Gah! We have been such slackers with the blog for a while, but I want to get back into it. Maëlle is now 16 1/2 months old. She is amazing. She is talking and babbling all the time, running around everywhere and curious about everything. Here is a quick snap shot all about her:
Words: Dad-doo(for Daddy), Ba-ba(Bottle), Eye, Ball, Mama, and she will mimic "I Love You!"
Smarts: She can point to all parts of her body when you ask her too, including head, shoulders, knees, toes, belly, eyes, nose, mouth, hair, ears, wrist, chin, and fingers. Pretty dang cute.
-She loves to READ--she will open books on her own and make sounds to mimic reading. Her favorite books include: MOO, I Have to GO!, Mortimer, Hugaboo, I Love You, Peek-a-Baby, and my 100 First Words.
-She loves to dance. She has discovered Ring-Around-the-Rosy, and pretty much would do it all day it I didn't stop. She also dances to the FlashDance song (She's a maniac, maniac on the floor....) by moving her feet really fast. She also loves Head, Shoulders Knees and toes, and **throat clearing** Shake your Booty.
-Favorite songs for singing: Little Bunny Foo Foo, I Am a Child of God, Heavenly Father Loves Me, You are my Sunshine, and many more...
-She is no longer nursing, something that just kind of happened. She also puts herself to sleep at night, no more rocking, and is sleeping through the night, no interruptions, and I am in heaven.
-Favorite activities: Swimming, splashing, bath time, playing at the park (swings, slides, etc...) Spinning, exploring outside, walks, being scared(BOO!) reading stories, saying prayers(SOOOOOO adorable), cuddling (which makes mommy very happy,) climbing up and down stairs, and being tickled.
With nursery right around the bend, and her growing so fast, I can't help but grow a little nostalgic....those baby times go so fast. But with all the joy she brings us each day, I say BRING ON THE TODDLER STAGE! We can't wait!
