16 Months:

Holy moly! My big girl is 16 months today! In the past week alone, she's sprouted 3 more teeth, making a grand total of 11! Wow!

She moved fully into 18 month clothing and size 5 shoes.

She can point out the following animals:

dog

cat

turtle

elephant

duck

monkey

crab

bird

frog

She can point out the following body parts on herself:

hair

eyes

nose

mouth

tongue

cheeks

chin

ears

fingers

toes

shoulders

knees

belly button/belly

boob

She's trying harder and harder to talk and currently can say:

mama

dada

papa

doug

dog

duck

boob

help

yep

up

toes

quack

woof

ball

She dances all over the place and sings along with songs (not quite with words, but she's working on it).

(she also recently discovered her shadow!)

Her current favorite foods are:

frozen grapes

frozen strawberries

frozen blueberries

bananas

goldfish

mini poptarts

(mmm. blueberries!)

She tries to read books, feeds & rocks her baby, sings to it and takes it for stroller rides, stacks blocks, colors, plays with her mini laptop, water table, and seashells in her water bucket, and loves to play in the baby pool. She also still loves to help mommy however she can, be it laundry, dishes, cleaning up toys or gardening.

Things to Know Next Time...

So I'm gradually learning more about gardening as I continue on. And apparently a few of the items that I currently have are not in fact suitable for this growing season.
