18 Months and Oh So Cute

Noelle is 18 months old and oh so cute! This little girl is a crack up, full of personality. We had the missionaries over for dinner on Sunday, and she was too busy flirting with one of the elders to even eat her dinner. This girl definitely has a mind of her own.

Last night we had special french toast with a yummy homemade strawberry sauce. Noelle decided to eat her strawberry sauce first, and was upset that I wouldn't just give her more. She was throwing a huge fit, so I told her that was a face only a mommy could love and got my camera out. At first, she didn't know what to think...
Eventually I had her giggling and making lots of different faces. Silly girl!

Yesterday she had her (late) 18 month appointment. Here are her stats:

Weight: 22 pounds!!! (She had quite a growth spurt and is now not only ON the chart, but now 20% for weight! Good girl!!!)

Height: 31-3/4" (50% for height!)

Hat Size: 19" (80% for head, but I don't think she looks like she has a big head... hmmm...)

Favorite Words:

Mommy, Daddy, Melanie, Ariel, Puppy, Help, Drink, Eat, yeah!, Eyes, Hair, Elbow, Ball, Block, Butterfly, Burp Rag, Book, Shoe, Ears, Hands, Feet, Paint, Cake! (She says more things, but those are the things I hear most).
