MiaJolie @ 18 Months!

Mia is doing fantastic at 18 months old! She still loves to run and play with her brothers- just like a big kid- only now she can actually keep up. She is a pro at walking and enjoys dancing and trying jump up and down. She also likes to swim (all by herself using her puddle jumper floaties) in Grandpa and Grandma's pool! She loves to 'sing' and can say a few words like "doggie, Lola, downstairs, love you, sorry, bapa (grandpa), (grandma still sounds like a different "ma"), papa, nana, dance, bye-bye, hi, night-night..." Now if only she'd remember to use her words...usually when she wants something she SCREAMS repeatedly until we guess what it is. I kind of prefer the 'grunting/pointing' that the boys did at that age...She has even tried her hand at a little potty training...though we're not taking that seriously for a while. She made the switch to a twin bed with guard rail this month too (I just found out her crib was recalled). She does great in the bed- as long as she is actually tired she just lays down and goes right to sleep- no fussing necessary!

Her favorite things:
PINK anything. If it's pink she will try to run off with it- no matter what it is.
Baby dolls
Dogs
Horses
Swimming
Music and dancing
Coloring!
Painting her toenails
Brushing her teeth 100x a day

Dislikes:
Being left out
Sitting still
Being quiet
Sharing
Getting her hair styled


And finally her 18 mos. stats:
Weight- 22lbs 3.5oz- 19%
Height- 33 & 3/4 Inches- 82%
Head- 18 1/2 inches- 63%
(Turns out they measured her head wrong before- so nothing to worry about!)
