*18 months*

It is insane to think that my baby is now a toddler and is 18 months old!!  Kleenex, anyone?  She is so so so smart.  I know I shouldn't brag, but it's alright when it's  your kid, right?





She is running, jumping, and climbing on everything.  This has caused me to have several mini heart attacks.  Jumping off the couch, falling down the steps, almost falling off the bed, climbing on the dining room table (you've got to be kidding me <--- thoughts that went through my mind).  Luckily, no major injuries, just bumps and bruises.  She is just SO rough!

In the last month we have gone to St. George Island to the beach and to Steinhatchee.  She has gone on her first boat ride, went swimming in the ocean, had her first viral rash, and has started to pee pee and poop in the potty (not consistently yet, but we are working on it).



I think her eyes might be turning green.

She weighs 25 pounds and I am buying her 24 month or 2T clothes.  Big girl.

Norah Kate still has her sassy (paci).  I almost had it taken away, except naps and bedtime... but then she got sick and it was the only thing that would keep her calm/happy.  Now we are back a square one with weaning her from it.

She has gotten to where she will put her hand down  my shirt in public and/or pull my shirt down and say "Boobie!"  This is not so cute, especially when she is making me accidentally flash people.  The joys of motherhood!

I have kept her on the go a lot this summer, mainly because I think she gets stir crazy at home... but sometimes she thinks we are supposed to always be going somewhere which isn't really easy when I am  full time student.

She is going through another clingy phase also.  She has to be right on top or under me, but I don't mind.  I have learned how to type papers and do research all while she is in my lap.

She is saying everything!  She will tell Hoss to "Sit!" and "Good Boy!"  When we were at Steinhatchee, she asked the waitress for "snack" and "fries" and "Thank you!"  Haha, she is most definitely an independent one.  She can pretty much repeat anything (thank goodness I don't have a foul mouth!) and once she learns a word she is really good a remembering what it means.  We are working on colors and she can count to five.  She missed numbers occasionally but it is so cute because she always adds a "Yay!" on the end.  She is starting to sing the words to songs... she was singing Rock a bye to her baby the other day, "Rock a bye in the top"  it was so precious!  When we say her prayers at night she says "Amen." 

My house stays a wreck half the time because she drags out quicker than I can clean up.  She is in to everything!  Her personality is in full bloom, all of the sweetness and diva-ness, and pure rotten  all together.  She is more sweet than anything though, but very strong willed... but I have said that from day one.  I think we are venturing into the "Terrible 2's."  Lord, help.  Oh well, with each phase there has definitely been more good than bad and I wouldn't trade it for anything!
 



I love that little girl more than anything!
