16 months--





Niana will be 16 months on Nov 24th. Here are some updates...

1. Her hair is really long and in her face. She sometimes will look like Pebbles from the
Flinstones.

2. She now has almost 8 teeth. She has four on top, the two middle on the bottom, and the two next to those are slowly creeping in.

3. She has found the word "No" and the word "MINE". I think maybe she found them at daycare because we haven't lost those words at home.

4. She kisses her baby (and mommy and daddy) night-night.

5. She eats at the big kid table at daycare and sleeps on a cot at daycare. (We still have her caged in a crib at home).

6. Some words she utters when she feels like it:
  • mama
  • dadada (or da-yee) but if asked to say dada-- she responds with mama-- very cute!
  • Coco-- the dog at daycare
  • ah-ble which means apple
  • byeeeee or yahbyahbe when she screams it to the kids at daycare
  • hyeeee (hi)
  • dankyuu-- Thank you
  • peeese - please -- most often in use with sign language please
  • mo -- more -- also in use with sign language more
  • pu-- is really up, but only when asked to say up to get up
  • woo-woo is still woof woof
  • moo
  • baaa
  • la, la, la-- is what three singing pigs say
  • qua- quak is what a duck says

7. She loves to sit and look at books, color, and watch tv (especially football).

8. She can open doors, sit on the potty (just for fun--not going), and loves to slide.

WOW- what a big girl!
