Kyla at 18 Months

I can't believe my baby is now a toddler who will be two before I know it!

She's been getting into imaginary play lately.  She started by feeding her dolls and animals (and me, of course!).  She then moved on to putting us all to sleep.  They put her on a mat at daycare and will pat her to sleep if necessary.  After she gets a good dose of this, she likes to bring it home and try it on us all.

I picked up a couple new toys this month to try to encourage her with this type of play - and to maybe give her a playmate besides me:)

Here she is playing with her new Weebles house.  She was playing like such a big girl, putting them in their chairs and making them go down the slide.  You may note that she is not wearing pants.  I was not allowed to put them back on after her nap - that is, until about an hour later when they were presented to me for assistance.  This girl knows just what she wants!

         

I got her this little purse for the same reason.  It holds pretend accessories like lipstick and a mirror.  She's been all over it. 

Now take a look at this ornery face and tell me that we don't have trouble on our hands!  She looks like she's up to something! She insisted on taking the "cellphone" from her purse everywhere.

Other new stuff so far this month - we are officially off the bottle.  I had been holding on to half bottle at night and before some naps but started getting the feeling that she wasn't real into it anymore.  I didn't want to make a change to our routine with Brent still gone, but it went well.  I switched to a sippy cup, and she never looked back. 


Trouble!

I have a small table and chairs coming for her.  I think she'll enjoy eating her snacks on it and using it for artwork.  They eat at a regular table and chair at daycare, so she tries to copy that here.  She likes to climb up on things to eat.  She climbed up here to share a snack with her buddy Chovie.  She's still doing well with the cats - although I'd kinda like to see them move out of the way a little quicker!  Speed it up, girls!
