Oh Hopers, how are you already 18 months?! You are such a fun, animated, joyful little girl. And you are in such a fun stage. It seems like you are learning so much, so fast. Slow down little lady! Just today we are in the store and you saw a book with Elmo on the cover, pointed it and casually said 'Elmo"! What the heck?! When did my kid learn about Elmo?! Here are a few fun facts are your life right now:
1. Shoes. "Shoooooooeeeesssss!" That's how your pronounce them every time you see a pair. It doesn't matter if they're yours, mamas, dadas, or even on a rack at the store. You are elated to see them, match them, and wear them. You usually have a preference on which ones you want, which changes by the day (dear God help me when you get to high school). Today you also had a preference on which shoes I wear...luckily mine had some bling on them, so you were a-okay with the ones I picked out for the day.
2. Your new favorite word is "bubye" and you love to say it. A few months ago you had a hard time when I left the house, but now you get excited when I leave because you get to practice your new favorite word. "Bubye! Bubye! Bubye!" Until I am out the door. It's cute, but I sometimes miss my sentimental little girl.
3. When your food comes out of the oven/microwave I blow on it and say "hot", so you've gotten in the habit of blowing on it too. The other day we were outside and you wanted to sit on your chair but I told you it was hot, so you blew on it a while and then sat down. You are always making us laugh!
4. You recently started going to Mother's Day Out two mornings a week at a local church while mom goes to the church to work. You LOVE it there. Some of your friends are in your class and you get to play with them all day. I mean, heaven on earth. Just today we spotted Ellie outside coming into class at the same time and you wanted to hold her hand all the way into class. Precious.
5. Your new "thing" is animals. You read about them, make all the noises, and play with them. Your favorite is Mr. Elephant, who sleeps loyally by your side each night. Now you never want to go to bed without him. And whenever you're looking for him you just make an elephant trunk with your hand so I know what you're asking for. Smart little cookie.
6. Here are some of the words you can currently say: mama, dada, nana, jojo, teeth, shoes, eat (more like a groaning: eaaaaatttt!), no (don't we all love that word - not!), josh, ball, bag, wawa (water), and so much more.
Oh Hope, we love you so much. Life just wouldn't be the same without you spunk, joy and pure sweetness. Stop growing so fast!
