18 months old

On Saturday you became 1 1/2. Eighteen months have passed since you were born. It’s hard to imagine you not being in our lives, which on the one hand seems like you’ve been here for so much longer than 18 months. On the other, I remember you being so tiny and unable to even sit-up and that wasn’t that long ago.
We aren’t going to get your 18 month appointment until next month due to scheduling & shots.
Every day it seems you surprise me with something you know. I just can’t keep track of the words you know anymore. I’m happy to say you are still very loving, and give great hugs. I hope this doesn’t ever change.
You have gotten to really know who everybody is, when we mention the names you look around to see where they are, including all your teachers. You call Nina all the time, coco (codie) and Aiden (Ian).
Probably your favorite foods right now are potatoes, strawberries and bananas are always a big hit as well (they have probably surpassed mandarin oranges even).
You wear 12 to 18 month clothing; you are around 22 lbs and 32 inches tall.
You love to dance, we were talking about taking you to dance classes, you are very active, you on the move all day, I think that is why you don’t get too much weight, you know how to get off the couch without any help, you climb on the dishwasher door, at the mall play ground you climb the bridge like a pro, you love to play pretend with daddy.
I love you baby girl, and you bring me so much joy in my life. I love seeing you grow and learn.
Love,
Momma
