18 Months

Height: 31 1/8 inches (25%)

Weight: 23 pounds, 13 ounces (75%)

Teeth: 12 ish :) and we started using a spin toothbrush since she insists on “brushing” by herself.

Words: Lots! She is starting to pick up on lots of things.  Just this week she started saying “wow” and “gosh” just because she heard us saying them!  

Clothing Size: 18 Months

Favorite Foods: biscuit (Chick-fil-a), Chuy’s beans and rice, blueberries, corn, green peas, Crispx cereal, ice cream, banana pudding

Drinks: whole milk, water, white grape juice (70/30 water to juice) and sometimes we try Sprite or lemonade

Sleeping: Bedtime is between 7:00 and 8:00 and she usually wakes up around 6:40.  She now takes 1 nap a day…but always sleeps with her cat!

Favorite TV shows: Mickey Mouse Clubhouse & Jake and the Neverland Pirates

Tricks: She is an expert at working an iPhone and loves to watch videos of herself and names all the people in the pictures (she started saying Mike for Uncle Mike and its so cute!).  She can officially point to all (and I mean all) body parts when asked.  She has mastered the shapes bucket and can always put the shapes in the correct spot.  She is a big helper and will follow commands like “please put that in the trash” or “please shut the door” or “sit down, NOW!”  I’m pretty sure she is a little too smart for her own good sometimes!

Favorite Person: Gramma, but Momma when Gramma’s not around, but always Daddy in the morning and before bed

Favorite Animals: dogs and lions...she can make both of their sounds

Favorite Toys: purses, bracelets, sunglasses, Cozy Coupe car, Whoa! Boy, books, lipstick, baby dolls, balls…and anything she isn’t supposed to have...currently she loves parts of my food processor, chip clips, bobby bins and the tongs for the grill!  

Here are some iPhone pics taken between 15 and 18 months!

Happy Birthday Kobey!!!

It is so hard to believe that Kobey just turned 5 in August...FIVE...I mean, it was literally like yesterday when he was born!  He is such a sweet boy, and I am so thankful to have such a special relationship with him. I am even more thankful to watch him and his sister as they build a bond with Charley.  He had a fun-packed night with dinner at Texas Roadhouse and games at Chuck e Cheese...Sweet CeCe’s was on the agenda, but for some reason (weather, I think), plans changed....not for us, however, we celebrated his birthday a little more with frozen yogurt for the road home!

Happy Birthday to my Super Star Best Buddy!  

Miss Priss Goes To The Fair

Apparently the Wilson County Fair is a big deal around here and one of those events that you just can’t miss!  I knew the weekend crowd would be way too much for us to try and handle, so we went on Monday night.  It even worked out for Granddad to take a day off from work and come down and enjoy the fun with us!  We had so much fun walking around, riding rides, and eating junk food.  Of course Miss Priss was the center of our attention!  Can’t wait to do this every year!!!

I know she enjoyed riding the rides, but I am pretty sure her favorite two things were Granddad’s ice cream cone and the water bottle!

Courtney and Baby Finley’s Shower

Its so hard to believe that we just had a baby shower for Courtney and Baby Finley!  That means she will be here in no time at all!  I have to say, I stressed over this shower more than I normally do, but it all turned out super cute....technically, it was “cute as a button!!!"  Rachel, Candace, Deanna Tetter and I were the hostess, and it was at Deanna’s house in Lebanon.  Pretty sure over 60 people came, so when Gramma was able to change her plans at the last minute to come and help with Miss Priss, I was extremely thankful!!!  We tried to make everything look very “Courtney,” which I think we succeeded...mason jars, fresh flowers, salty and sweet snacks, lots of dips, and teeny-tiny desserts with teeny-tiny spoons.  It must have been very “Charley” too, because she managed to get her hands on FOUR banana pudding cups!  She literally licked the last bit out of the cup on the ride home!  Such a fun day and so happy to celebrate for a dear friend and Charley and Harper’s new BFF!  Bring on October!!!! (That’s when I guessed she would arrive...October 2nd to be exact...what better present for Aunt Jess than for Finely to be born on my birthday!)
