16 Month Update...Only A Week and A Half Late!

16 months going on 6.....it's unreal. I cannot believe how quick she picks up on things now. She's our little parrot, repeating just about everything she can that comes out of our mouths. She's started putting two and three words together and it still shocks me every time. Some of her new words include:

Aso (Oso - Disney show)

Manana (Banana - she used to say Mana)

I wuh you
Otay (Okay)

Bean

Bape (Grape)

Appy (Happy)

Mouse (Mickey Mouse - she used to say Mow)

Marney (Barney)

Papa (Grandma and Grandpa)

Shush
Inish (Finished)
All done

Buns

Boo Burry (Blueberry)

She hasn't had any new teeth come in for a while, but I'm sure her molars will be next. So far, she has her bottom and top central incisors and her bottom and top lateral incisors. 

Her obsession with Elmo seems to have taken a backseat to Oso lately, but she seems to go down the line when trying to get to watch TV. First she'll ask for Oso, then Barney, to Mouse, to Elmo. She also enjoys watching Little Einsteins and will randomly start patting her legs and then stick her hands in the air and try to say BLAST OFF! She loves when you do it with her :) 

She loves helping with laundry...

and has also taken a liking to shutting herself in the laundry room and then calling for Mama or Dada to come let her out. Bobby and I laugh every time!

I think she really enjoys her "toy room" and can often spend 10 to 15 minutes at a time playing by herself in there...

We celebrated Valentine's Day with an adorable outfit that her Nana bought for her...

and probably the biggest pancake she will ever encounter...

She loves to make silly faces. Her "happy" face...

Her "mad" face...

Her "surprised" face...

She loves reading books at random times through the day and before each nap and bedtime. She's still taking two naps that are typically only 30 to 45 minutes, but she sleeps all night still from 7pm to about 6 or 630am. The every night baths have subsided since she gets a bath with Maria every day in the afternoon and it does not seem to have effected her "routine" at all. 

She's still a decent eater, but LOVES to test us and throw her food on the floor. She loves avocado, oranges, raisins, crackers, blueberries by the pint, cheese, chicken nuggets, grapes, ketchup, and bananas. 

She's very good about asking for snacks and will bring us her bowl to fill up and then she'll run to the pantry and try to open it till we get there. And she's oh-so-clean when she eats too... :)

She's got quite the personality and Bobby and I constantly find ourselves in hysterics over something she has done or said. Like this...

I don't know what else to say, but Happy 16 Months Baby Girl! Your Daddy and I our so proud of the little lady you are turning into and love watching you grow (but wouldn't mind if you slowed down a bit!). You are a pure joy and our love for you grows more and more everyday <3
