I have gotten so behind on your updates! So, we are skipping ahead to now. You just turned 20 months old, and I am amazed every day at how much you are growing and learning!
Here are some updates on our life lately.

| Such a good helper with yard work! |
Your milestones these days are definitely more cognitive skills than motor skills, but that's because you are already a pro at running like a crazy kid around the house, screaming at the top of your lungs, going down the slide, and so on. One really cute new thing that you've been working on for the last few months is jumping. You have finally figured out how to jump up and down, but it is a production every single time. And you don't just jump up and down in place, you jump from one spot on the floor to another one a few feet away. It's incredibly adorable. Mostly, you jump when you are in a good mood and excited about something. You are also trying to figure out how to jump off of inanimate objects like boxes, mommy or daddy, the end of your slide, and anything and everything else that will get you up off the ground a few inches.

Mommy was worried a few months ago because you weren't saying very many words, but I had nothing to worry about!
Your Words are:
No
Yes
Mom or Mama
Dad
Teddy
Banana (nay-nay)
Baby
More
Sit
Sock
Boot
Go
Slide
Car
Vroom vroom
Choo choo
Rharr (or some sort of dinosaur/lion growl)
Water (wah-wah)
Nose
Bye bye
Night night
Mermaid
You're also forming some multiple word phrases like "sit down" and "I want more", and you love to motion for people to come with you into another room or to sit down next to you. The expression you use when you are trying to convince someone to do what you want them to do is priceless. One of these days, I'll be quick enough to get a picture of it!
At your 18 month checkup, your were:
20 pounds 9 ounces
and
29 inches tall.
Love,
Mommy
