at 18 months...

Happy Year-and-a-Half, Sadie!

Here are some fun facts about our 18 month old:

  • She will often play in her crib for up to 30 minutes after waking up in the morning and after naps. This is when I hear her say things like "come here!" "whatchoo doing?" "oh, no baby" and "let's see..." Sometimes I just hang out by the monitor and listen.
  • She loves to wear hats
  • Her favorite thing to drink is water
  • Her two most uttered words are "where" and "no"
  • She needs 24/7 access to her belly button
  • She will ask for the "other side" when she's nursing and whisper "nigh-night" when she's done and ready to go to sleep
  • She has liked Reggae music since she was an infant
  • She loves candles and says "flicker, flicker" when she sees them
  • She likes to climb stairs but hasn't gone down a slide (by her own volition) yet
  • Her favorite song to sing is "My Lady Wind" from her Music Together class CD
  • She has never thrown a tantrum
  • She has a birthmark on her left ankle
  • She gives hugs, kisses, high-fives and blows kisses
  • She can blow her nose
  • She likes to do "cheers" with whatever she's drinking
  • She has an awesome appetite and so far we've had almost no issue with
    picky eating
  • She likes to say "funny sound" and make them
  • She naps once a day from about 2 until 5
  • She usually goes to bed by 9 PM and sleeps anywhere from 11-13 hours each night
  • She likes bagels
  • She loves loves loves dogs
  • She got her first black eye yesterday when she fell and hit her face on her little wooden chair
  • She loves baths and likes having her finger & toenails clipped
She is easily the most special person in our lives and we still can't believe she's really ours.

Sadie is in the 90th percentile for weight at 28 pounds and off the charts for height, at 34.5 inches (2' 10.5")
And she started going down the slide today at the park. Funny that I had just mentioned that.
