18 Months

This little pretty is eighteen months! She is a crazy girl and lights up our home! She is quite the little stinker in all her busybody-ness, but she is such a snuggler which makes it all okay. Of course Maylee is a picky eater, but I would not expect any less from one of my children. She eats mostly toast, cheese, yogurt, apples, bananas, grapes, fries, chicken fries, pizza, quesadilla, grilled cheese, and cracker things...and of course anything sweet anyone else is eating! She loves cheese....yes, I know. At least I can load her with fruits and spinach in a smoothie!

I have let her "practice" eating with a spoon and it usually ends up something like this! Sticky little stinker!

The child loves bananas...and of course there is no better place to put leftover banana than in your hair!

 We got home from Sedona the afternoon of Maylee's eigtheen month birthday so we HAD to have a cake. The kids were all exhausted, but chocolate frosting makes everything better! :) **Maylee had her first bail and owie while we were gone. She was a champ and it has since healed up quite nicely. It looks worse than it was**

 Maylee is really good at signing "all done" and I love it every time she does it. She holds her hands up and twists her little wrists like she is doing a dance or something. LOVE IT! She is just so dainty and oh so cute!

Maylee says a fair amount of words and understands pretty much everything. She can say sticky, stinky (stk stk), mama, dad, pup pup, ball, num num, Hailee (lllll), up, please (eese), and maybe a couple others. She is not a huge talker, but she knows how to tell ya what she wants. She is walking all over and loves shoes. She tries to run and is a great climber. She likes to eat crayons and pull her brother's hair. She loves books and will never turn down chocolate or a marshmallow. She loves Baby Einstein and hates the garbage man. Mentioning her blanket will make her giggle - give her her blanket and she will lay her head down on your shoulder and suck her thumb (pure heaven). She goes to bed about 7:45ish and sleeps all night until 8:30 or 10:45 or anywhere in between. She takes one nap and goes down like a charm.
