i haven't posted too much about daphne lately and i NEED to! this is pretty much the only place i record anything- and there is so much a want to remember about this age. daphne is so awesome. sure, there are days i want to rip my hair out [and more days that she rips her hair out- that's a whole other issue] but for the most part, i love this age & am having so much fun with it.
i cannot grasp the idea that we have an 18 month old. soon she will be 2 and i might crawl up in a ball and die. i just can't believe we have a toddler- it doesn't make sense :)
at 18 months she is:
still short and getting skinny. i think she still weighs about 20 pounds but she's got her 18 month check up next week so i'll see for sure. those cheeks we all loved are all but gone- she's looking like a little girl now, not so much a baby.
talking a ton. [of course she has to take out her binky first, because she's getting even more addicted to it] she repeats stuff when we ask her to and has a few favorite words:
hi [she says it a billion times a day]
mom & dad & also NIC
binky
birdie
puppa (dog)
bike
shoe
she LOVES being outside- her favorite thing is bike rides. she cries every time we have to go in.
she is loving gymnastics though she doesn't really care to do what the coach or class is doing :)
she is SO strong willed and stubborn- she also has quite the little temper. this was magnified by our potty training disaster- i swear she hasn't been the same girl since. it's going to take A LOT of convincing to try to do that ever again. i won't say it ruined her, but she's not the same- and she's angrier- which i don't really love.
she is a scardy cat. afraid of the vacuum, guys outside mowing the lawn, loud trucks, blow dryer, DOGS, ect.
she still dances.
she is really adorable and we could not possibly love her any more. happy 1/2 birthday daph!
we got her this chair at a thrift store yesterday. i love it so so much & so does daph.

She is super cute and looks more like you every day. I love the tiny piggy tails. I remember doing that for Jos. You didn't ruin her with the potty training thing. SHe would have headed there anyway--it is the standard 2 year old "I'm angry because I know what I want and you won't let me do it". I know she's not actually 2 yet but she's advanced for her age (and height). Enjoy this sometimes rotten behavior now, because when she's 14.5 it will be much worse and a lot less cute. (Sigh)
she's so grown up! I can't wait to see you guys again, Christopher is excited to meet her. I can tell.
