Happy 18th Month Birthday!

I can't believe my little baby girl just turned 18 months yesterday. I am so glad that I get to stay home with you and watch you grow and learn more everyday. You are such a sweet (and sometimes stubborn) little lady, and I couldn't imagine loving you more.
Your favorite games right now are:
Playing with Mommy's jewelry (I think you may have broken half of my necklaces and swiped most of my bracelets). You HAVE to wear at least three bracelets at all times and sometimes you have up to 10 on each arm..so funny! You also love to carry three purses at a time too. You hold your little arm up while carying your purse..just like Mommy. Sometimes you'll even chat on your phone to Daddy while carrying all of your many accesssories.
You also love playing with Mommy's makeup. So far I've caught you with an orange face covered in my bronzer and also covered in black eyeliner. I've had to hide my make up from you for now and swap it out for pretend makeup since you've decided it's a fun game to hide all of Mommy's new makeup. It's been over a week, so I guess I should consider all of my new makeup a loss...stinker...
You love to sort things. You sort your bracelets, your kitchen toys and your books. Maybe you're going to be organized like me.
You love to pretend cook and walk around stirring your bowl. You even "taste" what you're cooking and give it a "Yumm" everytime.
You are a little monkey and love to climb. This is one of your less than cute traits...your only one. You climb on everything....and I do mean everything. We've had to hide your rocking chair, put up your TCU camping chair, put our kitchen table chairs in the garage and the coffee table is in the guest room with the door shut.
You love to color and paint. You are still tempted to take a bite of the crayons here and there, but you do a great job coloring.
Dance Dance Dance! You are a dancin' fool and love to hear music. You throw your head back and forth and side to side and bounce up and down. We love to watch you dance!
We took you to the zoo for the first time, and you were memorized by the animals. I wasn't sure if you wold pay attention or not, but you certainly did...to every animal that we saw! You did so good and didn't complain about missing your nap or being out in the sun. You fell asleep before we even left the parking lot on the way home.
You are a chatter box and can say so many words:
Mama
Dadda (you know Daddy's jeep when he pulls in the driveway and yell Daddy! and run to the backdoor)
Mamaw
Mimi
Papa
Puppy
Emmy (poor Emmy. You walk around saying 'No Emmy!'...I guess I say that too often)
Teddy
Water
Cheese
Cheetos
Yes
No
Hold On (you told me to hold on the other day...nice)
Up
Nite Nite
Grapes
Moo
All Done
Please
Yummy
Muah (you love to blow kisses and to plant big kisses on us when we least expect it)
Bows
Birdies (every morning you watch all of the birds in our backyard while you eat breakfast. You say chirp chirp!)
Ball
Nana (banana)
Green
TeeTee (one of those words I wish you wouldn't have caught on to when I said it)
Boobie (definitely another word that I wish you wouldn't have heard) :)
You can say and point to your: eyes, nose, ears, toes, mouth and belly button.
