18 months!

Little B is officially 18 months. Don't ask me when that happened because I really have no idea.

Here are some fun facts about her:

-She talks all the time. One of my favorite things to hear her say is "Oh NOOOOO!" It's especially cute when she says it when things like her DVD skips. She makes it sound like it's the end of the world.

-She loves to say "Hiiiiiii Da-da!" or "Hiiiiiii Ma-ma!" whenever we greet her. One of the cutest is when I tell her "Hi Baby!" and she replies, "Hiiiii baby!" (or Mama, whatever she feels like at the time)

-If she's in bed with me in the morning, she wakes me up with lots and lots of kisses and hugs which totally start my day right.

-She's starting to show interest in potty training! Now if I can only get my butt in gear and get her going. I'll admit, I'm scared.

-She loves the pool, especially with daddy. And has the cutest bikini tan.

-Her hair is so long and she is FINALLY letting me put headbands and pigtails in her hair because she looks "Pretty pretty."

-She loves the weekend when daddy is home and trying to find daddy when he's hidden in the bed.

-She loves french fries. And fruit. And cookies. And almost everything else.

-She loves to dance and sing to herself.

-She is constantly asking us to watch "Baby" which is Baby Signing Time and/or "Momo" which is Elmo. Myka and I (and everyone else who comes to our house) are tired of both.

-She sucks her thumb still but is slowly weaning herself off with our help.

-Whenever I tell her we are going home she yells "DADA!" and associates home with Daddy which I find adorable.

-Every Monday morning when Myka goes back to work, she wakes up and runs through the house yelling for daddy.

-She loves the dog and is constantly bossing him around, telling him "No, NO!" and trying to pick him up even though he is terrified of her.

-She loves babies. And also big kids. She's so social and has tons of friends. All ages and sizes. I love it!

-She signs SO much which is so fun and is starting to put together sentences. Myka and I have really had to start watching out language! ;)

- She loves to read to herself and can read books all day.

-She hates when I pull out the camera and the stinker constantly closes her eyes when I take pictures of her!

-She copies everything I do and is truly a mini Mommy. It trips me out.

-She loves her GMA (who she renamed MiMi) and is always running to the door and yelling for her

-She is full of hugs and kisses and hates when anyone leaves her behind

-She loves walking to the corner liquor store with her Poppy for ice cream

And SO much more!

She weighs in at 24.6 lbs (50th percentile) and is 33.75 inches long, which is still off the charts. I absolutely LOVE the stage she is at now and wish I could keep her this age forever. :(

And now for the pictures:

Ready for the pool in my new goggles

Smiling and ready to go before her 18 month shots
Has to sit in the big girl chair just like mommy!

Her imagination is incredible. Playing in her diaper box.
We didn't make it to the pool yet with her goggles, so she wears them in the bath :)

Daddy taught her to smile so he could send me a picture of her and she does this weird face scrunch. It's adorable.

Sweet B
Kisses for Daddy
And hugs too!

She's got him wrapped around her finger ;)

All tuckered out from the pool

Is it possible for her to be more of a troublemaker when she wears this shirt?!
One day she'll kill me for this. But here's my big girl on the big girl potty!
Her favorite game to play: Run away from Mommy when she says "come here!"
Mommy and mini Mommy ;)

Copying mommy and putting lotion on her feet

Playing in her box with Daddy

Her daily naptime ritual. Don't ask my why, but it helps put her to sleep.
