Our big girl had her 18-month birthday last week! She’s growing so fast and her personality is so clear to us. We love her more and more each day. We thank the Lord for entrusting her to us!

Here are some recent pictures:

• she walks all the time now, sometimes getting into that fast, crazy, out-of-control walk that we expect will precede running
• she flaps her hands a lot when she walks
• she’s still a voracious reader
• she loves bubbles, ceiling fans, and watching her videos
• we’ve discovered that she’s super ticklish above her knees
• she likes to poke me in the belly button
• she likes to play with my elbow when she’s on the changing table
• if given the chance, she’ll snap people’s elastic waistbands (pulling out and letting go)
• she could eat her weight in mandarin oranges
• she’s completely, totally obsessed with socks and shoes.  it’s not unusual for her to be in either just her diaper (when it’s really hot) or in her pajamas with socks and shoes on.  and often she brings me my shoes and makes me put them on.
• she now has two back teeth (on one side)
• she loathes the sound of the packing tape gun with every fiber of her being and cries any time we use it
• she loves opening and closing cabinets and drawers

We love you precious girl!
