John and Sarah: Deja 18 Months Old!!!

Where has the time gone? It feels like just yesterday when we celebrated her birthday! Here are some new things about our little girl :)

She weighs 24 lbs and is 32" tall!
Some of her new words include: Up, Hug, Bed, Ash, Apple, Go, Bubble, Pop, Me, Thank You, and More (which confusingly sound like "no"), etc. She will also imitate most words and phrases.
She points to everything she wants which is pretty helpful.
She wants to be outside at all times no matter the weather and LOVES the park!
She is a handful at church. She just wants to get down and run around all the time. Hopefully she'll love nursery!
She loves talking on the phone especially when dad calls :)
She is getting better at being Mom's little helper. She will put things in the garbage when prompted and will also put her bibs in the correct kitchen drawer. She also loves helping with Laundry and is fascinated by the Washer and Dryer. And she loves to "help" sweep!
She still loves books and having me read to her. Her favorite stories are ones with pictures of real kids.
She went through a stage where she wanted a saltine cracker in her hand at all times during the day. As soon as she was done with one, she would request another. Luckily it didn't last too long.
She can point to her nose, eye, mouth, teeth, ear, hair, belly, face/cheeks, toes, and fingers/hands.
She's our little monkey girl and climbs on chairs, tables, on top of couches, etc.
She likes playing "kitchen" and I caught her filling the salad bowls up the other night.

Her favorite foods are still cheese, noodles, and avocado! She's still getting used to using utensils and usually prefers eating with her hands.
She LOVES baby Leo (her cousin that I nanny). She's always trying to cuddle with him, lay next to him, lay on blankets on the floor like he does, feed him, etc. I try to encourage her to do these things with her baby doll which sometimes works. She's so cute with both babies :)
She loves bags and purses! She'll carry one over to the door and say "go!?"
She has a weird obsession with stuffing things down her shirt, which John cleared up that it's because she thinks its a pocket!!! Hahaha I could not figure it out for the longest time.
I started putting aquifer on her face pretty regularly at night with the air being so dry and she has started requesting it throughout the day. For whatever reason she thinks it's great.
