* she is so independent.  she is constantly testing that and wants to do everything everyone else is doing.  she has quite the opinion.

* she is constantly running, playing and climbing all over everything.  she has bumps and bruises to prove it.  she is SO stubborn and no matter how many times she falls she continues to climb.  i am so glad she hasn't discovered she could climb out of her crib. 

* she loves playing with other kids. big or small.  she is super easy going and content while she is playing.  

*she still naps pretty well and i am hoping that stays around for a long while. she will nap anywhere from 1-3 hours and will sleep anywhere from 10-12 hours a night. 

*her vocabulary and understanding of things grows daily.  by far her favorite word is no.  she says it all day long to everyone and everything. my favorite is when she gets hurt she will tell whatever hurt her "NO, NO, NO". 

*she has become a picky eater.  some of her favorites are cherry tomatoes, raspberries  strawberries, fruit snacks and french fries.  she also loves drinks of any kind.  

* she still takes a bath twice a day.  she is my child.

*everything is a phone to her.  she walks around talking to herself most of the day.  

* she loves loves loves babies.  whenever she sees a carseat she has to take a look at the baby.   hopefully this phase sticks around for another month or so.
