18 Months Old

This walking-talking-crazy-munchkin-baby is already 18 months old! This means:

- Nursery at Church! Happy day. Mom and dad get to go to all of our church meeting, and actually listen and learn! She is absolutely loving nursery. She's only been a few times. But she loves singing time, and of course snack time, and she just loves playing with the other kids. There's only 4 little kids in nursery in our current ward, so she loves the attention. 

- Kids Club at the Gym - she can play with all the big kids instead of the babies! She gets to watch the movies, play with the balls, and blocks, and run around all she wants. She loves going to the gym now. 

- Vaccinations - but the last shots until she goes to Kindergarten! She was so good too! Cried for just a few seconds then was ready to play again. 

- Talking: I don't even know where to begin with the list of words she can say...but I'll try for memories sake: mama, dada, grammy (me-me), grandpa (bom-pa), bubbles, ball, ya, BYU, cougars, berries, ice, cheese, juice, ba-ba, truck, duck, poops, uh-oh, applesauce, fish, stars, come, Lucy, Addie, wash, bib, eat, hair, bow, bath, hot, eyes, shoes, socks, bear, Elmo, please, bumps, "I can see you!", princess, outside, inside, upstairs, button, push, up, down, no, Sarge, bus, baby, apple, purse, Jesus.....(I'm sure there are more, but this is already a great list!) Livy is in a big "copy-cat" mode as well, and will often repeat the most random things we will say. 

Her 18 months stats were:

Height: 70th Percentile - 32.5 inches

Weight: 90th Percentile - 26.7 pounds

We have absolutely loved this age. She is learning so much every single day. She can follow commands very well. Ryan just taught her to put her dirty clothes in her clothes bin - it's the cutest thing ever. 

She loves to dance, especially in the car when we're jammin'. She also likes to watch the Zumba class at the gym and listen and dance to the music. 

She can sing "Twinkle, twinkle little star"...but it sounds like" uh uh ars.....uh uh ars....", but she's got the tune down! She can also sing "Elmo's song", "la la la, la la la laaaa".

She's still sleeping 12 hours at night, and takes a 2-3 hour nap every afternoon. She still has her binky, still has a warm bottle at night, and loves her blankies. 

Livy is such a smarty pants. It just kills me how smart she is. Her little mind is always working. She's always trying to figure things out. She loves music. Loves to play outside. Loves being tickled. We love you little Liv!
