18 months old!

My girl turned a year and a half old on June 9. WHAT?! I feel like everyday I look at her and she just looks bigger. Says more. Seems smarter. It's insane.
Eleanor Claire is simply amazing. I absolutely love that she's talking so early because the insights into her little brain are nothing short of awesome. She's full of energy, and will tell you exactly what she thinks, wants, and needs. She's basically talking in full sentences at this point (toddler style - we're obviously lacking some finer grammar points)!

She loves swimming and music class, and she loves the ladies at the gym daycare (and talks about them all the time). She loves books and her legos. She adores her baby dolls, and as other posts have indicated, is obsessed with the new indoor play place at the PV Mall. She literally talks about the "shopping carts" and "baby doll strollers" (two toys they have there) every.single.day.

She loves all berries, chick peas, cheese, scrambled eggs, yogurt and crackers. Still hates veggies.

She's still an excellent sleeper - we have SO lucked out in this department - sleeping from around 7:30 to 6:30, and usually taking a 2+ hour nap in the afternoon.

She's a lover - she's super snuggly and loves to hug. She's a little wary in a room full of new people, but as long as mom and/or dad seem fine, within 10 minutes she's working the room, making everyone smile. Her pigtails are her signature, and get tons of comments.

She is our Bug, and we couldn't love her more. What a joy to get to be her mommy.

We had our 18 month check up today, and the Dr. was super impressed with her verbal skills (not surprising), was not concerned about how few teeth she has, and suggested we start thinking about a training potty, especially given how much she seems to comprehend. Given that she has started telling me when she's pooping (sometimes it's true and sometimes not) and asks to sit on the toilet, I think this is an excellent idea. Oh Lord are we already entering the messy world of potty training?!

Her stats from her appt today are below:
Height: 32.25" (64%)
Weight: 22.12 pounds (52%)
Teeth: all 4 molars, the two bottom center, and all 4 top center are just starting to push through. FINALLY! The kid's growing her teeth! ;)
