18 months!

My little peanut is a year and a half now! And she is becoming more and more of a little girl and less and less like a baby. It is amazing to see her grow and change! I was just looking at a picture from the day we came home from the hospital and she looks so different now! I'm not sure where all the dark hair went!

We will go to the doctor in a few weeks to get measured/weighed so I'll post those details later. I measure her much different than the doctor, so the comparisons don't really work. I don't get it- you'd think she'd be the same height no matter what, but I must do it differently (if that's possible!)

Here's the update on life as a 1 1/2 year old Annaliese:

Sleeping: We are still working on the transition to one nap/day. Some days it works. Today it has not. She makes it pretty obvious...this morning she walked around the house sucking her thumb and carrying her blanket everywhere until I put her down at 8:50. It's now 11:50 and she's still sleeping. To be fair, she seems to be teething and that always messes up our schedule. We'll see what the afternoon brings!
              She still goes to bed at 7 every night and usually makes it until 6:30. Normally, she is pretty content to stay in her crib until at least 7 am so I have a little bit of time to myself before she gets up.

Clothes: She is starting to outgrow some of her 12 month stuff...but it definitely depends on the brand. I just pulled tags off of an adorable little outfit that Annaliese got for her birthday and, although it's a 12 mon outfit, it's still a little bit big! Most of the 12 month jammies are getting too small, but only because her feet are getting too big for the footie part. We have moved into size 5 shoes just this week!

Activities: Annaliese loves to be moving! Most of the pictures I take these days are blurry:) She loves putting things away, building with blocks, being outside, walking, throwing a ball, and playing the piano. She recently discovered Brodie's water spicket outside, so we spend alot of time outside getting wet!

I wrote the above earlier this morning; as I went to insert some pictures, I realized that after we came home from our camping trip a few weeks ago, the camera got nicely put away. And that means I had no recent pictures to insert. So I spent the rest of the day taking a few pictures of our daily activities:)

After she woke up from her nap, I decided we should have a picnic lunch outside. It seemed like an appropriate thing to do on Memorial Day:)

 This is Brodie's water spicket...

Her clothes tend to get quite wet while playing at the spicket, so we spend a fair amount of our day just in a diaper!
