18 Months!

Well, really more like 19 but we just had our doctors appointment. So I'm late, but at least I'm consistent :)  You definitely know what goes on there and immediately start saying "bye-bye" as soon as we are in the exam room.  You were not a fan of having your head measured but did pretty well while Dr. Traynham was listening to your heart.  You even managed a "Go Tigers" as he left.  Lolli got to go with us.  You enjoyed the extra snuggle time and I enjoyed her extra pair of hands.  You were 33.25 in. 84.71% and 24lbs 65%.
Which is so funny to me because we still think you are such a peanut.

We decided we are going to start calling you "QC".  Quality control.  You are hysterical.  You are quick to point out a mess and then ask for a paper towel to clean it up.  You LOVE to use the wipe to clean the cart at Target.  It gets us through most of the shopping trip.  You are also quick to notice a change.  We left the house without the paci you like so I fished one out of my purse that I had in a ziplock for emergencies.  You popped it right back out of your mouth and inspected it as if to say "can't fool me mom".  You eventually decided it was an adequate replacement but not without much consideration.

You are loving the new CDs you got for Christmas.  You go crazy dancing in your car seat and actually keep the beat pretty well.  I love that you enjoy music so much.  You have discovered hummus and its a great camouflage for foods that you don't want to eat.  Cover it in hummus or "sauce" (applesauce) and you will eat it.  Knock on wood your appetite is great and you are still loving your crib.  You know when you have had enough and ask for your nap or night night.  You know your limits and you love your sleep.  Unfortunately you also love to exercise your new vocabulary word. "No"  You say it in a coy, "whatcha going to do about this mama" kind of voice.  Which normally results in me trying not to laugh in order to discipline you.  We are trying to get you to say "no, please" or "no thank you".  You are stringing a lot more words together recently.  Adding adjectives to things like "pink ball" or "big mess".  My favorite this month was the "new house" I heard from the backseat when we drove in the drive way to check on the progress.  You are such a joy.  You are a passionate little thing and we love your spunk.  You are one sweet girl.
