Lily, Today you turned 18 months old and you continue to be such a joy! You are so sweet, cuddly, funny, love to explore, and try new things. You can now say: Mama (but usually you call me Dada), Dada, please (plus you do the sign for it), more (which sounds like bore, with the sign), the sign for eat, eyes, nose (sounds like dose), star, ball, dog, duck, baby, apple, up, help (which sounds a lot like up), baba (for water? not sure why?), no-no, bark (for park), uh-oh, and num-num when something is good. So, your up to about 20 words! Your favorite thing to do lately is listen to music and dance. Whatever room we go into you point for where we play the music, bounce up and down, and say please until we turn it on. You still love to read your books, swim with Papa, play hide-n-seek and be chased, and push your stroller around. Some of your new things you do are blink your eyes and smile at new people or when you're flirting, carry purses around, wear Mama's necklaces and bracelets, go in the big girl bath tub (finally!), give kisses to everyone who asks, and try on your pants, shoes, and shirts (although you can't usually get them all the way on yet). You are 85th percentile for height and 45th for weight...you're dropping! Mama thinks it's because you STILL refuse to drink milk (you only drink about 5 oz a day).
We love being your parents and watch you learn and grow! You are our favorite girl in the whole wide world and you're going to be the best big sister to your little brother!
