18 Months---Livvy

Livvy turned 18 months on the first.  Her vocabulary has exploded and she knows more words than I can count.  Some of my favorites are: dodurt (yogurt), Wivvy (Livvy), turtle and ho ho (hold).  She is finally starting to periodically put two words together.  If she can't verbalize what she wants she is great at acting it out.  I think we have theater in our future. 

She is constantly on the move.  Her typical "outfit" around the house is her diaper, high heels, a purse and a baby doll.  When she is in pretend zone she is so cute.  She feeds her babies, washes them, talks to them, calls people on the phone and paces back and forth across the tile in her heals.  Hmmm....kind of sounds like me minus the heals. 

Her will has been a bit stronger lately which has resulted in many forms of discipline.  We are all learning. 

She loves to read books.  If you are reading to her on the ground she insists on being physically on you which makes actually reading the words very difficult. 

Sophia and Livvy are really starting to enjoy being silly together.  Livvy is always up for a good time so if Sophia starts being goofy she will immediately jump in.  While they have enjoyed playing together more, they also have their moments of sibling rivalry.  It's good for them both to learn to get along.
