16 Months
Sweet baby girl-
Today you are 16 months young. The next time the number 16 will be an important milestone is when you will be 16 years old! Oh gosh I can’t even bare to think of you being that old. Getting your driver’s license and out and about, without me. Can we keep you 16 months young forever?
You are a girly girl. You love to wear five, six, seven necklaces at the same time. If you are not wearing them then you are making Sophie B, daddy or me wear them. You also love to wear your bracelets around your wrist. A new girly thing you have started enjoying: SHOES! Oh dear, this is a bad, expensive habit to fall in love with…but it may already be too late. This morning you insisted, absolutely insisted, to wear your pink shoes. You tried to slip them on over your pjs but they wouldn’t fit. I took off your pj legs and slipped on your shoes.
When I turned my back, you had ripped off the rest of your pjs and were walking around in just your diaper and shoes.
You loved to hear the way they clicked against the hardwood floor so you kept spinning in circles. I think you might enjoy dance lessons someday.
You kept sitting down to admire your sparkly pink shoes. It was so precious. I just sat and took it all in.
You even wanted Sophie to enjoy your shoes.
You love your doggie so much and love to give her kisses throughout the day. When you are not kissing her you are yelling at her to SIT or climbing all over her. She doesn’t seem to mind though.
Besides Sophie B, you love Theo, my cat. Today, while daddy and papa were installing the new screen door, we went over grandma’s house. You instantly looked for Theo so you could pet him. Theo started meowing and you responded with a ‘meow’ back at him. It was so cute.
You colored a beautiful picture of Barney while at grandma’s house.
But Theo’s feelings quickly got hurt and he wanted your attention.
You tried coloring him…and then moved on to color grandma. You crack me up.
Friday you had your second experience with chocolate and I must say…you loved it.
Then you decided to give mommy a big hug and shared your chocolate face with my gray sweater. Thanks!
You are still my little nursling and enjoy your milk. First thing in the morning you want your milk. A couple hours later, either out of boredom or comfort, you want your milk. Lately you have been nursing just to come be closer to me and I enjoy this time together. You look up into my eyes and smile away. I’ll sing to you or tell you a funny story and you start laughing, clapping, and nursing away. Yes, you do all three at the same time!
These have been the most blessed 16 months of my life and I look forward to many more months and years, and years, and years, as your mommy. I hope you always feel loved and special, because you are, in so many ways.

Shoes and chocolate? You’re right, she is not that far from 16 years.

Shoes, Chocolate and Jewelry! She’s a girly girl! Elaine loves her jewels and she always wants to wear these pink boots around the house. Too funny!

She is a girly girl. Kaitlynn loves shoes and jewelry too. She calls her jewelry, her Avon. I think since a lot of my jewelry comes from Avon (because I sell it), she hears that a lot.
