16 months…going on 16

16 months!  I cannot believe it! The older you get, the faster time goes by. I am only running 4 days late on this…but none the less!  The past month has been a bit of a blur with all of your illnesses. You have been one sick little kiddo since 2013 began. It started with the ear infections, 15 month shots (they didn’t make you sick-but I still feel sad you have to get them!), RSV with hospitalization, more infections and to top it all off you most likely had pneumonia along with a really nasty throat virus. BUT…you are healthy now and we are taking full advantage of it! 

We took you down-hill skiing today, and you LOVED it!  You were such an awesome kiddo today. We got up to Bridger around 9:45ish, probably skiing by 10:15 and you skied until 11:45 NON-STOP…you kept signing “more” along with saying it! We went in and had lunch and we were back on the slopes- OK…Snowflake-the bunny hill- around 1 and skied for another hour!  We stopped, thinking that you were tired and would need a nap, so we headed home. You only napped on the ride back home- and were back to bouncing off the walls till 8pm and then you CRASHED! Let me tell you, your dad and I had NO IDEA that skiing on Snowflake would be so much fun!  We had such a great day with you!

Your vocabulary continues to grow. Some words you have added this month off of the top of my head include: poo (for Pooh Bear), milk (and you are even getting the k sound), up, elp (for help),, hot, ubble (for bubbles), I do, and there are many more, but I just can’t think of them right now.

You are kissing now, which is so much fun. You give everything kisses, but you really enjoy giving kisses to Maggie (and Maggie is even tolerating you giving them to her)! It is nice to get a kiss from you with puckered lips versus open mouth with drool! Winking smile 

Hadley you bring SOOO much laughter to our lives, I have no idea what we would do without you!  Only you can make me laugh in the middle of the night and also make me so frustrated at the same time. I am not sure I want to share this story…but here goes anyways…you felt that it was time to be awake from 3-5 am the other morning. I am up in your room holding you and you are poking at my eyes and nose, persistently asking for milk (which I keep telling you NO), and you are wide awake. I tell you “Hadley, it is night time, you need to go nigh-night.” You close your eyes and have them closed for about 10 minutes. I release a toot, and you immediately laugh at me. Not a minute goes by and then you toot, and laugh even harder at yours. Needless to say, I couldn’t keep it together!  I was dying! I guess you are my daughter!

16 months (oh…and you are in love with Elmo currently)
