18 Months

 18 Months with our cute baby! Baylor is not so much a baby anymore and turning into the most adorable, curious toddler. She is growing up way too fast but I love this stage with Baylor. She is very busy and can be exhausting but she is so fun. She copies everything especially if Paige is doing it. She is very quick to smile and laugh. She is so observant of the world around her and whenever she hears a different noise she stops and tries to see what it is. She absolutely loves any animal. We see birds and squirrels quite often at the house that she gets to enjoy every day. She loves dogs and gets so excited when she sees one. She really and truly loves all animals and gets so excited and points to them. She has the most ticklish armpits and is quite ticklish and loves to be tickled and teased as she rolls on the ground laughing. She is a big daddy's girl and also loves Pops. She has both of them trained to pick her up and they both take her outside often and she loves them for it. If Nate and I are both around she always prefers to go to Nate unless she is hungry or tired then she is all about mom. She prefers drinking water over anything else. She doesn't really like juice unless Nate or I are drinking it then she will have a few sips. She loves water bottles and is really good about drinking throughout the entire day. She is not really a picky eater but has days where she liked something and then the next she decides not to like it. Typical toddler! Her favorite foods right now are cheese, pasta, avocado, eggs, bread, and anything sweet especially ice cream. She loves to climb stairs, stand on anything she is not supposed to, be outside, push around the toy shopping cart or stroller, ride bikes, her blanket, play in water, and not hold still. She has quite the little personality and is a constant tease. She loves to be chased and play hide and seek though she is usually always the seeker and has the cutest little voice. She say many words but she has sounds and jabbers that sound like Paige, Where are you?, Nona (she calls Nona and Pops the same thing), and she can say mama and dada but doesn't very often. She says puppy and baby pretty well. She is really good at saying hi and waves to lots of people, cars, and buses. She makes some animal noises- her best one is the chicken sound. She knows where her nose, belly button, teeth, and toes are. We are constantly working on getting her to point to her ears and eyes but she always points to her nose. She is so much fun to have in our family and brings us all so much joy.

 She loved holding the hose!

 We were all laughing so hard and there were lots of squeals from Paige as Baylor was spraying everyone and everywhere with the hose. 

Her first ice cream cone on her own was a success though a messy success.

Spaghetti and bread night=one of Baylor's favorite dinners.

 I love seeing Paige be a sister and she is one amazing big sister. She is so helpful and loves Baylor so much. Baylor lights up the most and laughs the most with Paige. She is constantly mimicking what Paige does and wants to be doing whatever Paige is doing.
