18 months

I know its the last day of the month, but Aniston turned 18 months old on February 8th! She has become such a big girl and amazes me everyday with all the things she learns! Its so crazy how much this little girl has all of us wrapped around her finger! Words cannot express how much I love being her mom and being a mom! It never gets old taking her out and watching her do things for the first time! Who knew I would be so proud when she learned to tell me she went "poo poo" (sorry, I know gross, but its the cutest thing ever how she says it) but 18 months feels like a big milestone for our little one. I wanted to be sure and record and remember all her favorite things and what she has learned!

 New Favorite Foods:
Happy meals (thats how we get through the grocery store)
Apples
Pickles
Fruit
Edamame
Chocolate covered Strawberries
Of course any kinda treat she can get her hands on

This was Valentines day

 Favorite things to do:
   Singing Songs! She knows the actions to Itsy, bitzy spider, Book of Mormon Stories, Happy and you know it, Wheels on the bus, and Jesus wants me for a sunbeam! She loves practicing these songs in Nursery and with Barney.
   She loves the iPad! She likes to navigate through Netflix and watch Elmo and Barney, play games and take a million pictures!
   She loves helping mommy in the kitchen by sweeping and mopping and vacuuming!
   Loves to empty her toy bin and read and get into whatever she can find!
   She also has started to love her babies and play mommy to her dolls. She is going to make a very good big sister someday!

Loved rollerskating! In her case being pushed on the scooter!

Sweeping away

Favorite Movies: Brave and Tangled

She gets zoned in when she watches her movies

Her hair is getting longer and curlier and she can now wear ponytails!!

First Ponytail

 We finally got to play in the snow!! She loved it!! We had a huge snow storm earlier this year and one morning we decided to go out in our apartment complex and play! We used bens snowboard as a sled and went down the snow mounds around the parking lot!

Another BIG transition happened this month!! Mr. Binky broke! So we are now binky free! Aniston chewed threw her binky, so I went ahead and cut it off and gave it back to her and she now knows what it means when something breaks! I heard from my dear friend Jacqueline that thats how she got McKenna to let go of the binky so I decided not to get another one! She has done great! Naptime and Bedtime are a little harder but she has her good and bad days, but I was very surprised how easy she took it!!

I wish I could stop the clock, because she is growing way to fast! She catches on to new words everyday and has turned into little miss attitude at times and its so hard to not laugh! Oh man, we have are hands full with this one, but she is the best and most amazing daughter! I am so blessed for the family I have been given and am so grateful for her and what she teaches me! We love our little monkey!
