Our little bundle of energy is 17 months old. She is becoming more independent everyday, which is bittersweet for mommy! She's started doing this thing with her fingers where she touches the edges of her lips while she smiles. This is her attempting to do it while she eats. She is such a sweet, funny precious baby girl. She is a handful, but the best kind!
Some updates on the angel...
Teeth: She has eleven teeth total. The molars were rough!
Eating: She LOVES to eat! She will basically eat anything but her favorites are crackers, watermelon, corn (on the cob), and cheese. She wants to eat all day, and yells "eat, eat" basically all day.
Sleeping: She is still sleeping good. She sleeps about 11 hours a night and takes one nap a day at 10:30. I've tried moving naptime to the afternoon, but she is so tired by that point that she doesn't sleep as long.
Size: I don't know her weight or height, but I think she is growing like a weed. She is still in size three diapers during the day, four at night. Most of her play clothes are size 12 month and most dress clothes are 9 months.
Talking: She talks up a storm! She can repeat anything that is said. She is even starting to put two words together. So precious. I call Mark's name, and now Haisley has started calling him "Mark" almost full time. I am not going to lie, it is pretty funny. Of course Mark prefers that she call him Daddy, so I have been making a concious effort to call him Daddy in front of her.
Some of her favorite activities are climbing in/on things,
Playing/fighting with Presley,
Playing outside, blowing/eating bubbles, playing with the bouncy ball, EATING, talking on the phone, feeding her dolls, play in the rocks, pick tomatoes out of the garden (or really anything out of the garden), waller on me (I love the cuddle time), play horsey on my leg, and she loves for Mark and I to swing her as we walk.
A few phrases that she has started saying that I want to remember:
"It scares me"-especially when I get the dustbuster out
"I want some"-anything that is being eaten by anyone, she wants some
"Open, close"-She has some toys that say open when you open them, and close when you close them. Now she thinks that when she wants something open she has to say "open, close"
"Bikickle"-for bicycle
"Wait, Wait"-not so cute, but she has started saying it when we change her diaper.
"Oh no"
We love this baby girl more than life and think she is just precious. She has her moments of tantrums, but they are easily forgotten when she is acting so sweet!
