Happy year-and-a-half birthday! The months are flying by and you are doing so many new things every time I turn around.
Words you now say: buh-buh (bird), whooooa
Sounds you now make: growls a la Cookie Monster
Commands you now give me: you tap your high chair tray when you see me with food and want me to put it on the tray
Vain moments you have had: you were crying one night after I took you out of your bath (you hate getting out) but stopped when you became captivated by the reflection of yourself in your hooded bath towel in the bathroom mirror (I'll admit, though, you do look pretty darn cute in your hooded towel!)
Other things you do now:
-run over really fast and give me a hug when I come into the room (I love it every time!)
-bite me playfully (playful or not, though, sometimes it hurts!)
-lay on your belly and flip through books for long stretches
-sit on your toy drum and look at books
-push your drum to the window and stand on it to look outside
-tap your crotch and butt when you poop
-scribble with markers and crayons
-behave so well during long, 9-hour car trips (we went to Pittsburgh for Thanksgiving) because you are so transfixed by cars and trucks, you entertain yourself by just watching all of the vehicles on the road
-insist on putting your books and toys back on your toy shelf before we leave the house, even if I tell you it's okay to leave them!
-automatically expect food when we visit JieJie's preschool classroom; at her class's apple party last month, you immediately walked over to the table, sat down and patiently waited for the food to be passed out as soon as the presentation was over--before any of the other kids even did it!
Happy 18-month birthday, sweetie!
Love,
Mom
