Annie: Sixteen Months

At sixteen months, Annie is in full-fledged toddler mode. (BUSY) Trying to get her to hold still for these photos was impossible, so we just went with capturing her in motion. She talks all the time, even though we don't understand most of what she is telling us. She obviously understands us--you can ask her to go get something for you (shoes, diaper, cup) and she is happy to oblige. We are learning to identify fruit and letters and it is so much fun to watch her little mind at work! She is also learning to do simple puzzles and loves to sit in her rocking chair and read books. Shape sorters and stacking toys are lots of fun, too. Annie likes her play purse and is starting to carry around a doll or stuffed animal. Still taking two naps a day, can do one but it is hard and Mama has no objections to two naps. :) We dropped one nursing session last week (down to three now) and she has been very displeased. I replaced it with a snack but it takes about 30 minutes to get her out of her grouchy mood. This should get better soon, right? Still being really picky about veggies, getting a little better about meat. And still in 12 month clothes and size 3 diapers.
