late in posting the monthly update, again... life with two crazy girls usually seems to take precedent. but i have two more months in taking photos. and of course, NOW it's getting easier to do this monthly ritual!
oh how i adore this sweet girl. her personality bubbles up out of her from the moment she wakes until she lays down her head each night.
at 16 months, L :
- weighs approximately 32 pounds.
- nicknames : ladybug.
- goes to bed around 7:15p and wakes up around 8a although at times she sleeps as late as 9a.
- wears 2T clothing although some shirts need to be 3T to be long enough.
- has a crazy vocabulary and can verbalize quite well whatever she's trying to communicate to us. including putting two words together.
- adores her big sister. they get along so well and are partners in crime. they crack one another up.
- loves books. her current favorite is freight train, introduced to her at story time by miss carissa. luckily she'll be receiving her own copy soon.
- calls both the cats "duke." thomas is not thrilled by this. both cats are starting to be more tolerant of her high pitched shrieks however.
- favorite go to breakfast = peanut butter toast and a banana.
- runs to the kitchen as soon as she hears the blender. she loves smoothies and instantly is shouting, "juice! juice"
- swims like a fish. she adores swimming lessons and would spend the entire half hour of each session jumping off the side if it were allowed.
- is the only girl i know who's hair looks best when it's humid - her curls are lovely.
- has 10 teeth but luckily doesn't bite. *knock on wood*
- is the most easy going, laid back baby until she gets angry. and then watch out! she tends to throw things when mad.
- is following in C's footsteps and loves all thing sesame street. she can call by name and point out cookie monster, elmo, bert and ernie, abby and big bird.
- thinks m&ms should be a food group. she pronounces them as "em-ay, em-ays" and requests them whenever they might be in view or C mentions them to egg her on.
- can recognize the letters "o" and "e".
- loves singing the abc song and will sing a-g before fading out and joining in on random letters throughout the song.
- will always respond "blue" when you ask her what color something is.
