Maggie is 18 months old today!
Weight: 27 lbs, 4 oz (90th percentile)
Height: 32 3/4 inches (75th percentile)
At 18 months old, Maggie is such a blessing. She is loving and cuddly. She loves to lay her head on us and it just melts our hearts. She has a very funny sense of humor and loves to dance. She is in that cute stage where she likes to pose for the camera. She loves playing with Campbell and the dogs.
Maggie is very smart and follows 1 and 2 part directions ("Pick that up and give it to Daddy"). She loves to take things to people and we use that to our advantage. If we are trying to get her to go to one of us and she doesn't really want to, we can hand her any random object and say "Take that to Mommy/Daddy" and she'll trot right on over. Her language is really exploding and she consistently says the following words: hi, bye, thank you, please, Mommy, Daddy, book, ball, dog, no, mine, yes, more, eat, shoes, backpack (from Dora), bow, bike, hat, that, this, hot, up, down, eye, baby, fish, boo (for Peek a boo). She knows body parts (eyes, hair, belly, hands, ear, nose, mouth) and loves to say the sounds animals make (sheep, cow, dog, lion).
Maggie is also very opinionated. She is quick to let us know when she's not happy. She is not a fan of riding in the car, but occasionally can be distracted by playing with an iPhone or singing songs (unfortunately her favorite song is Itsy Bitsy Spider...kind of hard to sing with the hand motions, which she insists upon, when you're driving).
Maggie lights up our lives with her contagious laugh, her round little belly, her sparkly, mischievous eyes, and her bouncing curls. One day I hope she reads this and knows how much she is loved!
