Sixteen Months Old

Sixteen Months Old - September 23, 2011



A couple of weeks ago my sweet girl turned 16 months. I have looked at Caroline more times this past month and thought that she looked like such a big girl. I keep forgetting she's a toddler and not a little baby! Her understanding of things has increased exponentially! I can say any of the following and she will follow directions:

Take this to daddy/mommy
Throw this away
Time for lunch/dinner/snack
Do you want water/milk? (She will shake her head yes or no)
Give that to mommy/daddy
Where's daddy?
Let's go outside/to your room
Time to go (She'll go to the door)
Let's read. (She'll pick out a book)


She's not speaking as much but she's trying to vocalize so much more! She can say yes, no, go, mama, dada, Daisy. She says something that sounds like "ooshta" all the time. She is always pointing to something when she says it so I'm pretty sure she's asking "What's that?" She'll also say "Who dat?" when pointing at people. Other things she can say: Ti Woo (Roll Tide), di di (bye bye), di di di (bye bye diaper), mememe (Mimi), oh, okay, whoa (she says that when she drops something). We'll have a little talker on our hands in no time!!

She loves taking showers, going outside, playing with her doll, looking at books, putting bowls on her head - but not hats or bows or anything that actually belongs on her head, riding in the car, swinging, watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and Choo Choo Soul, closing doors and drawers, and singing. She's such a joy to watch and we are having so much fun!

Happy 16 months sweet Caroline! You are growing up into such a fun, smart, beautiful little girl and I love every second that I am with you. We love you more than you will ever know!! I am so proud to be your mommy!
