17 Months Old



Sweet girl, you are a month away from being a 1.5 year old.  I CANNOT BELIEVE IT!  I remember this time last year you were a itty bitty thing.


Looking forward to you having your first Thanksgiving meal.

You have certainly grown since last year.  You finally hit 19 lbs! 19.2 to be exact.  Someone is close to being forward facing.

Your bedtime is 7 pm, but there have many nights lately where you play in your crib for about 15-20 minutes before falling asleep.  You talk to your animals.  So cute!  We are now getting up at 7 am, thank heavens!  Well, I started leaving you in the crib until I go into your room at 7.  You seem to be content just hanging out until I get you.  Who knows what time you actually wake up.

We nap around 12:30 pm everyday and you'll nap anywhere from 1-2.5 hours.  Depends on the day. Lately, you usually wake around 2 pm.  You still nap on the couch with mommy. I'm trying to get as much cuddles as possible before your little sister or brother arrives.

Your favorite foods and snacks are: Fruit...especially blueberries and strawberries...veggie straws, snapea crisps (dried green beans), Annie's white cheddar bunnies, fried fish, french fries, broccoli, sweet potatoes, soups, black beans, Whole Foods meatloaf, cereal (like your mommy). You'll have regular cows milk in your cereal, but won't drink it on its own.  However, you love vanilla milk.  We have an Organic Valley milk box every night before bath.

Foods you dislike: Not a big fan of sandwiches. You'll just pick the turkey and toss the rest.  But you'll only take a few bites of the turkey.  Sometimes you will eat peanut butter and banana sandwiches.  Rice.  

You are OBSESSED with books!  Constantly looking at them, want me to read to you, stacking them.  I have to hide them if we've already read them a gazillion times.  

    
 Your favorite books right now are What Makes A Rainbow?

Still not saying a ton of words, but our new one is "car" and "ock" for sock.  No telling how many words you understand.

You love organization and order.  Constantly lining things up.  Amazing to watch.  You also like putting things away.

You just discovered your belly button.  Always checking it out and then want to look at mommy and daddy's.  So adorable.

You love bracelets and necklaces.  You will put all of my pony tail holders on your wrists and my head bands around you neck.  You will even put all of my bra's around your neck.  

You can now climb on and off the couch, but only by using a cushion on the floor.  We are making progress.  Your not scared to climb into the dryer, however.


 You are scared to slide down the slide by yourself.  I have to give you a little push to get you to go.

You are still obsessed with balls and animals.

You have gone on lots of travels thus far.  Our last trip was to New Orleans.

Your not a fan of the highchair in restaurants.  We now skip the highchair and let you hangout with us in the booth.  You're more content.

You love Elmo and Chica.  Right now this is your favorite video
right now.  So cute watching you.  You'll put your hands on the top of your head when Carly makes her dorsal fin with her hands.  You also like when you freeze like a starfish.  Melt my heart!

You LOVE to give kisses, especially when you are telling someone bye or goodnight.  You stretch out your little neck and tuck your top lip under your bottom lip and it's sugar time.  You also love giving hugs.  You'll run to me at random times to give me your biggest hug.  You are the SWEETEST!

We have loved watching you grow sweet girl and cannot wait to see you grow each and every day.  We are also looking forward to seeing you as a big sister.  I know you are going to be a great little helper.  You will always be my "best" girl!!

We love you sweet darling.  XXOO!!!!
