17 & 18 month update

We left for Jamaica the day after Baby Girl turned 18 months and I never got a post written about her seventeenth month.  And now we are half-way to her turning 19 months, so I decided to just post a few facts on what she is like right now.  Perhaps the new year will calm down a bit and I can get back to documenting her development better.

At her 18 month well-visit:
Weight: 27 lbs (75th percentile)
Height: 34 inches (still off the chart)

Fun Facts:
-her favorite toys right now are her baby doll, balls, and building with blocks
-her favorite books are Goodnight Sweet Pig and any lift the flap book
-we have been told "she eats like a man" and "is a bottomless pit" in regards to her eating ;)
-she is big into imitation for anything I am doing
-is starting to become very independent and wanting to do things herself or "her way"
-has suddenly become interested in Baby Einstein movies again, as long as they have animals in them.  She sits there the entire movie saying the sound for each animal that comes onto the screen!
-favorite foods are blueberries, grapes, bread, cheese, crackers, and pasta dishes
-jumps her way through a lot of the day (whether just on the ground or on our bed)
-has started to run most all places she goes
-still likes Baby Elmo
-showing early signs of potty training by holding her diaper and fussing when she goes to the bathroom
-has gotten two more bottom teeth (a total of 4 now!) and the doctor said her top molars are coming through, but she won't let me see - that makes her teeth total 8
-sleeps 11-12 hours at night with one nap during the day that lasts anywhere from 1.5-3 hours.

Enjoy two videos taken one of the few days between Jamaica and Christmas.
