You are One and a Half!


wow, 18 months old already! what a big girl.

you are fun and funny and sweet and silly. you learn more words every day. now your favorite thing to say is "mommy! mommy! mommy! mommy!" about 84,000 times per day. you have known my name for a long while, but you only recently discovered that you enjoy using it to get my attention. you literally follow me around the house saying "mommy" over and over and over. you don't even necessarily want anything. you just want to say "mommy."

this past weekend, some friends came to visit us. one of them is a little boy just about 6 weeks older than you, named Isaac. you two hit it off pretty well. you'd met one other time before, when you were both really little. you had a little bit of trouble seeing him sit in your chair and use your toys. you only wanted a toy if he had it. as soon as he was done, it wasn't interesting to you anymore. i hope you grow out of the non-sharing phase relatively soon. you guys did have a lot of fun together, when you weren't fighting :)

tonight, we had a party for some other friends, who are moving out of the continental US in about a week. they have a brand new baby, named edith, and her mom and i were talking about how very soon she'll be as big as you are now. the time really does just fly. here are some pictures of you having fun at the party. you liked dancing to the little jam session. ivy played the drums, and you just wanted to shake your booty.

everyone keeps telling me lately that you have beautiful eyes. i have to say i agree.

i love you! happy half-birthday!
love, mom
