oh my dearest little greer,
18 months. and might i say, you are a funnnnnny funny little gal! these last six months have been quite different than the first year of your life ;) somehow there was a switch that flipped and you're practically perfect record has turned upside down. don't get me wrong, we love you all the same. but your big personality has been a surprise for us.
what you have been up to :
- you started walking at around 15/16 months. you took your first step around 14 months but decided on taking your time at the walking thing. but i am absolutely in love with your little waddle!
- being a daddy's girl. you were all about momma... but have discovered a new love ;) i'm a little jealous, but he's a good one to lose to.
- being obsessed with your sissy! when you aren't following momma around, you sure love being your sissies shadow.
- teething. yikes! when you turned one, your 5th tooth was coming in. and now you have 14! that was a rough couple of months for sure.
- as of about 2 months ago, you are down to one nap now. but you sure do love your sleep still. you've always been so easy to put down. whether it be for naps, or down for the night, you never put up a fuss and it makes life so much easier!
- learning new words: momma, dadda, "EASE" (please), hi.
- we also found out a couple months ago that you are going to be a big sister in november! ahhhhh. crazy! but so exciting. it's going to be a fun adjustment for all of us.
- you give the best squeezes & kisses. and usually when momma needs them the most, i love it!
- we moved into our new house a few weeks ago and you have taken all the change like a champ!
- last week was your first week and nursery, and much to our surprise, you were AWESOME. didn't shed a tear. i hope you keep that up.
your favorite things:
-THE TOILET. ahhhhh! it's so gross and so weird. and sometimes your big sis forgets to flush, but you don't mind. i've found you sucking on soaked-with-pee toilet paper. (gag me!) but no matter what, you love to play in the toilet. you'd think that momma would have learned to buy those toilet locks.... but i didn't. you just love to play in there. (and often i find treasures that you've thrown in there too. like, my car keys ;)
- to eat anything and everything off the floor. a couple weeks ago at church we were out in the hall and daddy picked you up and your breath smelled all minty, and somewhere you found some ABC gum that must have had your name on it. and sometimes you don't pick up stuff off the floor, you'll just bend down and grab it with your mouth.
- the garbage. oh man, do you love the garbage. i mean, it makes me feel like i don't feed you! you're always digging through garbages to find a little snack. or just to dump the whole thing over. we were at the hospital the other day (nothing serious) and we were confined to a tiny room, waiting for a phone call from a doctor and i was on the phone for not even 15 seconds and somehow you managed to find the garbage can, dump it over, and take a few swigs of a half-drunk coke you found in there. yuck.
- to take the end of a toilet paper roll and drag it through the house or tear it to shreds.
- to be told no. cause you get the naughty little smirk on your face and do it anyways.
that's just to name a few! ha ha. you're just such a busy little bee. and kind of a naughty one too ;) it's just a little new for me ;) HOWEVER, as hard as the last six months have been... you have also made us laugh SO hard. your personality is so big, and you make us laugh at the funny little things you come up with and do. we just couldn't imagine life without our greer girl. we love you so much greer-bee-doo. your little personality might be a bit of a challenge right now, but we are crazy about you! you are such an important part of our family, and we love you more than words can say.
love you sweet girl,
momma
