Since I didn’t do a formal update for you at 18 months since I was still on the floor of the closet, I thought I would do an update now that you have officially been to your 18 month check up!
You weigh 21 pounds and 31.5 inches!
You have only gained one pound since your 15 month appointment, but grew 2 inches!
Can we not talk about how BIG she looks here!!
Before this post ends before it starts due to another closet melt down lets move on…
Here is what you are up to these days…. besides well, everything!
You Love:
- Playing Dress up, with jackets or mommy’s sweaters!
-Wearing necklaces (still) and now bracelets!
- Your Paci!
-Doing whatever mommy is doing and mimicking every move i make- literally, you watch me like a hawk!
- When we go up to your room to get your pajamas on, you get so wound up but when I ask if you want to change your diaper you lay down a by yourself!
- Going to gymnastics, you start kicking and screaming in the back seat when you see the building!
- Picking up the ice that mommy inevitably ALWAYS drops from the ice maker!
-Watching music videos on our phone, your favorites are Taylor Swift, Jason Derula (trumpets), Megan Trainer and you also loe watching Hooplakids on daddy’s tablet!
- Going to the square and playing on the choo choo!
- pulling things behind you (like walking a dog)
- Looking out the front door and spying on all the neighbors (Mr. Henry and Mr. Raj)
- Holding hands (finally yay!) and pulling mommy places!
- Teasing Milly with food or her baby
- Carrying ALL the bags
- Getting your teeth brushed, it gives you the giggles!
- You run to get a towel when you sill drinks and wipe it up like mommy
- Jumping in the pool or lake to daddy!
-Mommy’s make up bag (and lipstick)!
- Anything with a lid, you love putting caps on things or plugging things in!
- Being around family and friends! You love being a socialite, you also HATE seeing anyone leave, it is currently what causes mommy the MOST stress!
- Today I found you in the kitchen getting the dust pan and broom when i followed you in the den to see what you were doing with it you were cleaning up a cookie you dropped!
- Your favorite thing to do now (since baby Jadyn was born) is to carry around a bag (with balls in it) and push the stroller with strawberry baby in it… You also feed the baby her bottle and birb the baby.
Talking!
- Our favorite thing you say now is “I love you!”
- You are signing “More” all the time now and you started shaking your head for “no” which is new since usually everything is “yas”
- You are pretty much saying any word now that either we ask you to say or that you pick after hearing us say it…. so far you have said: butterfly, again, Jen, dada, maaaaaaaaaah (mom), apple, bus, cup, up, open, Mimi and the list goes on!
Sleeping!
- You are such a sensitive sleeper! There is no “transferring” you to your crib or to and from the car anymore! You refuse to sleep anywhere anymore even in the car unless it’s after about 10pm!
- ON a good note your daddy and I always say if you miss your nap your still usually happy as can be and it doesn’t seem to phase you!
- We are still and have been climbing INTO your crib with you to help you fall asleep at night… so far we have gotten you to sleep at night twice without climbing in with you but and you have done we but as soon as we shut the door we give each other meltdowns and guilt trips “Oh my god I can’t believe I left her in there!” then the other follows with “It’s ok it’s not a “new” thing, she still needs us, we will lay with her again tomorrow!” And thus- is precisely why you have only done it twice !
- On a good note your afternoon naps are usually BIG and long! Sometimes mommy even has to wake you up!
All in all your daddy and I are still pinching ourselves! Literally we say it all the time, we got so lucky just having YOU and as if we needed anything else you really are SUCH a good baby/toddler and so smart! We have to say that right ;) No really, You remember everything and have so many routines because of it! You are also VERY OCD with where things go and how things should be done! Like really good! When we go places you love to see everything and touch and test out everything. We always say how good you are about leaving and even putting things back that you REALLY like so that we can leave.
Moms with other kids your age always ask how old you are after seeing you interact or do something and they are so shocked when i say 18 months…. your pretty that Lola, Shocking.
We love you baby girl and happy, happy 18 months!
Love Always,
Mama and Daddy!
