Anna with bear at eighteen months. (9/14/06)


Anna really likes it when I have my hair in a ponytail or if we see someone else with one. Her hair is getting just long enough that I can put a little one in her hair, and although she can't see it, she seems to enjoy its presence.


Anna is eighteen months old today! She is getting more and more fun as each month goes by. I also know that we are really lucky and that she is pretty "easy" when I hear some stories from other moms that I know. I know we'll have some tantrums and fits along the way, but we are enjoying her fun self now.

The past couple of days she has been saying "laugh" and then will practice her laugh. It usually helps if I practice with her and then, soon enough, we'll both really be laughing.

She says so many things, still uses all of her signs, and is speaking more clearly and in mini-sentences. Sometimes she still surprises me with the stuff that comes out of her mouth. She repeats everything we say and is a little chatterbox.

She uses her fork & spoon really well and uses them most of the time. She really likes fruit & vegetables. She would eat only berries, I think, if you'd let her. She currently really likes sweet potatoes, asparagus, broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, any fruit, and taquitos. She also likes eggs & toast or oatmeal for breakfast. Oh, and like her father, she loves bread and pizza.

She has given me a lot of signs that she might be ready for potty-training soon (waking up dry in the mornings, talking about going to the bathroom), but I think we'll hold off for another little while. I'm not really looking forward to the whole process, but maybe she'll take it easy on us. Another change in her horizon is moving into a regular bed. I'm not sure of the timing on that one yet, either, but I'm guessing in the next six months or so (she's not a climber and seems very content in her crib for now).

She has grown so much in the last six months and I'm excited to see what the next six bring us.

I LOVE the pony! Anna looks like such a little girl. She is like her cousin Raisa who likes "ponys" too!

Happy 18 months! Anna you sure have gotten taller in the last few months!
