The last few months have been a whirlwind but you are growing and learning so fast. I can't believe you are 16 months old! You are less and less like a baby everyday and more like a toddler with a mind of her own.
You are about 22 lbs and 31 inches long. You wear size 4 diapers, size 5 shoe and 18 and 24 month clothes.
Things that you've learned since your 1st birthday:
- I'm most surprised by your communication so I've attempted to write down all the words you say that are understandable and not just ones that you repeat but something you will say/identify on your own.
- You can say and identify/use properly: Mama, Dada, Daddy, Nana, Papa, Aubrey, Abby, ball, duck, light, hi, up, down, uh oh, outside, out, door, hello, this, that, eat, milk, drink, please, snack, love you, thank you, star, one, two, five, go, let's go, ready, yes, no, mine, whoa, don't know, shoe, eye, nose, ear, mouth, out, copter, airplane, whale, movie, bath, night night, bye bye and my personal favorite right now, turtle. You surprise me everyday with more words you say and how willing you are to repeat words you don't know. I'm sure I missed lots and there are a bunch more words/things that you can identify but don't say.
- You know what the cow, monkey, snake, tiger, cat, dog, bird, fish and sheep says.
- You know where the eye, nose, ear, chin, mouth, teeth, head, hair, belly, hand, fingers, foot and toes are.
- You can walk pretty fast, walk backwards and are starting to try to jump. You can go up stairs without crawling if there's only a couple and are getting close to going down.
- You are still a great eater and are getting more and more independent. There are some meals where you want to do everything yourself and are getting better with the spoon.
- You have only 4 teeth with one more just poking through.
- When I ask the question, "what's this/that?" you just repeat this/that. We're working on that one.
- You are really good at picking up and putting things away where we ask.
- You now give closed mouth kisses and make the sound. It's really cute but I think I'm going to miss the open mouth wet kisses.
- You love your daddy so much. The last couple months since he's gotten home has been so much fun to watch.
