She is the queen of imitation lately. She will say pretty much anything that we coax her to say--including, but not limited to: bread, butter, cheese, out, and P-U. She will do pretty much any sign that I show her (and does "please" "all done" and "more" without prompting). She nods and shakes her head all the time appropriately. She will imitate me doing my exercise video. Her squats may be deeper than mine, but my jumping jacks are better.
Her newest favorite pasttime is sitting on a stool at the breakfast bar and coloring or drawing. She also loves to stool-hop and crawl from stool to stool. She can even get up on them by herself, sometimes. Not that I would let her do that.
She's digging toast lately. Adores it. And we only get whole wheat bread, so I don't even feel bad for letting her have toast for breakfast every day. And she's into yogurt. Nothing hits the spot quite like the Wild Rice Soup we had a few weeks ago though.
We've moved the Cozy Coupe inside for her to ride around in here because mama was too cold to play outside with it.
She's also discovered it's fun to take toys with her places. So far we've taken the Little Tikes dad and girl, Blue doll, fraternal twin baby dolls, and 3 kids from the bus to various places (including daycare and shopping). Along with the trusty blanket. Paci stays home these days--relegated to the crib.
Have I mentioned that 18 months is my favorite of all the ages so far?
