16 MONTHS
You are getting to be such a big girl. It is amazing how much you change each day. You are starting to be able to follow instructions (all but the word no). We can ask you if you want to take a bath and you will go to the bath tub and try to get in. We can tell you to go play your piano and you will walk over to the piano. You can always locate your dog when we ask "where is your dog?" You will also get your shoes and you know what your socks are and then you sit down to let us put them on (you always try to put them on, but you haven't figured that out yet). Basically, you can bring us lots and lots of things now. You still have trouble listening to the word no though. However, you love to point your finger at Mommy and Daddy and tell us NO and what you're thinking. You can say so many words now! You will repeat a lot of them for Mommy during the day, but Daddy doesn't believe us since you won't do it for him in the evening. You know where your eye, nose, mouth, and ear are. We'll be driving along and hear "eye, eye, eye" and you are sitting in the back seat poking your eye like crazy. You can find eyes on animals, humans, anyting that has an eye. Now that the Christmas tree is up you love to go and take all the ornament off the tree and then take off running b/c you know you're in trouble.
You had another ear infection the other week and were put back on amoxicillin. You just got off amoxicillin Saturday and then woke up Tuesday with another cold. Not to mention the fact that you have eight teeth coming in at once. You love to chew on your fingers during the day. I guess anything to help them feel better.
You weighed a whoppin 18lbs and 9oz Thursday when you went to the Dr. That is a whole 9oz more then just two weeks earlier. Glad that you are gaining some more weight, but you're starting to become a picky eater. You love to snack, but when it comes to eating with Mommy and Daddy you're not quite as good of an eater.
