18 months!


Sarah was 18 months on March 3rd. We are having so much fun with her! She is talking up a storm and says 130+ words on a regular basis. She also says a few phrases/sentences such as: "What's this?" "Bye, see you" "We did it." "There, got it!" "There she/he is!" "All done." "Pajamas on it" and a few others that I have probably forgotten. She is to the point that she will repeat pretty much anything we ask her to as long as it isn't too complicated. She can count up to four and says many of her letters (I don't think she quite recognizes them but she says a lot of letters when she tries to sing the song, they're just a little out of place.) She sings a lot of twinkle twinkle little star, it goes a little like this, "Little star, how I, how I, how I, wonder, sky, are." It's very cute. She can fold her arms and close her eyes for prayers, and says "amen" at the end. She loves tomatoes and pretty much any fruit, and she loves vegetables. She isn't a big fan of meat or bread, but she will eat it, she really isn't a very picky eater. She loves nursery, and she gets so excited to go! She is a very social little girl and will go to pretty much anyone. She loves animals and books a lot! She would still be content to be read to all day long. We have this book called Yellow is yummy. It's a Winnie the Pooh book. I was watching her the other day and she picked up that book, sat on the glider rocker and started flipping through the pages and said, "Yummy yellow apple Pooh." So, she definitely pays attention to the books we read her because all those words are prominently in there!" Also, She now has 13 teeth!! Anyway, this stage is so so fun, she is learning a ton of new words every day and I'll probably have to stop counting them because I can't keep up! She brings us so much joy every day and we can't imagine life without her! These is a picture from her first day in nursery (3/7/10). Also, here is the list of words that I came up with, I'm sure I missed a lot but, here it is anyway:

She sounds like a smarty pants! Good for you for keeping a record of her growth. It's fun to look back and remember what they were doing/saying at each age.

your little Sarah is SMAAAART!!! I'm amazed at how much she is talking at 18 months!! I've been a nursery leader in two of my previous wards, and the 18 month old's aren't that fluent, at least not that I remember... and I'm comparing her to my little guy, granted he's 3 months younger, but still... even when she was his age, she is definitely talking a lot!!! she's a cutie!
