16 months (and a couple days)

Oh Critter Girl! Mommy forgot to post about your 16th month birthday. I didn't forget the day itself, and did wish you a happy day on the 10th, but still. Mommy's mind is slipping. That's my only excuse.

Anyway, let's see what went on this month!

Sick! Good lordie girl, this was the month of sick. You had ever virus under the sun. One after the other. You were not always your cheerful self, but who could blame you? Fevers, rashes, stuffies - you had it all. I know you need to be exposed to these illnesses, you need to build up immunity so you are not sick all the time hen you start school, but wow. All in a month? Let's space it out more next time, ok?

Baby Signing Time!! OMG, you suddenly LOVE you some BST. I've showed it to you off and on for months with mixed results, but suddenly this month, you are captivated. You had already picked up a few signs from me, and honestly, you speak most of the words you are learning signs for, but you still love love love to watch "Baby". Which you ask for by saying and signing baby. It is so cute. I really think you just like the songs and seeing lots of pictures of kids and babies. We've gotten 4 of the videos, I think #2 might be your favorite. For now.

Climbing up! You've gotten much better at climbing up stairs. At home, at the park. You are much better at this. You still are unsure about this whole down the stairs stuff, and need help and reminding to step down. But up? You got it down pat.

Happy 16th months, sweetest of all Critter Girls! I love you so very truly much.
