16 months old and so much fun!

Dear Little Princess,

I should have been writing you little notes a while ago...I thought about doing it and then life got in the way. Better late then never!

Today you are 16 months old!! Time has really flown and you are becoming such a little girl! Your current stats are: 20lbs (with a diaper on so you're probably really almost 20lbs), you are 31 inches tall and have 10 teeth! You wear a size 2 diaper (you'll probably be in a size 3 within a month) and your shoe size is almost a 3. Cheeses of all types are your thing right now, but you have become a bit of a picky eater- the only veggies you really want are still in the form of baby food- hey, whatever works! Your bedtime is 8:00 and you sleep with a bunch of stuffed animals, but your favorite is still your doll Nancy. Bath time is your favorite and when we ask you if want to take a bath, you start taking your clothes off (we'll break the that habit by the time you are in school :) ) You can take your diaper off yourself and often do so. You still look like your dad's twin, but sometimes people say you look like me and I get so excited!! We hug you, kiss you and tell you "we love you" about a million times a day!

You have the best sense of humor and have a laugh that is contagious! Olive is still your best friend and now you've figured out that she loves treats and playing ball, which is great because you know how to give them to her and throw the ball to her! We are in two Mommy and Me classes and you've made lots of friends and learned how to be the best sharer! At home you love to snuggle with me and walk around the house holding my hand, but in public you want nothing to do with me! You are so interested in everything and have amazing eye/hand coordination. Electronics are something you can't get enough of whether it be the tv remote control, computer, cell phone, I Pod- anything! When you see the picture of yourself on my phone you kiss it, so sweet! Of course you are still the most fashionable little girl ever and mommy loves playing dress up with you!

Your mom, dad and sister Olive love you SOOO much!!

Absentee Blogger...and not happy about it!

We've been so bad about blogging lately and we are SO sad about it! More to come very soon!!


**this picture was taken right after we took the tv remote away from her...

I AM ONE!!

I'm One! Being One means I am now a big girl! Here are some pictures from my first birthday on the beach (we celebrated early because everyone knows you get a "birthday month")! It was so much fun and so many of my friends were able to join me! My Aunt Jennifer flew in from New York and my SF best friend, Ellie and her parents came too!
My actual birthday fell on Father's Day this year, so I got to spend it with my AWESOME dad!!!

XO,

Relaxing with my dad, Mike and my BFF Ellie



One of my favorite gifts! My very own chair (Olive thinks it's her chair too!) My Uncle Matt and his awesome girlfriend Sarah gave it to me!


Told you Olive loves it!


Happy Father's Day to my dad and Happy Birthday to me!! Pictured here with my favorite people in the whole wide world!

Almost one an SO much fun!

We can't believe it that almost one year has gone by! Time flies when you're having fun. Our Princess is is the fastest crawler we know, walks while holding on to things, doesn't like to get dressed or have her diaper changed (will actually try to crawl away as fast as possible during her diaper changes), will eat up to three string cheeses a day if we would let her, eats puffs like crazy(so much so, she doesn't mind if they get sand on them), loves to offer up the things she's holding (depending on what it is, she may or may not really give it to you- it's her fake out), eats finger food and really LOVES fashion!

Yum, puffs taste so good...even with a little sand!

I got away before my mom could put a cute outfit on me...

Walking and holding on to mommy while wearing Aunt Ang's favorite pants :)


I love how cute she is when she sleeps!

Sharing her chair with her BFF Olive

String cheese is so YUM!


Maybe I'll share with Olive...

Or maybe I'll share with you...

No pictures please...I'm eating!

Just another day at the zoo...

A few weekends back my mom and dad took me to the Santa Ana Zoo. What a fun day...can't wait to go back!

Family shot...no, we're not members...not that die hard!

Not sure about the elephant behind my dad- I thought it was mean they made him wear a lei on his head and walk in circles with kids on his back...poor guy

My dad just showing me some cool spider monkey

My mom and I...she's not wearing any makeup but her outfit is cute and so is mine :)

BEST DAY EVER!!

Places to go, people to see, things to do...

I've been busy...very busy in fact. I like to play, get into and hold absolutely EVERYTHING that I can...I do it all while being super cute of course (that way nobody can get upset with me)! I have so much fun and at the end of the day I am exhausted!

XO,

So funny....

My best friend thinks I am funny too...

This is the smile of a happy little girl who just unloaded the bottom shelf of the refrigerator...

Crawling under the table at Matt and Sarah's house...

Loving the P's big dog (I told my mom and dad that Olive would love to have one but they didn't go for it...)

Playing with Luke (I use this eye poking trick all the time now!)

Just showing my sister my bath tub with all my toys in it...

So tired...(I made my mom and dad panic by sleeping like this, but I was comfy!)

So comfortable...

What I don't heart...

Being told I can't play in Olive's water dish...

Crawling when I want my dad to hold me...

Being told I'm not allowed to play with the printer...

Being told I can't play with mommies shoes...

The word "NO!"
