18 Month Stats




Weight: We will find out next week when Ryan and her sibling go to doctor
Length: We will find out next week when Ryan and her sibling go to doctor
Eating: Ryan eats most everything. She loves milkshakes. Her behavior at restaurants is unpredictable and often terrible! She likes to eat in her little chair in front of the t.v. watching Barney or Mickey Mouse.
Sleeping: surprisingly no changes here. Sleeps 13 straight hours at night and still takes two good naps a day. Every now and then we skip the afternoon nap and she does okay. Before she starts her mothers day out program I plan to bump her morning nap back and get her down to one a day. Until then I am gonna let the girl sleep as much as she wants!
Size: 18 month and 18-24 month clothing, size 4 diapers. A lot of the 18 month pants are too big for her tiny little waist, but she needs them for the length. We usually have a lot of diaper hanging out the top!
Newest Accomplishments: talks non stop, repeats everything (over and over and over again!),feeds,rocks, bathes baby doll, puts everything to "nite nite",vocab over 100+ words, can almost sing all of the ABC's, counts to ten on her own, twelve teeth: 4 in front on top and bottom and a molar on each side top and bottom
Loves: to "rockee" and be "rockeed", "covers", coloring in color books with crayons "colors", "snuggles", gummy vitamins, princess vanity, ring around the "rosie", dog book, library story time, toddler bed at Mamaw and Grandpas house, baths with Ariel and baby, milkshakes, singing and dancing, Old MacDonald, Twinkle Twinkle

Her verbal skills are pretty amazing for 18 months. I know I am her mother and think that everything she does is amazing, but I have been told by many other people, often strangers, how advanced she is verbally. I love to listen to her talk and read to her stuffed animals. She picks up on so much so quickly. It is sometimes kinda scary how observant she is! We need to watch what we say! She can say all of her friends names (to name a few: Ashlyn, Brynn, Beckett, Britton, Mia, Avery, Cole, Chase). She can identify and knows the sounds for: cow, horse, dog, cat, donkey, sheep, fish, duck, goose, chicken, bunny, zebra, elephant, alligator, pig, bear, penguin, owl, tiger, lion, snake.
A few things she says that sound alike are" "covers" and "colors", "bunny" and "Barney", "Murphy" and "movie".
She is just too darn cute!
