16 months!

Lucy is 16 months old...just can't believe it! I only thought she was busy four months ago...I now know the true definition of a busy toddler. The girl is busy and has an opinion, but is oh so fun! A few things I want to remember about Lucy right now...

She doesn't stop moving unless she is sleeping...you will not find this girl sitting, playing with toys...rather you will find her running from room to room, getting into anything that is not a toddler toy...

She attempts to repeat every word she hears. A few words that are clear now are: momma, dada, ball, elmo, aqua, mas, snack, bite, night night, Lady, dog, cat, Ollie, book, thank you, bye bye, hi, Max, milk, walk, diaper, poo-poo, duck, nana (banana).

She has a sweet tooth, just like her daddy! She of course loves sweet treats, but will eat any kind of fruit. And follows every bite with "Mmmmm!"

She is a complete ham...she will do anything to make everyone laugh! I am trying to catch her best ham antic on video, because words do not do it justice...once I do, it will be posted.

Still sleeps like a champ...some mornings I have to wake her up! Lucy, please rub off on your little sister.

She loves animals...especially dogs. So thankful for sweet Lady, who allows Lucy to do anything to her...climb, pull, tug, push, play in her food, take her toys...

She loves to play outside.

She loves to read books before bed time and always wants to sleep with one or two books in her crib.

Still doesn't like to cuddle. Baby #2, please cuddle with momma.

She loves Elmo, but will not sit still to watch it at home. The only time she watches Elmo is while strapped into her car seat. 

Speaking of Elmo on the car DVD player, Lucy now insists on watching it EVERY time we are in the car. She also thinks any car without a DVD player is defective...I know I created a monster when it comes to the DVD player, but at the time I just wanted to survive those long and numerous drives back and forth to Austin. Oops... 

At her 15 month appointment she weighed 22 lbs 6 oz. (40th percentile), 32" tall (80th percentile) and of course her head was in the 100th percentile.

I mentioned she loves sweet treats...especially a sprinkle donut from her dada on Saturday mornings...

First zoo trip...she liked watching Jay feed the giraffes, but wasn't about to put her hands out there for those long tongues!
