Chloe had her 18 month check up last week (a month late) so I decided I would share how much she's grown and changed. She is our constant talker and busy body. She gets into EVERYTHING and has become my little escape artist. It's so hard to go anywhere with her right now, because she just runs off as soon as I turn my attention to something else and she really likes playing hide and seek. She recently learned how to escape her crib and open doors, so bedtime has become more of a challenge. She loves talking too. She can speak in full sentences and even hold a short conversation. Although, she's going through a shy phase right now when it comes to talking, so she has to really warm up to you to really start talking. But I'm really impressed with how much she talks. She is a really fast learner too. She's super quick on picking up new things. She's also really independent. She tries to do everything on her own that she can. She even tries to get undressed and dressed again, along with changing her own diaper. She keeps me really busy!
She is also my little daredevil! She really keeps me on my toes and I have to try to watch her all the time. She just has the sort of attitude that she wants to do everything and anything and it doesn't matter what happens. She just dives into things (sometimes literally). She just loves to have fun!
One of her favorite things right now is to growl. I don't know why, but she loves it! She growls at everything and is so happy doing it. She also loves fighting. She'll get down in a horse stance and just start punching and she'll kick too. We're trying to make sure she only "fights" with her uncles who can take the punch, but she has a blast doing it. She still loves to dance too. Any time a song or some music is playing (that's including me singing) she'll start dancing and sometimes even tries to sing along. It is so cute to watch her bust her moves.
She's also my big helper. She tries so hard to be like a big kid. It's funny to watch her even with kids slightly older than her, because she'll take them by the hand and start leading them somewhere or just try to take care of them. She also loves babies and is very nurturing. While I was watching a friend's baby Chloe tried so hard to help out. She tried to pick him up and hold him, feed him food along with his bottle, she would bounce him in his rocker, she got down on the ground with him to help him with his tummy time, she even tried to entertain him with her dancing and singing. She tried so hard to help out with him, although it was a little less than actually helping but it was really cute to watch her try.
One of her few obsessions right now is her shoes. She loves them! She always has to have her shoes on her, even when she goes to sleep. She even taught herself to put them on and even to thread in the velcro buckle on them. She was really distraught when we were out and her sandal broke. She started to cry and kept repeating "Oh no, my shoe! Mommy, my shoe! Please, my shoe!" as she tried her best to fix it herself. It was so funny and heartbreaking at the same time.
She has grown so much and is doing so many new things even in the short time Jed's been away. We just love her and she keeps us on our toes but also keeps us very entertained.
