18 Months

I feel like I should already start planning your second birthday because time is just flying by. 
You are absolutely the sweetest most loving little girl.  You love to give hugs and kisses.  And when you hug, you hug hard and you squeeze. 
You love me but you are loving your daddy right now.  The two of you have been spending a lot of time together and he is your #1 right now.  That's okay though. 
You started saying "up" for when you want to get up, down and out of something. You also put your hands up in the air and shrug your shoulders to say I don't know.
You put your babies to bed everynight the same way we put you to bed (family hug, kisses, blanket, lovey).  It's cute! 
You have three new teeth this month.  One of your bottom front teeth and two molars.  Those were no fun.  You are also getting over a cold so we better hurry and get your flu shot!  Old man winter is right around the corner! 
Here is what we did in October in:

We ate our favorite:spagetti!

We swang with Elmo

We made homemade ice cream

We went to a pumpkin patch

And we played with our shadow

Words, Words, Words...
We say something and ask you to say it and you do.  Sometimes it is pretty clear what you are saying and other times it is definitely a guess.  You sing the ABC song and for the most part it is jibberish until you get to the part  "wonder what you think of me".  We can tell exactly what you are saying.
I am thinking about potty training soon.  You tell me when you go to the bathroom so I know that is one of the first signs that you are ready to start.  I am sure it will take months but better now than never.
Overall you are super happy, easy going kid.  Can't wait to see what the next month has in store.
