happy 1/2 birthday kaylea jordyn

I can't believe how quickly time passes with a little girl. It's hard to believe she is already 18 months old, but she is. Here are some things we want to remember about this age -

1. You repeat everything, and everyone comments on it. It doesn't matter what we say, you try to repeat it. I call you a mocking bird.
2. You are saying 2-3 word sentences such as, "where did it go," "I'll get it," and "What's that?"
3. You have at least 12 teeth (it's difficult to tell because you won't let me in there to see).
4. You love books - sometimes you read them to us and sometimes we read them to you.
5. We cannot get you to eat table food. You will eat some things, but you are still caught up on baby food.
6. You love cats, even though we don't have one anymore.
7. You love the doodle. When we go somewhere and she is not there, you are often looking for her.
8. You have recently started not needing as much sleep and are waking up way too early. You usually go to bed between 7:30 and 8:00 and are awake by 6:00 or 6:30.
9. You take 1 nap a day (about 2 hours).
10. You love to play!
11. You love your daycare. You are happy to see us when we pick you up, but you are always smiling and having a good time when we get there.
12. Your favorite songs - twinkle twinkle, row your boat, itsy bitsy spider, ring around the rosey.
13. Your favorite shows - Sponge Bob, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, Timmy Time
14. Your favorite books - anything with picture of animals or food
15. Your favorite toys - playhouse, grill & kitchen, ball pit
16. Your favorite food/snacks - cakes (sometime you wake up chanting cakes, cakes, cake), cookie, grilled cheese, mac & cheese, and oatmeal. I told your dad the other day that I think food is always on your mind. Out of the blue you will just start saying cookies.
17. We are amazed by how smart you are. You keep us on our toes and we can't wait to see how much you grow by your next half birthday.
