AUSTIN, YOU ARE EIGHTEEN MONTHS OLD!!

- you are in a size 3 diaper.
- you wear mostly 18 mo. clothes, depending on the brand.
- you wear a size 4 shoe.
- you are 100% self-feeding now. it's nice, but is also a little sad for us!
- you love to be outside!!
- your vocabulary includes: bye bye, dada, mama, juice (not clearly), uh oh, i love you mama (not clearly), hey, and baby.
- you are starting to really hate riding in the car! you still have to wait a while before we can let you face forward in your seat. :(
- your favorite toy right now is your shopping cart, and random things like empty bowls.
- you love to wear bracelets! if i wear bangles, you have to wear a couple of them. they always get lost, but oh well. :) you also put your stacking rings on your wrists at home like you are wearing bracelets. maybe you'll be a girly girl after all. :)
- your favorite food of all right now is probably cheerios. you like all kinds. lately, i have bought the whole grain, fruity, and yogurt kinds, and you love them all.
- you much prefer juice to milk.
- you run around outside, but if you stumble and fall, you whine for me to clean off your hands.
- you l.o.v.e. the cheese dip at the mexican restaurant! like eat-it-with-a-spoon love.
- you love church! you run to the door when we get out of the car, and you walk around like you own the place.
- your favorite show is still blues clues.
- your favorite disney movie so far seems to be alice in wonderland. we have watched it several times lately.
- you are still taking 2 naps a day, most days. you usually go to bed around 8pm and sleep until 7:30-8am.
- you are such a sweet girl most of the time. people comment to me all of the time on how sweet you are to other kids/babies.
- you apparently love spaghetti! i gave you a bowl with cut up meatball and noodles, and a little sauce, and you ate 2 whole bowls!
- you are still tossing and turning all over your crib during the night, but i started putting you to bed laying your head on a small pillow.
- you sleep with your blanket and your teddy bear every night. occasionally, you want to bring minnie mouse or hello kitty with you, too.
- you already have a love for shoes. you like to wear your little slippers around the house, and you love to try to put shoes on yourself during the day if i forget and leave your closet door open. we also keep rainboots or crocs at the back door, and you like to carry those around with you until i help you put them on.
