Sixteen Months

Evie at sixteen months can be summed up as a little firecracker with major FOMO. 

She still has no stranger danger. I lost track of how many people held her when we were on vacation. She runs up to strangers with a big smile and open arms. She lures them in by waving and blowing kisses. It has become alarming. We have to keep a very close eye on her, especially in busy places like airports.

With that same thought, she has become so quick on her feet! A toddler that loves strangers and running is scary😳 She runs everywhere. I actually have to put forth effort to keep up with her. She still wants to be picked-up constantly, but when she's down, she's running.

She's a great sleeper for us, but refuses to nap at daycare. She usually clocks 12 hours at night (7-7) and takes two naps (1.5 hours) when she's home. At daycare, she seriously naps for 20 minutes😒 Her FOMO kicks into high gear and she wakes before everyone else and waits for them to wake up.

Her vocabulary has really taken off. Here are all of her words...

Mama

Dada

Nana

Bompa (grandpa)

Baba (for baby and bottle)

Ball

Dada (for doggy)

Ruff

Moo

Uh-oh 

Thank you

Peek-a-boo

No, no, no (with a finger shake)

Hi 

Buh-bye

Uppy is the latest word, but we can't figure out what it means (it's not up)

Evie's mouth is full of words and teeth! She just got two canines (top and bottom left) and one molar in the past couple weeks. She only needs two more canines and her second molars to complete her set of baby teeth.

This girl won't stop growing! She had a check-up on Monday and she's now 90th percentile for height (2' 8.4") and weight (26 lbs 3 oz)! She's always been 50th percentile so that was a shock.

Evie is obsessed with doggies, climbing (on everything), chocolate milk and her pink tricycle. We have to point out every dog we see on our walks. She has finally worked up the courage to start petting the dogs. She has also started crying next to her pink trike every night until we take her for a walk with it. It's pretty annoying and I blame Brady's brother because this was Christmas gift from them.
