Amelia at 16 months

I just read through my 14 month Amelia post and cannot belive how much she has changed in such a short time! For one, the crawling days are long behind us. She does not walk, but runs most places she wants to go! She is also verbalizing more and more. She can say mommy, daddy, apple, bath, bottle, cherrios, uh oh among other things. Those are by far the words we hear the most! ;) I am still amazed at her level of comprehension. I can communicate with her a good deal by asking questions and her responding with ah (yes) and a shake of the head. I love that I can ask her to go get her baby or another toy and she will do it. She still just loves her daddy and they have the best time playing ever evening and then during bath time. I love hearing them play as I clean up the kitchen each night. Nap time has really improved recently. After lunch I tell Amelia it is nap time and take her to her room where she will lay her head on my shoulder for a few minutes while I sing her a song and then lay her in her crib. She still cries some days, but most days she goes right to sleep or plays a little first.



Amelia has really made some progress with food as well. Some of her favorites are waffles, apples, carrots, vegetable soup and soy cheese. She does love to eat! I really enjoy this stage as she is so much more of a little person. I enjoy that we are able to communicate and play together.
These are fun days with my little girl!
