The Al Pal at 18 Months

I can't believe that Allie is already 18 months. This is such a fun/hard age.

• She LOOOOVES puppies. Puppies are her world. She watches for them everywhere we go. When we are playing outside and she hears one bark she stops and says "oh puppy". She has to stuffed puppies that she sleeps with and would prefer are by her at all times. When we have been gone for a couple hours and we got home she walks up to her puppies and hugs them and gives them a million kisses. 
• Her words: mommy, dad, puppy, bye, go, oh, mine, more, got it, uh oh, no, puppy, she barks like a dog, and she quacks like a duck, hi, baby, Weee when she is swinging 
• She doesn't talk a lot and wont really say anything on command but those are the words we do hear pretty often. Not sure if she is slow or stubborn :) 
• She tells me to "shhhh" by putting her figure up to her mouth.
• She blows kisses to puppies and pictures of Jesus.
• Her favorite foods: any and all fruit especially oranges, mac and cheese, toast with butter, fruit snacks, cucumbers, pasta, any kind of mexican food, french fries, gold fish
• She wont eat ANY meat right now it is really frustrating. She wont drink milk. She wont eat most desserts
• We have such a climber on our hands. She thinks she is fine and can climb on any play structure. She gets on our kitchen table like 200 times a day. She climbs on tables, couches, and benches at church. If she can climb on it she will try.
• We spend a lot of time outside. She loves to play outside. When we walk out she points to the sky all the time. 
• She knows where her nose and belly button are (we are working on the rest of the body parts haha)
• She dances to music.... but not when you tell her too.
• I have the best sleeper. Still usually 12 hours at night and a 2 hour nap in the day.
• Allie is obsessed with the beach/pool/splash pads has absolutely no fear. She thinks she can swim in the ocean with big waves by herself. Another girl age that we play with sometimes is usually saying "yuckie toes cold" while Allie is diving in. 
• She is really really bad at church :)
• She is a professional fit thrower.
• My baby will still snuggle me.
• She loves babies. Tries to get all up in the business. Gives her baby doll kisses all the time.
