My big (little) girl is 16 months today. I don't know how I lived my life without her. I'm so blessed to be able to stay at home and be with her. She's the best thing to wake up to in the morning...unless she's really fussy and didn't get good sleep, then she kicks you awake at about 6am, which isn't so good. But I'm talking about the mornings when she actually sleeps in her crib and lets us sleep in until about 7:45 and she just patiently waits for us in her crib. Those mornings are the best!
Here's 16 things about my Sweet Baby at sixteen months:
1. She teeter-totters her feet really fast when you tell her, "Happy Feet!"
2. She's still on the bottle, because she fights me, literally fights me if I don't give it to her. She pinches and bites and screams and yells. Then if I get mad she gives me the silent crybaby sad, upside down U lips, and I just throw in the white flag and give it to her. She's only a baby once.
3. She absolutely can't sleep without a standard size down pillow.
4. She thinks that Barney is a dog.
5. She likes my louis vuitton purse more than the toys that light up and make loud noises. She plays and puts it over her shoulder and gets her fake cell phone and babytalks, "blah blahblah blah shhheee, lalalalala..." I really don't know where she gets that from.
6. This girl chills like she's in the bario. When she wants to take a little break and just chill, she squats...you know this girl is filippino fo sho! You can carry serious conversations with her like that too. She'll respond with some baby talk equivilent to "what's up" and nods her head or raises her brow!
7. Her favorite places to sit are the bottom steps of the stairs. The one going to the 2nd floor and the other going into the office. This is a new thing. She just started doing this, and I love it! She's so comfortable there that she let's me take pictures of her keeping still! But don't get it twisted...this seat is HERS. She claimed it, put savesies and definitely marked her territory.
8. She has callous on the bottom of her feet from running around barefoot in our house. She just got used to wearing socks and shoes recently, only because it's been below 70 degrees...
9. Doesn't let you get away with putting on chapstick without giving her some.
10. She puckers her lips before she kisses.
11. Pats my back (and Paul's) when she gives us hugs.
12. Perfers to be called, "Baby" rather than, "'Lexa"
13. Has to eat with a metal spoon. NOT a baby spoon!
14. Still can't fit her size 4 Orange Crocs!
15. Has 7 full teeth, 4 up top and 3 on the bottom and 3 more coming in.
16. Pulls the kitchen towels off the oven handle to see her reflection in the mirror. Then dances or fixes her hair, or claps, or like I said earlier...just chills and squats.OH...and BTW...Thanksgiving was great!
Food was to die for, of course, thanks to my mom
and auntie Mher.
We just chilled with family,
my bro, and cousins, Jes, Carla, Cal, Dan. The twins were there too and we didn't get to take a pic with Tone. We missed Celisse! She wasn't able to make it.
...played a little Taboo and drank. Nice chill night. Can't wait to see them all again for Christmas.
