My little girl is growing up so fast.

She is 18 months old today.

• She is mimicing and parroting everything the big kids and adults do/say.
• She has her eyes glued to any TV that is on and even requests TV shows.
• She knows/remembers people who she sees less frequently and recognizes people from photos.
• She is starting to make 2-word sentences
• She says Thank You without prompting about 50% of the time.
• Climbs on everything, but has a hard time getting down.
• LOVES to color and will ask to color if she sees any sort of writing implement
• Identifies objects out of books - cat, dog, monkey, keys, baby, frog, duck
• Can make dog and cat sounds
• Can use a fork and spoon, but much prefers her fingers
• LOVES to give kisses and hugs
• Recognizes herself in photos and mirrors "Dat Audrey"
• Misses her brother and sister when they are at their mom's
• Knows her eyes, nose, mouth, teeth, ears, hair, head, hands, fingers, knees, feet, toes, legs
• Likes to have other people smell her feet, and then giggles when we make a stinky face
• Requests to wear shoes
• Likes to play with the doggie
• Loves her little slide that is out on the deck and will play with that for long periods of time
• Can drink out of a cup
• Says, "wuv you."

In just 16 days, she is going to be a big sister.  Yikes!!!
