.:Remi - 16 Months:.

Oh, my little Rem-A-Lem.

Remi is turning into such a little girl now. She's definitely losing her baby look and attitude, and it is so fun to watch!

Little Miss started walking right around 15 months. She was taking about 6-10 steps at a time, so I was thinking she'd be walking in a couple of weeks from then. But she decided it was time to walk, and just started doing it on our vacation in Oregon and hasn't stopped since! I guess sometimes the late bloomers don't have as much of a learning period; they just up and do it! It's been really fun to watch how it's changed the way she and Reece play and interact. It's definitely opened up a new world for them, and I love it!

Remi has definitely developed quite the attitude lately. She throws tantrums when she doesn't get her way, and has no problem letting you know when she's not happy. I'm hoping this phase will pass quickly, because it is seriously doing me in lately! Although she's got the tantrum thing going on these days, she also has some cute personality quirks, too! My favorite one is this cheesey face. She does it all the time, and just knows she's being totally silly. So cute!

Remi has taken quite a few spills in the past few months. There have been three separate times where she bloodied up her mouth significantly, and we can now add some scrapes to the list. She fell on some stairs outside at a friends house, and scraped up her forehead, nose, upper lip, and chin. You can kind of see it all in some of these pictures. There is also a large scratch on her side, from the same fall. I didn't expect her to have so many casualties (although, so far, nothing has compared to Reece's black eye) but she seems to be racking them up quickly these days!

Along with the spills has been the teething. Poor Remi only seems to teeth in groups! She got about 5 teeth around Christmas, and then didn't get any for the longest time. Her four molars just came in last month, and now she's working on the last four teeth before we get a break until her two year molars. She still doesn't handle teething well, but can you blame her? Getting multiple teeth at a time can't feel too great!

Remi is now sharing a room with Reece! It is fabulous! They sleep together for naps and night time. They definitely have some play time in there before they fall asleep, but it is fun to listen to them giggling and playing in there. We often have to go in and remove about 5 books and 5 toys from Remi's crib once they are asleep; apparently Reece doesn't want Remi to get bored in there! It's so nice having them in there together, and they really love being together.

At 16 months, Remi likes:

- blowing kisses

- climbing

- eating

- treats

- baths

- books

- walking!

- following Reece around

- pushing things (i.e. walker, cart)

- zhu-zhu pet

- milk

- being independent

- suckers

At 16 months, Remi doesn't like:

- diaper changes (hello thrashing!)

- teething (to be fair, all of us hate it when she's teething!)

- being carried around outside

- being in the cart/stroller, etc.

- floating in the swimming pool (crazy!)

Remi is just such a sweetheart, and I feel like a million bucks when she reaches for me with a smile on her face. I can't believe she isn't going to be my baby for much longer!
