Lolo - 17 Months

Lolo,

You are 17 months old!  You are becoming quite the independent little girl.  You have an opinion about everything it seems and aren't afraid to tell us "no" if you don't want to do something.  You love going outside and will stand by the door and say "side," a million times until we take you out.  When we take you out you stand by the step and put your hand up and say "help" until we come and help you down the step.  You got a wagon for your first birthday.  We thought you would love riding in it.  When we took you out in it you only wanted to push it, no riding for you...little stinker.  And when we go for "stroller rides" around the neighborhood, you like fully relaxing with your leg up on the tray.  So funny!

You love little kids and when you see our neighbors kids you scream with such delight, it's so funny!

You still love to watch baby signing time in the morning and have started doing signs I didn't even know you knew, like car and flower.  I am pretty sure you pick up on a lot more than we give you credit for and are quite the smart little girl.

You sat with me one night and watched about 20 minutes fo Tangled and loved it.  You have also watched bits and pieces of The Lion King and when it gets to the scary parts you tells us "all done." 

When you fall or drop something you say, "oh no."  It's so cute!  You still love you babies!

When you are tired or not feeling well, you tell us "noooooo" when you dont want something.  It's quite dramatic. :)

You love playing with ice and in the water.  It will keep you entertained for quite sometime. 

You also love staring at yourself in the mirror and saying "lolo."

I taught you the word "mine."  What was I thinking?!  You tell us "mine" especially when it comes to your blankie.  Usually the first word when you wake up from your nap when you see us, is "mine" as you grab your blankie.

When we go to Target and I get a drink from Starbucks, you immediately want my cup.  So now, I ask them for an extra empty cup just for you.  Spoiled much?!

You can make most of the animal sounds, including snake, lizard, bear, cow, and owl.

You love pulling your shirt up and telling us where your belly button is.  You also think its funny to stick your finger in your nose. 

You give the best little hugs and have started sayin "ohhh" when you hug us, you also make the smacking sound when you give us kisses.  So sweet! 

You love brushing your teeth and ask to do so at least twice a day, if not more. 

When we ask if you want to eat, you will go to your high chair and say eat, then when you are getting ready to eat, you say "pray" and put your hands together.  I love that you do this! 

It seems like you are changing so much these days.  You are becoming such a little girl.  You are definately going to be head strong, determined, and stubborn.  You are also the sweetest, most cuddly baby.  We just love you so very much sweet girl!  I love watching you grow and change, I just wish the days would go a little slower. 

Lolo - 16 Months

Lolo,

 

My sweet little girl, you are 16 months old and just as fun as can be! 

You love pushing your stroller through the house with your baby or Minnie in it. 

Your nana taught you how to wink, and it is just so cute! 

It snowed a few times this month and you love looking out the window and saying, "no" and pointing at the snow.  When put down in the snow for a brief second though, you were not a fan.  You still love your snacks and ask for them all the time. 

Since you started walking, you have become an independent little girl and always want "dow" and free to walk everywhere, including the stores we go in. 

You went to Disney World again this month and had so much fun, minus getting sick. 

You love all things girly and carry your purse around like a big girl.  You love to wear my bracelets and necklaces too. 

You love cookies, definately know what the word means, and always ask for more when given a small piece. You must get this from me. 

You are such a mommy's girl, but love your daddy so much too.  Your cousin Lexi loves you so much and dresses you up in her princess dresses everytime you are around her. 

Recently you have started playing tea party with us and its so cute.  You don't like to share your tea, but you do like to "cheers" and fill your cup up. 

Since the weather has been nicer we have been going on runs in our neighborhood with Roxy.  You love this!  You just sit back and relax in your stroller and eat your snacks.  I am so glad you enjoy this! 

We lost our sweet dog Macy this past month, and you must have sensed how upset I have been because you have been extra cuddly with me and extra clingy.  Everytime you see her picture, you point to it and say, "baby."     

We love you so so much sweet girl!  Your sweet personality is so contagious and your cute little grin just melts my heart.  I wish time would slow down a bit, but I sure do love watching you grow into your cute little self.  We just adore you!!
