Our precious girl is 18 months old today!

Here's a little about our girl:

♥ She weighs 23 pounds.

♥ She is 31 inches tall.

♥ She says Mama, Dada, Ryee, Dah-yin, Ball, Kitty, Bock-Bock, No, Shooz, Bah-Bah, Bath, Up, Mess, More, Peeze, Eat, Dink, Uh-oh, Hot, Nigh-Nigh, Bye, and All None (All Done).

♥ She loves to follow her brother and sister around and do whatever they do.

♥ She is so busy and loves to make messes!

♥ She is kind of a picky eater. She loves bananas, goldfish, graham crackers, yogurt, broccoli, string cheese, beans, cucumbers, pretzels, edemame, and mandarin oranges.

♥ She loves babies, she is quite the little Mommy, she rocks them, feeds them and cuddles them.

♥ She loves shoes, she has to have them on as early as she can in the day! 

♥ She loves Minnie Mouse, she calls her Mit Mouh, it's the cutest!

♥ She still takes a bottle, we are working on breaking that habit.

♥ She is sassy and doesn't like being bossed. She'll give you the what for if it's necessary!

♥ She loves music and dances her little heart out to a good tune!

♥ She loves to pretend she's a puppy, it's so funny. She will crawl around on all fours looking for items to bring me in her mouth.

♥ She loves the word Yay. She says it anytime she's happy or excited about something.

♥ She is a climber! No large/high up object is too hard for her to scale.

♥ She went to her first day of nursery two weeks ago and loved it! She didn't even cry!
Yesterday was not so good. She screamed and wouldn't stay. Hopefully things get better for her!

♥ She is almost one year post op and growing so well. Her heart is functioning as it should and she is growing nicely. We are so proud of our Heart Warrior!

♥ She still sleeps in a crib and will until I say she's done. It's nice not having to worry about her getting up at night or climbing out!

♥ She wears size 4 diapers and size 12, 18-24 month clothes. She wears size 5 shoes and is still a skinny minny!

♥ She has the longest hair, we are getting ready to even it out and rid her of her mullet. I love that I can curl it! These pictures are some of the first I have with it curled. 

♥ She can tell you where her eyes, nose, mouth, teeth, ears and hairbow are. Yes, her hairbow. Thanks to me, she knows the name of it and where it is on her head! LOL.
