Because I'm a mother of 2 and trying to be fair.

After I posted Audrey's 18 month post, I looked back at Genny's 18 month old post.  And I realize I might should have included a little more info... just so that when she looks back it's fair.  See, I'm trying.

So at 18 months, Audrey is 19 pounds and 30 inches tall.  And wiry.  And tough!

She loves to climb and is quickly approaching something that could be called running.  Or quick walking.

Audrey has a favorite word.  It's "dog".  We hear it all day every day.  For instance, here's a lesson on animals by Audrey:

This is a dog.  "dog!"

"dog."

This is a "dog" as well.

Another "dog."

"dog....."

undeniably a "dog...."

Now these?  Depends on the day.  Usually "dog" occasionally "cat"

pretty much everything is a dog. But now if you tell her "cat" she will agree to it and repeat "cat". 

Before she would just scream "DOG" louder at you until she bends your will to hers and you admitted that yes, it is a dog. Even though it's not. There is a large picture of a cat over the pet food aisle in walmart, and we've had many arguments loudly. "DOG!" No, that's a cat. Me-yow. "DOOOOGGG!" No, cat. Cat. Cat. "DDDDDOOOOOOOGGGGGG!!" (Now people are staring.) It's a cat. Meeee--yow. cat! DDDDDOOOOGGGGGGG! Fine. It's a dog. Woof.

Audrey also likes to say "baby" "juice" "hi" "mama" "dada" "water" "bottle" "diaper" etc.  

Things Audrey likes:  

carrying around a baby, bottle, diaper bag and blanket.  And a cell phone.  Where might she have learned that?

She likes to color.  She likes music.  She likes her big girl bed a lot.  She loves her blankies that she's had since she was born.  She likes to watch "Yo Gabba Gabba" which I think is awful beyond tolerance.  But sometimes a girl has to get the kitchen cleaned, which is when we bring in DJ Lance and his odd group of characters.....

She loves going outside and being able to putter around on her own without anyone else bugging her.  I think we have an introvert here.  

Alright, now I feel better.
