16 months...

...and a full fledged toddler now!
attitude, moxie and preciousness all wrapped in a walking bundle

what a nut!

happy birthday, Ruby dear!

oh he is SO gonna get it!

watermelon juice on her chin. just like her mama :)

The newest words are "down", "outside", "buzzzz", "door", "grape" and "water".
She really likes other toddlers. When we are in the park she goes up to them and wants to play. It's so cute to see her socializing. She doesn't have any inhibitions.
We saw a mom and son playing hide and seek in the park and she got so excited when the mom found her son, she ran over to them laughing, wanting to share in the excitement. She looked at them as if to say, "I saw him too!!! Isn't it amazing?! Do it again!"

She also gets really excited about water fountains and sprinklers, playing in them and watching them.

These days she is going to bed around 7:30pm and gets up anywhere between 6am and 8am. But she usually goes back to sleep for an hour or so after breakfast. Then she takes a nap sometime between 1 and 3pm. I'm trying to figure out when would be a good regular time for us to go to the gym together (they have childcare for members). Maybe this fall we will settle into a nice routine. We shall see!
