18 Months

My sweet baby girl.... you're not so baby these days! It's been hard to sit down and blog about all your changes because your dad and I are constantly running after you!! That's right you are running.   You started walking just a couple months ago and that's all it took for you to be off and running.  We have now moved from DC back to Utah for 6 weeks and will be going to Hawaii in a couple days for a week then to DC for Dad's graduation from Medical school then we will move to Spokane!!  You've been such a trooper through all our crazy travels and I'm grateful.  You still wake up at night but I can't blame you cuz you wake up in a new bed almost every week it seems. 
Some fun things you do now are:
1. You like to Dancy Dance by swaying your little hips and hopping
2.  You hate eating.. you will put anything in your mouth chew it up and spit it out.  That's why you are still partially on the bottle. You do love all things cheese & cottage cheese.  But you still have poo problems and will hold onto me tight every time you have to poo because it's a traumatic event.  That's why we can't give you too much cheese.
3.  Your hair is long enough for a single pony which is adorable!!
4.  You still love books and will bring me book after book to read to you.  For each one you want to be either held on my lap or sit next to me for each story.
5.  You are addicted to Baby Einstein.  However, you only like certain ones and will say No No No if it's not the one you want.
6. You are talking like crazy! I have no idea how big your vocabulary is because it seems that everyday you say something new.  We even got you to say Avacado the other day! 
7.  When asked where your eyes are you bat them instead of point to them.
8.  When asked to say Thank you ... you will always say Thank you Dada
9.  You are extremely ticklish...especially under your chin :)
10.  You can now count to 10!! 
11.  When you get mad watch out.. you like to anger bite whatever is in your path.
12.  When you are really tired you get super giggly and crazy happy followed by a super melt down. It's pretty darn adorable.
13.  You will come into a room and say HIIII like here I am!!
14.  You won't touch animals but when we went to a friends house with chickens you were picking them up with no fear.
15.  Until recently you were terrified of grass.  You will now play in grass and run around as long as you have shoes on.  You still don't like to touch it.
16.  The other night we gave you your first big bubble bath and you hated it.  You were afraid of the bubbles and cried almost the entire time.  You especially hated it when Dada tried to put bubbles on your head.  You kept saying No Bubble No bubble..  Poor kiddo!! But you do love it when we turn on the bubble machine at Nanny Jo's house.
17.  We have tried to teach you colors but you always say Yellow.
18.  You call yourself Baby Wadoo and if I say Ronni you correct me and say Wadoo. 
19.  When you say anything with an S you say it through your nose with your nose scrunched up.  Like Snow, Snack, Sam, & Smell. 
20.  The new word you like to say when you are mad is Whale Whale Whale
21.  You can sign a lot of things like: more, table, milk, mama, dada, baby, eat, please and have made up your own sign for bath.
22.  I try to take pics of you and you like to ignore me when I have a camera.   Hopefully you get over that.
23.  When I rock you to sleep at night you immediatly say Ei Ei ohhhh because you want me to sing Old McDonald along with a bunch of other songs.  If I stop singing you will hold up your finger and say 1 More 1 More.  It's pretty cute.
24. You give anything soft a big snuggle and will roll all over and snuggie soft things all day.
25.  You will give sweet kisses that Dada and I LOVE!
