18 Months

Hadley Joy, you are 18 Months old!  You are such a big girl too...and let me tell you why!



At your last appointment, your stats were:

Weight:  23 pounds 8 oz.  38%

Height:  32 inches  58%

Head:  46 1/2 cm  48%



You can still fit into some 12-18 month clothes, but some of the sleeves are a little short on you.  We are moving right on into 18-24 month clothes!  You are growing so fast!  Plus, I just bought you these adorable coral skinny jeans and I can't wait for you to wear them!   

This little photo shoot was not one of our bests.  Mommy was getting frustrated with her camera, and you were getting crazy with the balloons, so we both had a little bit of a meltdown. 

You are getting crazy with your vocabulary.  You are actually saying small sentences, and you do it on your own!  Some of the fun things you are saying now:

Lufv u momma (Love You Momma...but I love how you put an "f" in there :)
Punzel (Rapunzel)
Rella/Ci-Lowa (Cinderella)
No, um um, No (You get that from Mommy :)
Yummy Tummy
HEY MINNIE
MICKEY MOUSE!  (I can not wait to take her to Disney World...Ross?!?)

You are the politest little girl I know.  It never fails, every time I hand you something, you say "Thank you."  When we picked you up from the babysitters last Friday night, she went on and on about how polite you were, always saying "thank you."...You make Mommy so proud. 

Every time we sit down at the dinner table to eat, you always say "hand" and reach for our hands so we can pray before we eat.  It is absolutely precious.  Before breakfast the other day, I asked you to say "Thank you Jesus" for our prayer....You tried....You said, "Thank you Juicy."...Not quite there but pretty close.  :)

You have been sick with two ear infections since the beginning of the year.  I feel so bad for you, but you really are a trooper! 

You love watching Mickey Mouse Club House...every time it comes on you scream, "Miiickkkkkey Mouse!"  You other favorite show is Bubble Guppies.  You have now combined them and call them, "Minnie Guppies." 

You are fascinated with Mommy and Daddy's iphone.  Every time you see it you say "phone, phone, phone"...followed by "elmo song?"  At first it was ok to let you hold my phone because you couldn't do anything to it.  THEN you figured out if you press the round button, your picture will pop up.  THEN you figured out (without us teaching you, I might add) how to drag the arrow with your cutie patootie finger across the screen and unlock it...From there the possibilities are endless!  You have changed ring tones, changed languages, sent daddy a text, deleted apps...I could go on and on.  Nevertheless, we monitor you more closely with our phones, and you are restricted to "elmo song."



You are such a peach!  We could never have dreamed of a more perfect fit into our family!  You are loved!  

Love, Mommy and Daddy
