My 18 Month Old

My baby is 18 months old today and what a girl she is. I love more and more everyday. I didn't even know that was possible. And I love it.  My favourite thing lately is that Alexys is learning to talk more and more everyday.  She is picking up words here and there and it's adorable. My frustrating point (for me) is that she doesn't like to repeat words, LOL - she'll say something and then not again...and never says words on commands.

Alexys' vocabulary list now consists of the following words:
  • Moo (she said it multiple times this morning while doing a cow puzzle with me). 
  • Ple (please...while trying to get past the baby gates at my parents). 
  • Nanite - first at my mom's yesterday and then again today for nap time. 
  • See ya - this is her favourite. Everything is see ya. When you turn off the TV, stop brushing your teeth, leave the room, open the door...sometimes it's even see ya bye. 
  • Meommy (mommy...she sounds Asian when she says it). 
  • Daddy (though she must be mad at him, because she doesn't say it much). 
  • Auntie (but seemingly on in regards to Jackie and no other aunties). 
  • Mor (more...but rarely). 
  • Marney (Barney)
  • Wigwa (Wiggles)
  • Upty (This means both pick me up as well as put your hand up there and get me...whatever it is she wants. She'll point to her DVD or juice or cell phone or whatever and say upty.)
  • Happy - Different from upty. Generally it's when she's been whining for a show and we put it on. She's said it multiple times. She looks right at you and says Happy. 
  • Wassa (what's that?)...at least I'm pretty sure that's what she's saying.
 I think that about covers it. They say 18 words by 18 months that Mom and Dad can understand, but Alexys definitely communicates and makes herself known so I'm not worried - I'm just a perfectionist and would have liked her talking at 10 months like my little brother. Haha.

Nah. That's Alexys for ya - she's her own little girl with overflowing personality...and she just wouldn't be her if she did things my way ;)

Happy 1/2 Birthday Little Girlie :)

It's funny how you can love each stage they get to a little more than the last.
