At 16m Randal Jean....
*Loves to make animal noises. Moo and wuff are her favorite. Instead of saying animals names she refers to animals as the sounds they make
*Is very particular about shoes. She currently only has one pair that she doesn't rip off within seconds of putting on...joy!
*Says "bye" with a southern accent and attitude to boot!!! Instead of goodnight she tells Matt "bye" before she goes to bed....it hilarious to hear the way she says it with such attitude. I'll try to get that on camera for y'all
*Loves Yo Gabba Gabba and will chase you with the remote saying "Gabba Gabba Gabba" until you give in and when you don't she sometimes will have a melt down because in her world not watching Gabba is the worst thing EVER!!!! Oh well, she's got to learn she can't always get her way.
*Is getting better at coloring. It is still very much scribble but she has finally figured out how much pressure to apply the crayon to 1) actually write and 2)not break
*LOVES bath time but HATES having her hair washed
*Still loves her Cobi and Tessa. She refers to Cobi as "Bubba" which is probably my fault since I am never consistent in what I call him. She is getting the hang of "Tessa".
*Gets a kick out of sharing her snack with Cobi and will give herself a big round of applause after she feeds him...feeding the dog is not so cute to me but seeing her get so excited about it is adorable :)
*Tries to blow kisses, but for now it is really just kissing the palm of her hand and leaving her hand over her mouth...she will figure it out soon enough
*Is getting much better with feeding herself with a fork. Most times I let her use an adult fork as the children's forks are good for nothing and just frustrate the heck out of her
*Is easily frustrated when she doesn't get her way or can't quite figure something out
*Is still a pretty good eater and surprises me with some of the things she will and wont eat. For example she has decided she no longer likes bananas but will eat raw green peppers. I'd take a banana over a green pepper any day if I were given the choice
*Loves bubbles!!! In the bath tub or blowing them in the front yard
*Loves dirt and will play in it any time we are outside
*Loves the sand and the water
*Is starting to try and climb out of her crib (scary!!!!) she isn't quite tall enough to actually pull herself over but she tries....I really hope not to hear her fall out of the bed in the middle of the night.
*Refuses to say Mama or Nana which is a total bummer considering my mom and I spend just as much if not more time with her than Matt and she is a pro at "dada"
*Loves to go up and down stairs
*Likes to twirl but then she gets dizzy and crashes to the ground
*Likes to tote her purse and plastic golf clubs around the house....at the same time
*Is an absolute joy and keeps us on our toes every second!!!!!
I will second all of the above and add that I am enjoying spending much more time with both of my sweet ladies now that I'm done studying! (for now, I'm still looking for a few more initials to tack on, PHD?)
