Sweet 16 Months

I have officially dropped my 2nd nap and have fully embraced the lifestyle and schedule of a toddler.  Mama and I do some toddler-based activity outside of the house in the morning, return home for lunch and nap, then either play around the neighborhood or run a mommy-based errand in the afternoon.  It's awesome!

I just LOVE the wheels on the bus and clapping my hands when I'm happy and I know it.  I learned both at the library where I go to a couple of classes a week.

Super Why is my absolute favorite thing to watch on TV.  I practically hyperventilate while trying to wave at the characters to get their attention.

I'm really ready to start talking.  I don't always get it right, but I sure love to try to say something when mama or daddy ask me to repeat a word.  B's and P's are my favorite right now so I'm most eager to say bye-bye and to try to say ball, blue, purple, and hippo.  I've called the hippo "bo, po, and papi" trying to get it right.  I'll get there!  I also said "ruh" for red yesterday... my first R word.

I'm a huge cuddler.  I love to lay my head on my mama while I eat cheerios and watch morning cartoons or on daddy's lap while we watch Wheel of Fortune and I try to stall heading to bed.  When I'm playing independently I have to stop and run give them a kiss every now and then.

Here's me looking like a real toddler in my fall gear one chilly morning and sporting my very first pony tail, today, because I'm sweet 16 and that's what you've gotta do!
