.:18 Months:.

Reece is officially 18 months today! I can hardly believe it - didn't she just turn one?

She is so full of spunk, personality, and sassy-ness right now! She's learning tons of words, and has become so much more willing to try to say new things. Reece loves to be the center of attention, and is such a cheeseball. She really knows how to work it! The poor girl has had four molars come in in the past couple of weeks, so it's been a little tough but I think we're through the worst of it. She really loves to sing and dance, and we think it's pretty much the cutest thing we've ever seen. We just love our little Reece so much, and we know she's going to be a great big sister! (We're also really looking forward to nursery - church is HARD right now!)

At 18 months Reece doesn't like:

Some words that Reece knows are: hi, bye-bye, night-night, bear, ball, up, cookies, shoes, eyes, ears, nose, mouth, cheeks, mama, dada, baby, Reece, brrrrr, roll over, what's that, no, all done, milk, uh-huh, uh-oh, mmmmm, shhhhh

Some animal sounds that Reece knows are: cat, dog, tiger, cow, snake, bee, owl, horse, pig, duck, monkey, fish

She still knows the same signs as before: more, please, all done, milk - we need to start working on thank you!
