All Because Two People Fell In Love: 18-19 Months

Annabelle had her 18 months check up on December 29. And I know I'm just putting it up but a lot has been going on the last few weeks. She is growing great! We never have any big concerns to talk with the Doctor about. She's still in the process of being potty trained. She'll now tell us when she needs to go but when she gets there it takes her a little longer to get it all out. But we are still working on it and in no rush. I see that she's learning something new every day. She loves books! We always read to her at night before bed and then in the morning she'll grab those books and want to read them right when she wakes up. I hope she has a thirst for knowledge and books. She is talking so well! She'll always ask "Where's ....?" She'll through in there Aunt Lori, Momo, Josie or Jojo, Ogie, Papa, and anyone else that she loves and learned over the holiday! Her list is long so she'll go though it and ask about EVERYONE!! But she's great. She listens really well to (at times). She's been a big help to me. It's hard for me to pick up things so if i ask her to get it nine times out on ten she will. We know to say "Please" for things and now we got down "Thanks You" when someone does it. I am so proud of our little booger-butt! (That's just a nickname I've given her. She's always had allergies like me so her nose will periodically run - hence the name) She did get her first flu shot this visit and now I think that's why her nose is running like crazy. She's great with letting me blow it. I've taught her to "blow" and I'll wipe it. I'll tell her to "Take a breath" then we'll "blow again" and wipe it and we are done! If I don't tell her to breathe she would keep holding her breath and freak out like i was suffocating her. But now I can say lets blow your nose and she'll come right over and let me. I think she knows her nose is running and does not like it.
