18 months

A snapshot of Brooke at 18 months old

Weight: 25 lbs (60%)
Height: 32.5 inches (75%)

Favorite Toy: pink guitar, push toys outside, really anything that Jaelyn & Ben are playing with. 
Fascinated by: his big sister, cars & trucks, fire in the free-standing stove to name a few.
Loves: books, running laps with the kids around the house, sitting at the art table eating her snack (& it must be out of a bowl...like her older siblings!), getting into the pantry (UGH!), playing outside, dancing when the music is on, climbing up on anything.  She loves to pull her chair up to the kitchen counter to see what's going on, but then also create a mess!
Latest Skill learned:  hmm....probably pushing her chair up to the kitchen counter to "see" what Mommy is doing, but to also reach things that Mommy has placed "out of reach" of Brooke.  (Ugh...what a pain!  I've resorted to putting the art chairs on the table so she won't push them!)
Latest Words spoken: "hi daddy" - so cute to hear her string a couple words together!  It's so fun to hear all the new words she is saying each day, practically!  So fun to "talk" with her!
Favorite Books: I am a bunny, The very busy spider & the number board book/abc board book because of the animals.  LOVES to read books & mimic what Jaelyn does.
Hates: brushing her teeth (however it's getting a little better!), taking Tylenol...she now has learned how to spit it all out (grr!), getting her finger nails cut, diaper changed, sitting in her booster seat at the table - she would rather kneel in a big girl chair.
Favorite Foods: smoothies, spaghetti, bagels/cream cheese, apples, grapes, crackers, cookies, peanut butter on toast, green beans, ice cream, mac n cheese, yogurt
Teeth: 8 on top, 8 on bottom (the last teeth have finally popped thru the gums...PTL!)
