16 months

My sweet lil Adah Potatah! My how you have grown and learned so much lately! This past Saturday you turned 16mths...you are almost a year and a half! I can't even believe it! This means pretty soon you will have a baby sister!

You make us laugh so much! You bring so much joy to our lives and we couldn't imagine a second without you in it! You are becoming such a sweet and considerate little lady!

Here are 16 new things you have been doing this month:

1. you say ma-ma
2. you will answer us yes or no when we offer you things or ask you questions
3. you use a fork(the right way)
4. you talk non stop! YOu tell us stories all the time as if we know what you are saying!
5. you are cutting 2 more teeth which gives you a total 14! That means only 4 to go!
6. you aren't too sure about strangers anymore...you really study people and won't go to just anyone
7. you tell me when you have a dirty diaper by walking over and saying bo-bo
8. you LOVE your baby doll....you "shhh" her and put her to bed, feed her, hug and kiss her, etc.
9. you still don't like TV but LOVE your MBCR videos!
10. we made the mistake of getting you addicted to the DVD player in the car
11. you can now roar like a tiger
12. you like to play with your belly in the mirror(sucking it in and pushing it out)
13. you have had more falls/accidents this month than your entire little life combined
14. you love to test us....always trying to get away with more or run away as far as you can before we catch you
15. when we ask you to smile real big you open your mouth as wide as you can
16. you have your first best friends.....the McClure girls that live across the street! You absolutely LOVE them and they love you! You wait at the front door every morning for them to come outside and then you scream with excitement! You love to play with them and give them hugs and kisses! You laugh with them SOOOO much!

I'm sure you are doing so much more but mommy and daddy can't seem to think of them right now! We just love to talk about you each night after you have gone to bed! We just smile and laugh the entire time we are talking! You are everything to us and we love you more than words can say!
