16 Months Old

Just some notes on Claire at 16 months:

-Finally weighs 20 pounds, 11 ounces. We are changing car seats this week! She still rides in her infant carrier.

-She is getting lots more hair. It is dark brown, and kind of curly.

-She loves to eat. Breakfast: Oatmeal, pancakes, biscuits, or fruit and yogurt are her favorites. She started throwing scrambled eggs in the floor this month. Lunch: She usually eats sweet potatoes, cheese, and a piece of fruit. She also likes grilled cheese, cheese quesadillas, and rice or pasta. Dinner: She eats whatever I fix for dinner. Favorites are baked chicken, spaghetti, rice, couscous, peas, carrots, green beans, rice. She does not really like any meat, with the exception of chicken. She only drinks water, and still loves Ritz Crackers.

-I am trying to figure out her new nap schedule. She is transitioning from 2 naps to 1, and we are still trying to get her figured out. Right now, she still needs a nap pretty early in the day, around 10 and sleeps until 12. The afternoon nap is hit or miss, but she likes to be in bed about 7:00 or 7:30, and most nights sleeps until 7:30 the next morning.

-She is hilarious, and is talking a ton! Some new things she says are: Batman, Lydia, Jill, Abby, Amy, Izzy, Emma, so cute, I want whee (that means I want down), I want Bo-gee (sweet potatoes)(not sure where that came from), I want snack, I want go (Let's go home), I want Jack/Mommy/ Daddy, and she still says "Hold me, Mama" many, many times per day. Also, Amen, Jesus, bath, and cow. There is probably more, but those are my favorites.

-She loves, loves music and dancing. She loves to be read to. She and Jackson have started fighting some this month. She hit him a couple of times, and we have been working on that.

That is all that is going on with Sissy this month. She is growing up, and we are enjoying every second with her. She is super laid back, and is just an easy baby. We love her to pieces!
