I cannot believe that Matney is 18 months old. Sniff, sniff! She's not a baby anymore. We're not taking her to the dr until the end of the month so that she and HK can go at the same time (HK will need her 4 month appt) so I don't have all her stats yet. Pretty sure our big girl is about 28lbs though. She loves her food! Here are some other things she's been up to.
It took 17 months to get Miss M to be a good sleeper but she's finally a champ about bedtime. She goes down about 8pm and gets up between 7-8am. Wonderful! She naps for about 2 hours during the day. Well, some days she doesn't sleep but she'll stay in her bed and play quietly which works for me.
Matney loves fruit and cheese. She'd eat those two things all day if we'd let her. Dog, or Pup Pup as she calls him, must go everywhere. The paci she'll go without but don't think about leaving her puppy dog behind. Animals and Sesame Street characters are her favorites. She is starting to "play pretend" and all her animals join her for tea parties every day.
Her vocabulary is growing by leaps and bounds. This weekend she said at least 20 new words. She can identify the numbers 1-4 and the capitol letters A,B,C,D,E,G,H,K,M,P,S,T. Such a smart girl! And she is becomming much more independent. She wants to pick out her clothes, feed herself, and put her toys just where she wants them (which means they often end up in the pantry or ball pit!).
It can take her a while to warm up to new people but once she's comfortable with you she'll give you hugs and kisses. She loves her sister and is always trying to kiss her head. Matney is just the sweetest girl. Jared and I could never begin to explain how much we love her. What a privilege it is to be her Mom!
