Lauren is 18 months Old!

All I have to say is, Lauren, you rule this house. :)

 At 18 Months, you... 

• Weigh 31.5 lbs (99%) and 34 inches (97%)
• Wear size 5 diapers, 2T clothes (some 3T play t-shirts), and 6.5 size shoe
• Officially off the bottle at 1 year and off the pacifier at 14months. I was really apprehensive to take the paci away, but you did excellent!
• At 18 months, I showed you the last pacifier I saved (for whatever reason) and asked you to throw it away, you did not hesitate (made mama proud)
• Since you began to walk, it was mostly on your tip toes, but lately you've been walking flat, which is good for cute shoes ;)
• You are learning to talk as you go and you are definitely starting to repeat a lot more now...
• You can say: dada, juju, ball, bow (hair bow), bow (rainbow), ball, boon (balloon), leche, agua, car, juice, go, hi, bye, phone, down, shoes, mama (only a few times, but I'll count it), around, belly, bu (blue), kitty, yay, yum, again, oh-oh, tee (tree), cheese, hello
• You now have 14 teeth
• You do not like anyone feeding you, so that means that you know how to feed yourself :)
• Can watch TV alllll day if we let you
• Love playing with mommy's phone. Recently discovered "Talking Tom "and you found it very amusing.
• Favorite toys: drums, stacking toys, and puzzles. You are really good at puzzles!!!
• You do not have a whole lot of stranger anxiety, but you are also not very friendly to strangers --GOOD!
