Happy 16 month birthday Bella!!

My baby turns 16 months old today. She amazes me every day!!

Here is a rundown of her accomplishments.....

She weighs 23.8 lbs. (and mommy feels every ounce when carrying her!!)

She is 31 inches in length.

She has 4 teeth (two top, two bottom) with 2 more top ones getting ready to poke through anytime.

She is wearing 18 month clothing.

She can say dad, ba (for bottle, drink, or momma's diet pepsi which she doesn't get!), dog, apple, thank you, and ma (when she is really, really, really wants something!).

She can do animal sounds for sheep (ba) and cow (moo) and will do the baby sign for dog.

She can do baby sign language for more, eat, up, down, help, dog, muffs (when dad is doing construction!) and all done.

She can walk forwards, walk backwards, side step, go up and down stairs with help, shake her groove thang, and twirl round and round in a circle.

She loves to sing snuggle puppy and loves me to sing her songs I made up about her. Her little head bee bops to the tunes.

She loves to go to daycare (or school as I call it) . Every morning she is very excited to go see her friends and teachers. She has learned so much there and when I drop her off now she isn't held by a teacher but sits in a chair like a big girl and watches the movie that is playing.


She loves to read books, snuggle with her blanket, and bite toes in socks (watch out for this one!! She is fast and shifty!) When asked if she is tired and wants to go to bed she will tell us yes or no.
Her favorite tv channel would have the be Channel 426 which is the 80's listening music station.

My baby is growing up....she is a big girl now.

She eats at the table in a booster, can feed her self for the most part, sleeps in her own bed at night time and for naps, she can help dress and undress herself. She even helps us put lotion on her belly and legs. She has bad eczema after all!

She can drink from a sippy cup like a pro, is learning how to drink out of a grown up cup, only takes bottles at bedtime, and eats mainly with her right hand.

Now, since you know everything there is to know about my little cutie .... here are some pictures from last night....
