Happy 18 Months

My Dearest Babe,

You are officially 18 months and three days old. You are officially closer to a toddler than "my baby."...I think that I need a moment of silence. Your personality shows more and more with each day, you're completely breaking out of your "shy-shell" and starting to show off your adorable personality to everyone else. (Which is questionably naughty at times...) You still love the outdoors, music, coloring, painting and eating. Your vocabulary is beyond 75 words and at times you string together three at once. Your favorite phrases are, "Where's Riley" and "Ready set Go!" Your favorite words are, "Puppy"..."Dog"...and "Mama"....(Yes, you're still a mama's girl, and I am loving it!) You are crazy about keeping things clean and organized. (You take after your daddy) If Riley spills water on the floor- you grab the kitchen towel and wipe it up. If there are drawers or doors open, you shut them. You make sure that all of your markers and toys are put back after you play with them...it's very odd. Again, you take after your Daddy. Your first four molars have cut through and you handled it like a champ. You still sleep well- 12 hours each night, 2-3 hour naps. You're in 2T clothing and size 5-6 shoes. You are in size 4 diapers.

We are so proud of how far you have come and our love for you is bigger and stronger than ever. You brighten our days, every single day.

Keep smiling little Nana, we LOVE you.
