18 months...just a little late!

Ava Kate turned 18 months on April 6th. I can't believe she is already 1 1/2!  She is growing and changing so much! Here is what she is up to at 18 months!
-She weighs 23.11 ounces and is 33 inches tall.  She is a tad smaller than AR at this age. 

-She wears size 4 diaper.  She wears anything from 18month-2T in clothes and size 5 shoe. 

-She has 6 regular teeth and 2 of her molars in and 2 on their way.

-She had tubes put in last month and has did great since.
-She is a great sleeper.  Sometimes she still takes a short morning nap but her long nap is around 1 and she sleeps until around 4 and then goes to bed around 7 or 7:30.


-She doesn't sit still very often and hasn't liked T.V. until recently.  She will actually sit still and watch a show now which helps Mommy cook dinner! Her favorites are Dora, Team Umizoomi and Bubble Guppies.  She isn't a big Mickey Mouse fan right now but she loves the hotdog dance!

-She loves playing with Big Sister!  When AR is at school, she isn't very happy! 

-She loves being outside.

-She loves puzzles and books especially about animals. 
She also loves to wear dress up crowns and jewlery!
-I was a little concerned that she wasn't saying as many words as she should but in the past week, she has already added quite a few words and some phrases and is repeating more of what we say.
Some of her new words/phrases are: outside, Sister (sounds more like sissa), it ready (referring to her food), all done, paw paw, doggy, booger (got to love that one), I see you, peepye...I know there more but I can't think of them.

-She LOVES to eat!  She loves to snack even more!  The child will just finish dinner and be in the pantry trying to get something else out!  She has found a love for Krispy Kreme! She knows when we are in the drive thru to get them and whines until she gets some.
 
-She gives lots of looks.  When she sees people she doesn't know, she stares them down.  
She loves to do her fish face. 
-When she hears any music, she immediately is dancing and moving!
