18 Month Update

Here is Emily's 18-month update (She hasn't had her 18 month appt yet, so I'll update the weight/height at a later date!)
Eating Habits: Her new favorite is craisins! She continues to love pasta, bananas, ham, Cheerios, oatmeal, and goldfish. She is beginning to want to take over the fork/spoon- I will put the food down on her highchair, and she will pierce the food with the fork and put it in her mouth.
Language: She is a babbler. She hasn't really said many words, although she points at things and says "itsat?" so I think she is getting curious. She knows some sign language so we usually know what she wants.
Naps: Her napping schedule is a bit erratic right now. She used to go down at 9-10a and then again at 5:30 or 6, but we think she is ready for just 1 nap a day. The problem is that I leave for work at 1:15 every day- so we're not sure what would be the best time for a nap. This is something we're working on!
Teeth: 6 on the top, 6 on the bottom.
Clothes: She is starting to outgrow her 18-month clothes. Some of her 24 month clothes fit- and even some 2T, but all of the pants are a little big around the waist. So I guess you could say we're in an awkward in-between stage!
Favorites: Her new thing is she loves for us to open the pantry for her and she "rearranges" all the food. She also continues to love to go outside. She finds her jacket and boots and wants me to help her put them on. It breaks my heart to have to say no sometimes because (even though it's March) it's still too cold most days! She also continues to love her baths/water. Her new favorite movie is Frozen, and thank god because I'm starting to get a little sick of Lion King and Bolt! She is getting very good at petting Torque nicely, and continues to love anything dogs! Her favorite toys right now are: "Fisher" the dog, (the one here), her Lovey, anything she can push/pull, the box from her new carseat, and she continues to try to get our remotes/cell phones.
Personality: She is just the sweetest little girl. She is packed full of energy. She is very curious, and so smart. Overall, she is like a dream child.

Also, today will be my 1st day back to work after my whooping cough "incident"! I am SOOO excited to get back to work!
