days though when you just won’t try what is on your plate…. daddy is better at getting you to try things – he has the better patience of the two of us.
You biggest accomplish is that you climbed on the dishwasher door, where did you get the idea from? Who knows.
You also love your babies dolls, you take care of them like your babies, you feed them and change them, I think you copy this from Nina Patricia and Aiden.
You are so much fun and every day you amazed me.
I love you baby girl.
