18 Months Old!

Corina's life so far seems to have FLOWN by! I really can't believe my "baby" is 18 months old...even though she sometimes acts like she's 3.

Corina at 18 months:
- weighs 23.6 lbs.
- is 32.5 inches tall.
- has more words than I can keep up with in her vocabulary. She is currently using one word "sentences".
- has almost as many facial expressions as words, and these are used on a daily basis to convey thoughts and emotions better than any true sentence could.
- loves to color! She also really likes other people to color with her.
- is extremely demanding and persistent when she wants something.
- enjoys watching The Wiggles, Barney, Sesame Street, Veggie Tales, Backyardigans, and Yo Gabba Gabba. Her absolute favorite is The Wiggles.
- likes to play tea party, babies, cooking, music, and pretty much any other game Lukas is involved in.
- really enjoys reading, and has started to "tell" the story herself.
- goes to school two days a week and LOVES it!
- is an extremely picky eater. She will eat grilled cheese, PB&J, goldfish, fruit, fruit leather, soy yogurt, mac and cheese, refried beans, any cheese filled pasta, eggs, pizza, and assorted snack foods.
- is very independent, but not afraid to ask for (ok, demand) help when she needs it.
- is very opinionated, and not afraid to tell you what she thinks of your actions. The other day she even told one of her teachers to be quiet when she started reading along with her second teacher. I guess in her mind only one person can read a book.
- enjoys cuddling, but on her terms of course. Whereas Lukas verbally tells you "I love you" throughout the day, she will give out hugs (and sometimes super long cuddles).
- LOVES Lukas!! I absolutely love watching the two of them play together. As with anyone, they have their differences, but the moments of them walking around holding hands or playing so smoothly together are far greater. When I pick her up from school, she will run with the biggest smile on her face to help pick up 'ooKUS'.
- loves her Mommy and Daddy more and more every day!
