Milestone: 18 months old

Today Karlee is 18 months old. Karlee continues to bring so much joy to our home and our family. She is so darn cute! Time really does fly by - wow! She continues to grow and change so much. She is such a daddy's girl, so much so that she will have nothing to do with mom if dad is in the room or at home for that matter. Some new things that she has learned to do within the last month are:
  • Walking - Yes she has finally decided that walking is pretty cool. She is still pretty wobbly, but enjoys practicing.
  • Climbs on and off everything. Sometimes its more like climbs on and falls off. She isn't the most graceful quite yet. Some things that she loves to climb on are the couch, chairs, weight bench, tables, beds, etc.
  • Balancing - Karlee has a small bouncy ball that she sits on and balances herself, she is pretty good at it.
  • Favorite snacks: cheese, rice cakes, chicken, anything her dad eats, yogurt, and Cheetos.
  • New words are: Love U, cheese, pease (please), "Hey baby", shoe.
  • Has thrown up 3 times (I know gross-poor thing!)
  • She has not been much of a snooper, she pretty much stays out our cupboards - so nice.
  • Loves books - she has her baby bouncer in her room (because we can't find a place to store it yet), so she grabs a book and climbs into the bouncer and reads the book as if it were a Lazy Boy recliner.
  • Dances when she hears music, she really can shake her bootie.
  • Continues to be a great traveler. Most the time I am turning around to see if she is awake, because she is so quiet. She usually is awake, just looking outside the window.
  • Loves Primary, especially Music time during Sharing Time. Her favorite song is "Do As I'm Doing". Karlee will sit so very still on the small chair and try her hardest to roll her arms, clap her hands, and stomp her feet.
  • Her dad has taught her the best "Cheese-er smile".
  • Loves to wear her shoes. She will go around the house saying "sue" (shoe), and carrying them for mom or dad to put them on.

She sure is growing up. Thank heavens she learned to walk so you could finally put in on the milestone list! She's a doll.

Seriously, she is the perfect child! What I would give to not have a snooper.

She is so precious! I would love to meet her someday! Karlee and Reagan seem like opposites so they would probably make good friends.
