Milestone

Lavender is now officially 16.5 months!

What do you mean that's not a milestone?  Okay, I agree.  But I am actually blogging, so that counts as a milestone!

Here's the latest on our little girl:

Signs:  More, Please, All done

Diet:  Good eater, likes almost everything.  We've taken her off of dairy because of eczema.

Talents: Blowing kisses, making animal noises (the monkey is my favorite)

Personality:  Very outgoing and loves to wave and say "hi" to friends, family and strangers.  Not scared by most loud noises.  Usually happy, but lets out an ear-piercing scream when she's not.

Favorites:  Music of all kinds. Playing with shoes. Being outside and listening to the birdies.  Loves the beach and the ocean.  She puts her face in the water and likes to sit down and feel the tide pull against her.  She fearlessly runs into the surf.
