Marin is just a few days away from turning 18 months old! She is so cute and changing so much all the time I want to make sure I document the things I love so much about her right now! Here are my 18 favorite things about my 18 month old girl (because I can't think of only 18 things):
18. She has the cutest little curls in the back of her hair.
17. She is a silly girl... she laughs very easily and makes me laugh at least 50 times a day :) Her laugh is one of the best sounds ever!
16. Every time we tell her "good job", she claps her hands and smiles.
15. She is great at giving high fives and always says "fye" when she does.
14. She says "aaaaah" whenever her or anyone else takes a drink of something. She also says "mmmmm" when she takes a bite of something new (even if her face indicates otherwise).
13. She is very energetic and playful. She loves to play with her toys and run around all day... I get tired just watching her!
12. She loves to play games... "Patty Cake", "Head Shoulders Knees and Toes", and "If You're Happy and You Know It" are her favorites. The best part is that she always tries to copy the actions :)
11. She LOVES to go "buh-bye" and will say the word over and over again while she goes to get her shoes and gets ready to go. She also waves and says "bye" whenever her or someone else is leaving.
10. She says "uh-oh" every time ANYTHING falls on the floor. She also says it every time she "accidently" drops her food on the floor.
9. She is a great litte dancer. Any time there is anything with a beat on, her little body is just dancing away :)
8. She says "tank-oo" (thank you) every time she hands me something because I say "thank you" to her.
7. She says "beebee" (baby) every time she sees anyone under the age of 10. She doesn't seem to realize they are a lot bigger than she is :)
6. She is still a great sleeper! She goes to bed around 7:30pm and wakes up between 7 and 8am; she also takes a 2 hour nap every day.
5. Any time she sees a cell phone (or anything that could remotely resemble a phone) she holds it up to her ear and says "hu-wo".
4. She knows a lot of her body parts! She is able to point to her cheeks, mouth, and nose when we ask her where they are (she doesn't say those words yet). She says "eye", "eeah" (ear), and "bahyee" (belly button) when she points to those areas.
3. She loves animals and knows a ton of animal sounds. She says "mooooooo" when she sees a cow (or any other animal she doesn't know the sound for), "cack-cack (quack quack) when she sees a duck (or any other bird), "oof-oof" when she sees a dog, and "now" (meow) when she sees a cat. She is working on other animal sounds but doesn't quite have them down yet :)
2. She loves to play peek-a-boo! She "hides" (behind a wall, her hand, her blanket, or just closes her eyes) and then says "boo-boo" :)
1. My favorite thing about my 18 month old is her hugs and kisses! She is such a sweetie and will drop everything to give a hug or kiss to you if you ask for one :) She also gives lots of hugs and kisses to her baby doll and stuffed animals.
