Lou hit 16 months in February. Her hair is growing so fast and she finally has enough for a decent pigtail up on top.
This little one thinks that she is just as big as the other kids. She insisted on sitting on this bar stool while the other kids bowled. She is still wearing size 18-24 month clothes, size 4 diapers and is just about grown out of size 4 shoes.
She often says "cheese" when I pull out my camera phone. She worked hard on some teeth this month. Her top two popped through and two more top teeth are so close to poking through.
She continues to love fruit (oranges, bananas, blueberries, apples, etc.). She also loves cheese and my sourdough cinnamon swirl bread.
She is a climber and often finds "reasons" to climb up on the kitchen table.
She also knows what to do with pens, crayons, markers, etc.
She has figured out how to drink out of a straw and LOVES my water bottle.
She hates to just be put in her bed and prefers to fall asleep in our arms.
She was delighted when Nona saved her from the dreaded high chair when we went out to eat.
Here she is using a cup as a "chair."
She loves to play peek-a-boo.
She also loves to climb up into our rocking chair.
She is a HUGE fan of the water table at school. The school has some "nicknames" posted for the kids. Lou is "The escape artist" and the "Shoe stealer." Lou can often be found carrying around shoes that have been left on the ground. She also says "sh" for shoes.
