WOW- I am now one-and-a-half. Mommy says that means I am now a big girl and can learn to do lots of new things: She is teaching me to help put up my toys at the end of the day. I am not supposed to cry and fuss much now that I am a big girl. I get to help stir things when Mommy is cooking. And, I like to help carry in the groceries from the car.
It also means I am becoming more independent - I want to pick out what books we read. I sometimes have a say about what clothes/shoes I want to wear. I think I am big enough to choose what I will eat/not eat - but Mommy still makes me eat my veggies even when I protest.
Today at church, the nursery workers told Mommy what a JOY I am in the nursery. They said that I help the new kids- showing them how things work. And that I help clean up the toys when it is time to go home. This put a HUGE smile on Mommy's face.
Mommy and Daddy say that I seem to be learning new words every few days. Here is a list of my vocabulary:
Dog (always said as "dog-dog"), Ball, Cracker, Ice-cream, Cereal, Cheese, Apple, Juice, Shoes, Noah, Yeah, Elmo, Book, Pooh, Blue (for blueberry- my favorite fruit), Mama, Dada, NaiNai, Nana, and Thank You.
Other Tidbits about me at 18 months:
- I have 12 teeth - just waiting for the incisors and 2nd molars and I'll be all done.
- I LOVE looking out the window each morning to see if the neighbors' dog is in the yard and watching him play. (Mommy was relieved the other day when she asked me if I wanted a dog-dog, and I shook my head NO).
- I LOVE books, especially ones with animals or ones that make noise (and especially the ones that make animal noises:)
- I am much more social now and don't mind strangers as much (except the guy that comes by to clean up the table at Cici's pizza - I try to jump in Mommy's lap each time he makes his rounds).
- I am a pretty good sleeper. I've adjusted well to only one nap. And, even if I wake up early in the morning, I am OK to just play in my crib until Mommy or Daddy come to get me at 7am.
- I LOVE to watch the Fisher Price Little People videos. Mommy has to limit me to only one 30 minute session a day (b/c she thinks I could sit and watch it all day if she would let me).
Preview of the cuteness:
This cuteness keeps Mommy & Daddy laughing:
I think I will just relax here and read while Daddy checks out at the book store:
I love wearing Mommy's house slippers:
Usually I HATE wearing a hat, but this day I put it on and did not want to take it off:
