I kind of forget this little corner of the web was here. Sorry, blog! Here's an 18 month Arley update to make up for it. ;) (Full disclaimer, I'm copying/pasting from IG...)
At 18 months she is talking SO much! She puts together full sentences (I.e. "I want a cheese stick.") and commands ("Dakota! Sit down!"). Just this weekend she switched from the full open mouth slobbery kiss to the kissy lip smooches (with sound effects) and she's been practicing her new kiss technique on everyone she sees. She doesn't know very many strangers (but hates crowds and is nervous around loud people) and she is fast to snuggle up to mom's friends and convinces them to cuddle/snuggle/feed/play with her. She has the biggest belly laugh and the smoochiest cheeks when she smiles. She is currently obsessed with dolls and wants them swaddled in blankies as she packs them around. Other favorites are: Dakota hugs, being outside, sandbox, plasma car, stealing brother's toys, and picking things up and putting them away. She loves to 'help' but we constantly have to check the garbage to make sure she hasn't made any unwanted deposits. In the last month she's started some on the floor tantrums but so far they don't last long. Her favorite foods are noodles, watermelon(!), shrimp, frozen gogurts, and she had more than her fair share of Popsicles this summer. She wears size 4 diapers (5 at night) and 18-24 month clothes (a lot of 2T too). She is obsessed with clothes and SHOES. She loves dressing up and changes her shoes several times a day. (Thank you to our friends for amazing hand me downs!! We'd be in trouble without them!) She has started mentioning baby and pointing to mama's belly and kisses and talks to baby too. I know she'll make an awesome big sister. She is the sweetest girl I've ever known but she does have quite the sass. Love this sweetie girl and her big personality so very much!! (Stats coming after checkup.) #arleysbabybook#18months
