18 months

Our sweet Olivia is 18 months old today! Where has the time gone?? I cannot believe in six short months we will have a two year old! While I am a little sad she's no longer my little baby, I must say I absolutely LOVE this age! She is so full of life and personality. Olivia loves to be be silly and make people laugh. She's so friendly and has to say "hi" to EVERY person she sees. She had her 18 month appointment today and did really great! At 18 months she:

• is 32.9 inches tall- 80%
• weighs 27 pounds-85%
• head is 18.8 inches-75%
• wears size 2T clothes 
• wears size 5 diapers and pull-ups so she can pull them down easier to go potty. She had gone in her potty 4 times now and tries to go several times a day :)
• Loves her food and drinking her milk out of a straw. Her favorite foods are raviolis with meatballs, strawberries, corn, and beans
• sleeps from about 10 at night until 9:30 in the morning with a 2 hour nap in the afternoon
• still has 12 teeth and loves to brush them
• loves going up and down the stairs
• is starting to learn some sign language. I was not really sure I wanted to teach her sign language because I didn't want her to rely on that as her primary communication method but I've taught her a few basics signs and she seems to like it and stills says them too
• mimicks everything we say and do and loves telling us stories
• loves pretend play, like talking on the phone, cooking in her kitchen, and taking care of her baby dolls
• is obsessed with the show The Fresh Beat Band... not sure how I feel about it
• is such a daddy's girl 
• hates having her picture taken
