One and a Half

Playing outside after going for a walk.  The tears are from the chilly wind!

Eighteen months already.  Where does the time go?  

Playing with homemade play dough.  It's hard to keep her off the table!

Strawberry enjoys playing with play dough, colouring, reading books, climbing and getting into anything her brothers are doing, even Lego!  Loves to read and dance to music.

Giving her upset big brother a hug 

She is very observant and continues to surprise us with her ever-expanding vocabulary.  Even things you don't think someone that little would remember or pay attention to.  Like picking up C-note's Flat Stanley and saying, "Stanee!  Stanee!"  Or hearing me tell her brother that some friends are coming over and she runs over and repeats the names and gets excited!
Newest phrases are "Catch you!"  "Where going?"  "What doing?"  "Go walk?  Boots?  Hat?"  She thinks it's funny when she sits in someone else's chair or takes a bite of someone else's food.  She gives a grin and says "Hey!"

She likes to help and likes to be involved with everything going on around the house.  She'll hand me every piece of cutlery from the basket when emptying the dishwasher, and "help" fold laundry.  "Daddy shirt," "Cammum sock," while handing me the clothes!  Lately she's been trying to put on her pants and shirt herself and refuses my help until she gives up.  And she'll find random articles of clothing laying around and try them on.  She's had everyone else's slippers in at one time or another and clomp, clomp, clomps around with them on, grinning all the way.

Big brothers are hilarious!  C-note gets the best giggles when he's goofing around to make her laugh.

Having a chat at (on) the table.  Maybe a lecture about her always climbing onto it??
