18 Months Old!

Callie Beth was 18 months old on the 21st.  I can’t believe how much time flies!  She is such a fun and happy little girl.   She is such a blessing and amazes us each day.  It is really hard to remember our lives without her.    Her second birthday will be here before we know it.

Here is what’s going on with her these days:

• Her vocabulary is growing every day
• She loves to read
• She is a picky eater (not about what she eats but when she eats)
• She loves babies but really enjoys playing with the big kids
• She is down to one nap a day (most days)
• She definitely tests her limits but overall she is a good girl.  She really doesn’t throw many fits.  She actually stays in time-out when she is put there
• She still LOVES her blankie
• She has 16 teeth
• She loves to talk on the phone (both pretend and real)
• She rarely lets you feed her anymore.  She is pretty good at using a spoon and a fork.
• She loves to dance
• She is still in 18 month clothes (and probably will be for awhile).  She just got into wearing size 6 shoes.
• Enjoys writing and drawing
• Can climb and go down 3 steps without holding on
• Likes to help around the house
• Knows a lot of parts of her body
• Can kick a ball the entire length of our backyard
• She loves to be upside down and thrown around

Laughing as she thinks it is so funny to run from me while I try to take pictures.

In deep thought…planning her next move! Silly girl!At 9 months, her head was just up to the top of the white spotYes, she still has the same scowl as her Daddy
