18 month update

Below are a few interesting things that happened this month:
- pushes her "babies" (babydolls) in the stroller instead of sitting in the stroller herself
- loves Elmo now (2nd b-day party idea?? ehem...)
- says "Ouch" when something hurts
- points to the TV and says "TV"
- pats her babies on the back and says "Night night"
- knows all her body parts and can say them too!
- answers "yes" and "no" when you ask a question - doesn't always understand what you're asking though!
- picked up a new habit of throwing anything in the trash - I'm missing half my spices now!!
- puts her toys away
- starts drawing with a pen or crayon (still wants to put them in her mouth)
- learned to drink with a straw! Now she loves her milk!
- made some new friends at school. They get to do all kinds of fun things in the 1-year-old room - water play, bounce house, bubble shows, petting zoo, etc. She's really having so much fun and learning a lot.
- can say "book" and points to it when she wants it, same with "baby" for her babydoll.
- Sings along when you sing songs to her. She even started doing hand motions. "If you're happy and you know it" is her favorite song. She asks you to sing it by saying "Happy, happy, happy!" She also does the hand movements with "Wheels on the bus". Those are her two favorites!
