18 Months...Happy Half-Birthday to Me

I can't believe I am a year and a half old already! I just can't seem to learn enough! After daddy went back to work, mommy took me to see some horses (one of my favorite animals!) We also went to the pool, splash park, and played in the sprinkler a lot. Nana Arden took care of me a couple of times while mommy had things she had to do and we had so much fun! She taught me how to walk up and down the stairs while holding the railing. (She thinks I need to hold her hand still, but I know I can do it by myself!) I was able to put a slip-on shoe on my foot all by myself too! When mommy or daddy start counting and say "one", I can say, "two, free"! I'm so smart! I also know that "gas" goes in a "awn mower" and "wee e-er" (lawn mower and weed eater). I like to pray to "Jesus" and the "possels" (apostles"). I said my first 3 syllable word too: "applesauce"! I ask questions like, "Where go?", and can tell mommy and daddy "all gone" and "all done". I repeat a lot of what mommy and daddy say. I got another eye tooth-that makes a total of 15, and another is coming in. I really like throwing my food on the floor, but mommy and daddy don't seem to happy about that. I had a surprise visit from grandma and grandpa today. I had a lot of fun showing them all my stuff! Mommy seems pretty sad though, because I am going back to the baby-sitter's tomorrow when she goes to work. I'm just excited to see my friends again! When I am thinking of something, I say, "hmmmm..." and tap my finger to my chin, like this: As close as I got to a horse without mommy Tea party set-up Line 'em all up See my baby blues Ballerina girl Waking up with daddy Sprinkler fun! Dancing with daddy Hula girl! Showing mommy the animals Reading with Grandma I love to count!

Diapers are good for more than one thing! (The funniest part is in the first few seconds...)
