Monthly Milestones

Annabelle is 16 Months today! Here are somethings she did in her 15th month!

This month would be marked by words, words, words! She tries to say everything! She points, we say it and then she tries! As you will see she's mastered some. Here are a couple that she hasn't mastered but tries real hard...church, rock, flower and bike.

1. New foods: pickles, yogurt, pizza, hamburger, apple and pear juice (for those of you that don't know, up until this month she wouldn't drink anything but milk!), 2% milk (we are gradually switching her from Soy and her tummy is reacting well!)

2. New signs: I love you, cookie, down, obey, cold, stop and wait

3. New words: eat, help, waffle, kitty, go, keys, down, three, bite (when she wants a bite to eat), wheee (while swinging outside), owl and who-who (what the owl says), dog and woof-woof.

4. She picks up a book, and pats the chair she wants you to sit on to read her the book! Or if you are sitting on the floor, she'll hand you the book and then turn around and sit in your lap so you can read it to her!

5. She knows how to play well on her own. She takes care of her baby, by pushing her in her stroller, covering her with a blanket, giving her a pacifier or a toy to play with. She will be a great Mommy! Here she is kissing the bear Granny just sent her!

6. She likes to WALK up the steps, but can only do it if we are holding her hands.

7. She is getting her two upper first molars!! She has been a very easy teether, but we've shed some tears over these coming in.

8. She walks backwards and side to side....I think she is preparing herself for some dance lessons!

9. She went on her first bike ride this month. She loves being outside. Any chance she gets she wants to be outside!

10. She is showing her independence by wanting to hold her nebulizer during treatments.
