16 Month Update

Miss Sadie is 16 Months today. She is true toddler through and through! She surprises me every day with the new things she learns. She loves helping out and if I point to an object and ask her to put it somewhere(I point again), she will! She loves putting her dirty clothes in the hamper. I try hard to remember to let her help, even if things take twice as long.

She LOVES animals. She is all about making animal sounds lately and started say them one day out of the blue! I had no idea she knew so many! She knows: Duck(her favorite), Snake, Elephant(she loves to lift her arm up with this one), Horse, Lion, Dog, Cat, Chick, Bird, and Sheep. She also knows that a train goes "choo chop" and calls Santa "Ho Ho Ho." She says "dada" all the time and loves to say "gigi" but I hardly ever get a "mama" unless she is upset. She also says "Thank you" in the sweetest way possible that melts my heart. She can count to six, and at one time I thought she wasn't sure what she was doing, until a few days a go when she handed me pieces of her toast one by one counting. She loves to wave and say "bye bye" and will say it to anyone we see out.

She is starting to listen more and I try to praise her each time she does. She loves seeing all the Christmas trees. I can't wait to see how she reacts to opening gifts this year.

Sadie is in 18 month clothes (although some are still a little big) and moved up to size 4 diapers. She wears a toddler 5 in shoes.

She is getting good at the playground. The swing is still her favorite, followed by the tunnel, stairs, and she is getting better at the slide.

She gives the best kisses and hugs now. I love snuggling with her. We have such much  going on in our lives right now, I feel like time is just flying by and she is growing way to fast. I want time to just stand still this Christmas.

Bath Time- this is still one of her favorites and it's her daddy/daughter time. 

Playing with stickers after the bath. 

At the Mall visiting the North Pole. She was mesmerized by the train. 

Saying "All Done" when she finished her food. 

Playing outside on a beautiful day. 

Running in the yard. 

She can climb into her tricycle on her own now. She loves it. 

She loves to climb up onto the couch and watch TV.
