18 Months!

What?!?

It's my birthday!! I am a whole year and half and my Mommy and Daddy say they can hardly believe it. I am getting so big and learning so much every day. I'm talking up a storm with big sentences and new words. I am also very helpful. I unload the silverware from the dishwasher, help pick-up toys (sometimes), play ball and tug-o-war with Daisy, distribute everyone their cups at daycare (they are color-coordinated and I know everyone's color... when I need a drink, they surely need one too so I take it to them...keeping the kids hydrated one cup at a time ;), help Mommy wash and fold clothes (kinda), water the flowers, and get the mail every day.
I am also learning to count and practice a lot. Every time Mommy wants me to stop doing something she starts... "1" and I finish "2..."
** Mommy note: At first it was really hard not to laugh, but she now knows if she doesn't stop by 3, Mommy moves her to a new location (for example, to get her out of the fridge so we can close the door as she likes to sit in it) Not exactly how I imagined teaching my kid to count but eh, us moms, we do what we can!
Tubby's are my FAVE!
Morning routine. I sit and brush my teeth while Mommy does my hair.
Just can't help but talk to my beautiful self in that mirror!

Happy Mother's Day yesterday to all those special Mommies we know! I was a little crabby but Mommy loved me anyway. We didn't do much, but had a nice day at home. Saturday we met some new friends. Aiden is 19 months old and we spent the afternoon following each other around and showing each other how neither of us know how to share just yet. He is all boy, but we had fun on the slide, coloring with chalk, and playing with my magnets on the door.

Well, if you aren't familiar with Texas - Spring brings a lot of wind and up and down temperatures. We have had a few 90+ degree days and I really get lots of use out of my water table. We like the weather so far, especially when Nana and Papa are talking about snow, but we'll see what we think when we are commenting on 100+ this summer.
It was just so hot...

The videos this week are me being busy. 1) Fun with water again, although I got creative and decided I needed a swimming pool!


2) Me on the slide. This slide is really big and usually much too fast for me without Mommy or Daddy's hand to guide me, however, I now know a way to slow down...

Love till next week! x

Cute, cute videos! Miss Maddy is certainly growing up very fast. (Though not so fast she can't enjoy some time in the backyard in her diaper! :) ) Love listening to that adorable voice calling Daisy...Love to you all.
