18 Months!

Wow--Addie's second year is flying by. Today, she turns 18 months. We had her check-up at the doctor's office and she is doing great. She now weighs 22.6 pounds and is 33 inches long (she is tall for her age!).
Addie has been talking up a storm lately. Some of her favorite new words include "bug," "mango" and "here you go" as she is handing us something. She is still learning new ASL signs almost every day (thank you "Signing Time") and incorporates those into her talking. We like to think that she can communicate pretty well for her age.
She is absolutely obsessed with babies these days...real babies, baby dolls, baby items, etc. Maybe its time to work on a baby brother or sister? ;) For now, we keep her occupied with a multitude of baby dolls. Sometimes, she will try to hold 6 or 7 of them at a time and she wants to take them everywhere. I think it is cute to see her acting so motherly to them.
Here are a few recent pictures from a walk through our neighborhood. We have a neat water fountain and gazebo a few blocks away that we like to walk to. Addie loves to get out and play.
