Hello to all! Well, I'm 18 months old today and am so excited because I will get to share my half-birthday with Auntie Laura's new son, Lincoln...he was born really early this morning and is doing great. Otherwise, I'm doing very well these days...ever the daredevil, I continue to climb, run, swing and jump from virtually every surface. I'm increasingly more communicative, mimicking almost everything that is said to me and even weighing in on the more important issues, like letting the dogs know when it's time to be quiet ("hush" is what I say whenever they start to bark!). I've started putting more and more words together..."mommy, out" etc., which is very exciting. I am still enthralled with dogs (photo above with Scruffy, Aunt Susan's new dog) and enjoy my playtime with Gryffin and Bucky. Daddy thinks I'm going through a growth spurt at the moment as I have been eating non-stop for nearly two days!!! I still enjoy all fruits, the occasional vegetable (peas are a hit), pasta, pizza, cheese (which I generally demand whenever the refrigerator is opened) and chicken hot dogs. I even stopped drinking my milk from a bottle, and am very good using a regular cup without spilling, which is exciting for mom.
As you can see from the above photo, I've adopted a more toddler-like appearance, which makes Mommy a little sad, I think. I recently measured 34 inches in the doorway and am taller than nearly all of the children in my play group. I don't think the height factor is a surprise to anyone who know mom and dad yet it is frequently mentioned. In all, I'm a very happy girl who knows what she wants, knows how to laugh and have fun and loves her family and friends. Mommy and Daddy still cannot believe that 18 months have gone by so quickly...they seem to think I'll be 2 "before you know it!" Hope all are well. Love, Charlotte
