18 months.

 

oh this little one.  my little sidekick.  this photo cracks me up.  as she so often does.

at 18  months, L :

• weighs around 33 pounds.  will update after her appointment next week.
• is TALL.  everyone guesses she's older than she actually is.
• goes to be around 7:15p and wakes up between 7-7:30a.
• goes down for a nap at 1p and sleeps for about two hours.
• nickname : ladybug.
• loves having my undivided attention for a couple of hours after we drop C off for preschool.
• is equally excited to pick up her sister from preschool.  when i ask her if she wants to pick up C she always says, "pepas!  coming!" 
• has started swim lessons without me in the pool with her.  she is currently the only one in her class and the jury is still out if that's a good or bad thing.
• is enjoying storytime and seeing her friend harrison - her godfather's son - each week. 
• would eat string cheese for every meal and snack if allowed.
• loves animal crackers.  specifically the brand found in the target $1 spot.
• selects "goodnight moon" and "the going to bed book" to be read to her each night.
• is all about mr. and mrs. potato head and plays with them each day.  also loves her little people house and people. 
• has the loudest, piercing scream when she gets mad. 
• if she doesn't want to do something, she has this grunt which her father finds absolutely unnerving.
• when she can't do something, she'll say "help me!  help me!"  only it sounds more like one run-on word.
