16 Months

My, how the month has flown! Our little girl has thrived. I don't know weight because our scale is stupid. We bought the same one we had before but apparently it doesn't weigh like the other one. It still shows just over 16 lbs like it did at 15 months when at the doctor she was 16lbs 10oz. She's maybe 17lbs? I don't know.

Walking, ah walking. Finally! She can take steps & catch her balance. Bribing gets the most steps/work/effort. She has recently started taking the incentive to walk on her own. Taking off from the couch or table but it's only been a few times & usually she falls quickly. I've been making her walk holding my hand, like a big girl. She does pretty good. She's becoming a better & better eater & starting to eat more meats. I still give her a bottle at night, before bed, & I don't know if I'm suppose too but oh well, my choice. She's saying more words but not as much as some kids her age. Oh well I guess. She LOVES to tell people bye & wave but only when she wants too. She knows when people are getting ready to leave & will say bye like a maniac. We've had a few instances where she wanted to go too & got upset. :( My poor baby! I'm not sure when we'll move her to a toddler bed but maybe around 18 months? That's lik 6 weeks away though &.... doesn't seem likely. Haha. She needs to walk first, that's our big milestone I want to get too. I will order the necessary parts though once we get to Ft. Campbell. Yup, in 5 short days we're leaving Ft. Huachuca & heading to Fort Campbell, Kentucky but we plan to live in Tennessee. I am very sad, I like it here & it's close to family. Katie has a boyfriend & they've finally started playing. :( Not fair, it's not fair!

What is she wearing. Still wearing 12m clothes but I'm sure smaller 18m ones might fit. She wears some 18m pjs. Some 12m pants are getting short but darn it, my skinny minnie's waist barely fits in 12m. 18m pants will fall right off her. I use pamper swaddlers, they're thin, so no help there. BOO! :) Diapers, she's in size 3 & will be for quite a while. She does have lots of cute 18m clothes so can't wait to use those. It's going to be cold in Tn so I'll probably be breaking into them soon. :) Shoes, still size 2. We have 3s ready if her feet ever decide to grow. :) Teeth, number 11 finally broke through a short time ago. Seems like she's teething but haven't felt any new bumps or teeth. Time will tell. :)

Well, I guess that's about all. Nothing too exciting. Still small, still a ball of energy, & oh so happy! :)
