18 Months


How is my baby already 18 months old??? She has become such a sweet, fun and smart little girl. She is learning new things each day and I just love watching her mind work when she figures something out.

At 18 months Caroline:

-Weighs 24 lbs 8 ozs and is 33 inches long
-can point out body parts on herself and on other people
-can make animal sounds (cow, cat, dog, sheep, horse, bee)
-says "please" and "thank you" at appropriate times...love the good manners!
-says "excuse me" when she burps or toots or when anyone else does. Also when she hears us cough or sneeze.
-can name some items/people (apple, milk, elbow, baby, Mama, Dada, Mimi, Papa, Annie)
-Goes up stairs while holding onto the railing
-Walks and runs faster every day!
-Loves going to the park and going down the slide by herself
-Likes to "help" mommy and daddy do whatever they are doing
-Loves reading her books and having us read them to her (over and over and over again!)
-Does pretend play--pretends to stir with a spoon and bowl, pretends to wash her babies with shampoo and a wash cloth, etc
-Climbs all over furniture and us...she is fearless!
-Loves the "Baby Signing Time" video she got for her birthday
-Gives high-fives and down lows
-Gives kisses and hugs (complete with the "awww")
-Loves Gymboree class
-Is learning to share
-Is a pretty good eater and will try new things. Although, is she doesn't like it, it comes right back up.
-Gets frustrated when she can't tell us what she wants
-Knows exactly what she wants and is not afraid to tell you "no"...usually it is more like "no no no no no no" along with stomping feet
-Has made us happier than we ever thought possible!
