As I sit and write this, I think of all of the months I wrote about how you smiled, rolled over, sat up, slept through the night, cooed, laughed/cried, ate real food, drank real milk...it's all so bittersweet to see how much you have grown! I am completely and utterly amazed at God's ability to create not only your beautiful outward appearance but your loving, adorable inward appearance that shines through more and more each day.
Here are some of your likes/dislikes at 18 months...
LIKES:
~ getting in your crib & sleeping in there with your ladybug pillow pet, blanket, tiny baby and lovey.
~ some mornings when you wake up early you love to come get in Mommy & Daddy's bed to go back to sleep for another few hours (or until Reese comes in to wake us all up)
~ BABIES!!!! you adore your baby dolls and even more so REAL babies! You squeal everytime you are around them, you get so excited! (maybe ONE day we can have another real baby for you to play with...for right now you and your brother are enough for this Mama)
~ to eat...chicken nuggets, apples, chips, bananas, french fries, grapes, toast, pb&j, crackers, chicken nuggets, pineapple bits, "squeezies" as I call them (aka...baby food in a squeeze pouch we keep refrigerated b/c that's how you like them), cheese puffs, scrambled eggs, chicken, rolls, ice cream, cake, cereal, pop tarts, did I mention chicken nuggets?, tater tots, grilled cheese, pear bits, applesauce, and I'm sure a few more things...that's just the majority of it.
~ to drink: apple juice, water, milk, oh and any coke or tea Mom & Dad are drinking
~ climb up on chairs, couches, and stairs
~ riding in the car & watching Max & Ruby or Magic School bus with your brother
~ going to Mimi & Dar's house & Pop's & Nana's house to visit
~ to go to the Zoo and point and scream/squeal at all the different animals when they are close to you
~ words you say: mumum, dada, ree (reese), hiiiiiiiii, meee (mimi), nana.
words you have said but don't repeat often: mine, no, da (dar), bebe (baby), ba (ball), pass (paci)
DISLIKES:
~ to eat: deli meat, spaghetti, ANY VEGETABLES (hence the nutrition in the veggie squeezies), noodles, mashed potatoes, pickles, ketchup/ranch, cheese (plain), most of what Mommy & Daddy eat.
~ playing too closely to Reese. ya'll always seem to get into a fuss with one another about something. well, really you have learned to just start squealing when he gets too close, I think this is so we will come running just to see what is going on. :)
~ sit still for very long...
~ being told no. hmmm, I think that's pretty normal
~ Daddy some of the time. When Daddy tells you no, your eyes start to well up and you cry like somebody told you were a horrible person. It's the sadest most pathetic thing ever....really hurts Mommy's heart. I guess since Daddy is not a woman & gets onto you that hurts your feelings more than you can handle.?
Addyson Ann, I am proud of all of your milestones & accomplishments you have made so far in life, I am proud to be called your Mama & most importantly I am proud of the sweet, innocent, sassy little girl that you are becoming. What a precious little gift from God you are to us all!
