Favorite Toys: Balls, balloons, books, anything she can throw and then go get (fetch) or anything she can slide along the floor.
Proudest Moments: Climbing up the playground and going down the slide all by herself! Climing stairs. Saying her first words which include, "dada", "what's that?" and "hi!". (notice that mama is not in the mix yet).
Favorite People: Mommy, Daddy, Aunts, Uncles, Grandmas, Grandpas, other kids and babies. She is quite the Daddy's girl lately though. She follows him everywhere and begs him to pick her up. She looks for him every morning at his desk. She cries and cries everytime he leaves the house. This is a little hard on all of us since he isn't around much.
Biggest Fear: The elderly and a vibrating cow toy
Favorite Non-Toy: Dogs, binki, paper, pictures of babies and kids, cords and plugs.
Things She Mimics: Shakes her head no, kisses, so big, high five, singing a Spanish song "canta y no llores" (she does the ay ay ay part with me), smiles, barking like a dog.
Favorite Games: peek-a-boo, emptying things (especially my makeup bag), catch, fetch, chase the ball,
Soothers: Binki
Favorite Place: The playground, she just takes off and doesn't care whether I am there or not, grandma's house (both of them) because there is a dog and stairs to climb.
Mischievous things that she does: Unplugs things, finds pens and draws on the couch, empties the garbages.
Least Favorite things: Laying on her back, getting dressed, having old people hold her, when other kids pull her hair.
Hair Color: brown and getting darker
Best Features: big very blue eyes and very long eyelashes! Everyone always comments about them!
Sleep Schedule: She is doing really well these days. 12 hour nights (she usually goes to bed at 7 or 7:30) and two 1 - 1 1/2 hour naps. This has definatley not always been the case. We have had to let her "cry it out" on two seperate ocassions now (once at 8 months and again at 10 months after we stayed at someone else's house for a week), but it worked! She even reaches for her bed when she's really tired. She can't sleep anywhere but her crib though and that can be hard sometmes. Also, she struggles when her schedule gets too disrupted. About an hour before bed we need to start by having a bath, nursing, reading 2 books and saying prayers, if we skip out on this she has a hard time settling down.
Here she is after emptying the trash can and then heading to unplug the dryer.
