18 Months Old!!

I really cannot believe Anne Bailey is a year and a half old today! Time sure does fly when you are having fun! She is still just the sweetest and funniest little girl! She is constantly entertaining us and making us laugh. She loves to give hugs and kisses and has started saying "love you" when you say "I  love you" to her. She has definitely started trying to assert herself these days! She is not shy about letting you know what she does and does not want to do. She is already pretty bossy so I do feel sorry for her little brother or sister. She is doing better about stopping something when we tell her no but we still have a long way to go!

Anne Bailey is still very busy and runs all over the place. She is so curious about everything and loves to learn new things. She uses over 100 words on a regular basis and will repeat anything you say. She is also putting words together and has said a couple sentences. Her favorite word right now is "momma". She says it over and over all day!! I really don't mind it because it just proves that I am her favorite person :). She is so smart and is constantly pointing at things and naming them. She knows tons of animals and what sounds they make as well as knowing all of her body parts. She is also learning peoples names and will say their names when she sees them in person or a picture of them. The cutest thing is that she has now changed Big Mike's name to "my Mike." How sweet is that?

Anne Bailey  is still a very picky eater so we have a limited list of food she likes. Her favorites right now are yogurt, eggs, applesauce, Gerber grabbers, puffs, cereal, and any kind of cracker. She really dislikes any meat, fruit, or vegetable. She will pretty much tell you what she wants to eat each meal. She has been working on eating with a spoon but so far most of the food ends up back on the plate. She loves her sippy cup and has started drinking out of a straw. Her favorite drinks are milk, water, and juice.Her favorite activities right now are dancing, sliding, swinging, reading, playing with Ca Ca(Cabo) and Greta, taking care of her babies and feeding the ducks at the park.

Happy 18 Month Birthday!! We love you!
