Yes, believe it or not, my little Lily turned 16 months on May 1st! She is growing up sooo fast! Here's what she's been doing lately.
- Reading books is pretty much her favorite thing to do...besides going outside!
- Hop on Pop and When The Rain Came Down are her two favorite books right now
- She loves baby dolls and usually takes one with her where ever she goes. She has 4 or 5 in her crib that sleep with her.
- With the warmer weather lately, we've been spending lots of time outside! Whenever we have to come in, she stands at the door saying "side" over and over because she wants to go back out.
- She is such a big helper to me - she helps empty the dishwasher (by handing me the silverware/utensils and I put them away), put clothes in the washer and dryer and she pulls the clean, dry clothes out of the dryer into a basket, and she loves to take her dirty clothes to the laundry basket in her room.
- Her vocabulary is growing everyday. She tries to say everything we do! She recognizes a few words like "Hi" and "arms up" and she's learning shapes and colors. She is a very eager learner!
- Loving her little brother and tries to play with him and read him stories. Sometimes she gets a little too much in his face, but she usually does pretty well with him.
- Weighing about 21 pounds and wearing mainly 18 month clothes, but still some 12 month stuff.
- She wants so bad to wear her panties and not a diaper, but she hasn't gotten peepee down yet. She's great to tell me when she needs to go poopoo though. If any of you have any advice, I'd love to hear it!
- Whenever I'm in the kitchen cooking supper or baking something, she loves to be right there sitting on the counter "helping" me! I love it!
- She's in the stage where she doesn't like people (out and about) getting her face, hugging her, or trying to pick her up. It's a hard stage because it makes family think she doesn't like them anymore, but really she does, she's just Miss Independent!
- Gradually moving to 1 nap a day. Sometimes she still takes 2 short naps, but we're slowly getting her down to 1 longer nap in the early afternoon.
She is getting so big! I just love her little button nose sooo much. What a sweet girl she is!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful little girl she is turning into. You are such an amazing mom for documenting their progress every month. I am impressed and you will treasure these posts for years to come.
ReplyDeleteShe is such a doll! It's so sweet that you already have her helping with laundry too.:)
ReplyDeleteAh, Lily is so pretty. Looks so much like her momma! I just can't believe how much she's grown. Sweet little babe - now toddler with a baby brother. Where does time go?
ReplyDeleteIs she already potty training?? I have a daughter who is 2 weeks younger and I haven't even thought about that, except that I'm dreading it. I would love to know what you are doing. :)
