18 months

Half Birthday Girl!

 

At 18 months old:

Ryane weighs 25 lbs, 10 oz (85th percentile)

She is 32 3/4 inches tall ( 77th percentile)

 

Ryane wears size 4 diaper but I'll probably buy size 5 next time. She wears 2T clothes.

Ryane has been napping at 11:00, but now that Cam is done with school I am going to stretch her a little later and see how it goes. She has been sleeping 1.5-2 hours.

Ryane is sleeping better at night and usually puts herself back to sleep if she wakes up crying.

She has been waking up more consistently around 6:30.

Ryane has a lot of new words:

*ugg (hug)

*ack (marker or anything that writes)

*yeah

*oh

*eee awk (jawhawk!)

*poop

*pee pee

*peeeees (please)

*doo dooo (thank you)

*mahmak or mam (Cam)

*lap

*wadur (water)

*ash (trash)

*guck (duck)

*yes

*uh uh (no)

*og (frog)

*she also has a word for swing and slide but I can't remember how she says them

*walk

She is babbling a lot and pretends to talk on the phone.  When you ask her who she is talking to, she always says, "mimi."

She is so sweet.  She loves to walk and hold hands and to give hugs and kisses.  She is seriously just plain sweet.

 

Ryane is still an eater but she does have days now that she is pickier than others or won't eat what I give her. 

 

In the mornings she gets out a bowl from the drawer and takes it in that pantry and points to what she wants (mostly raisins).

 

Ryane is INTO EVERYTHING.  I thought Cam was bad.  Ryane gets into cabinets and drawers that the boys still would never think to!  My house is a wreck ALWAYS.

 

Ryane is walking 100% of the time.  Whew! 

 

She nods her head yes and shakes her head no when you ask her a question. She also answers yeah or uh uh. 

 

Ryane learned how walk down the stairs holding on to the rail.  She can also get down backwards.  

Ryane repeats all the animal names when she plays a game called Peek-a-boo Barn on my phone.

She gives Nic the BIGGEST hug when he gets home from work.

Ryane is a little bit girly!  She loves to wear necklaces, bracelets and scarves.  She loves her purse and carries it around the house with her.

 

She's a little bit girly... but she can definitely hold her own with her brothers.

 

Ryane rocks babies and says "ah ah baby."

 

She also loves animals.  We can't leave the house without her finding that cat and giving him a hug.  

 

Ryane loves to play with Cam on my bed.  They just laugh and laugh. 

 

 

Happy half birthday to the sweetest, smartest, prettiest girl I know!  We love you, Ryane Cate!

Silly girl
