Lorelai at 16 Months

Lorelai, sweet little Lorelai....developing quite a spunky personality these days! Love the little whispy curls she is sporting as well! This little peanut is still holding at 19-20 pounds. She eats well- can be picky at times, but what she is choosy about will vary...one day she is refusing avocado and the next she will gobble it up. She is very smart. She understands so much and loves leafing through books and can identify most all animals, body parts, household items, etc. on a page. She is finally sleeping through the night without waking (most nights). She recently has begun throwing temper tantrums when she does not get her way. She loves when Ben picks her up or Abby hugs her- she adores their attention and loves to imitate them. She is getting less upset when I leave for work in the morning, but still quite vocal about her delight when I return! She loves to do what she knows we do not want her to do- ie eat off the floor, hang out in the bathroom I cannot clean fast enough, go in the office and call people on the phone (yes, she has called the last caller back several times...), climb on the kitchen chairs (from which she has fallen more than once...). She likes to be up at the counter when I am making dinner- she is very vocal if she's not involved! She sleeps 12 hours at night and naps for about 1.5 hour at mid-day. She still only has six teeth. Lorelai is very affectionate. She loves nursing, giving hugs and submiting to requests for kisses. She loves Elmo (and it is cute to hear her say "Elmo"), her books, babies, the phone, animals, etc. She loves songs and will start to dance when the music is turned on. She loves when you sing to her, especially Puff the Magic Dragon", ABC song, etc. She does not watch TV (we do not have it on).
