18 months Old

She's has always loved to throw the balls onto the shelf...
but now she's found a new "purpose" for it!
(oh man, that's dusty, ugh.)

She's "snuggling" blankey...while playing music, of course.

Okay, so I'm a few days late...but Megan has officially moved in the "difficult" age (I recently read an article that said when kids hit their 1/2 birthday they test their independence and become more "difficult" to parent). Some highlights....
  • She has 12 teeth (currently working on the next 4)
  • She is running
  • She weighs 24.2 lbs (50th percentile) and is 30.5 inches tall (25th percentile)
  • She's FINALLY out of size 6-9 mo (mostly anyways)
  • She's "talking" more
  • She loves to make EVERYTHING a phone (including a small piece of paper)
  • She says "hi" ALL THE TIME!!! (Especially in stores...and will get increasingly louder if people don't acknowledge her.)
  • She knows what a cow, sheep, horse, duck and dog say
  • She knows 9 body parts
  • She loves to blow kisses
  • She loves to snuggle--even snuggling with the dogs (aka resting her head on them)
  • She is sleeping so much better...some nights better than others, but overall getting at least 11 hours of sleep, but does get 12 occasionally.
There are many more things she does, but I can't think of them right at this moment. She's growing up so fast. Even at her most difficult, she's still SO SWEET! We are definitely blessed.

Well everything you said sounded wonderful, not difficult, as you put it. Good job Mommy!

P.S. Bella weighs 27. Maybe they can share clothes soon. What ARE you feeding her???? I need some for Bella!
