18 months!

Things I want to remember about Liv at 18 months (in no particular order):

• She loves to snuggle. She will rest her head on my shoulder, pat my back and rock from side to side.
  
• She gives great kisses.
  
• She is an awesome sleeper (12-13 hours a night) and naps around 3 hours on average. One night this week she slept over 14 hours and I finally peeked in her room at 9:30am to make sure that she was OK.
  
• She doesn't talk much. Her most frequent words are "bun" (bunny) and "mo mo" (which seems to mean more, mama, and 'I want that').
  
• She still sucks her middle fingers when she is tired.
  
• She drinks well from a regular cup and likes to feed herself (and is getting neater all of the time).
  
• She can be somewhat dramatic and has started flopping for emphasis.
  
• She loves her brothers and likes to be around them (I think they spoil her more than her parents do).
  
• She always gives Rob a very warm reception when he gets home from work, including running into his arms for a big hug.
  
• She follows commands very well such as, "Go climb in your chair," or "go get your shoes."
  
• She likes accessories and "girly" things (shoes, jewelry, dresses, etc.).
  
• She is a climber! I am constantly pulling her off of the tables and counters.
  
• She loves watching herself dance in the full-length mirror in my bathroom. She will also climb up on our kitchen table and and watch herself dance through the reflection in the sliding glass door.
  
• She is itty-bitty and still fits into lots of 6-12 month size clothing.
  
• She scoots down the stairs on her bum, or holds on to the railing and walks down.
  
• She is a sweetie pie! We love her so much and are so thankful to have her in our family!
