Molly 18 months

It is hard to believe Molly is already 18 months old.  She is such a fun loving and strong willed little girl.  She is still weighing in at around 21lbs, but is one strong cookie.  Quinn is beginning to learn that Molly can fight back and enjoys the thrill in hearing Quinn shriek when her hair is pulled.  She is wearing a size 4 diaper, size 4.5-5 shoe size and 18 month clothing.  She is smiling often and is now joining Quinn with daily singing and dancing performances.  She still prefers to spin in circles and laughs when she runs into walls.

Foods: she is our best eater these days and is trying anything, which is a big change from just a month ago. Her favorite requests are cookie and milk. She gets so excited when we give her food and her eyes and mouth get really wide and she says welcome, Mommy.  She has gotten in the habit of hearing us say, "say thank you," so she thinks she is supposed to always respond with your welcome.

Dislikes:  having people see her poop (her favorite hiding spot is behind a chair in our family room, she's so clever),  her seat belt, naps, sharing, and any time her sister is taking something of hers or tormenting her in some way.  

Loves: kissing, trying to get a hold of Quinn's lipgloss and applying it generously, sometimes eating it,train set, and animals. She has unfortunately rediscovered the paci after a bout of sickness. She calls it her ha ha.
She loves baths and tries to stand at every chance she gets. She also likes to wash Quinn's back and Quinn is really good about allowing her (which is quite a miracle). She wants to do anything Quinn can do and likes reading books and pointing to shapes and counting.  She is developing a sense of humor too and loves to get us laughing with her funny expressions and noises.

She loves chatting and is speaking is 3-4 word sentences.  Sometimes she is gibbering away in her own baby language and we would love to know all of what she is trying to express. Some of her favorite words these days are: uh oh, all done, more please, no touch, tree pretty, shoes on, silly mommy, I sorry (sounds like I suey), no Quinn (she can say that clear as day),  I wash,  I have poopy,  look, bath, what is that, here mom, um okay, hold me, baby, please cookie, and oh my gosh.

Typical Molly move. She gets herself suspended on a chair and then can't figure out how to get down. She says, "careful Mommy, careful."

She loves sitting at her big girl chair to eat snacks, play tea party and color.

Molly is often seen running up and down the hallway pumping her arms quickly or
straightening them behind her back as if she is flying

She loves her apples.
