18 Months Already

I can’t believe my baby girl is already 18 months old.  She is growing up so fast!  Her latest stats:

Height:  33 inches (75-90%)   Weight:  25.8 lbs (50-75%)

She’s mastered all of the milestones for this age, and even exceeded some (she has 35+ words).  I can’t even begin to sum up all that she is doing.  She is literally a whirlwind.  I call her Hurricane Mattie.  She leaves destruction everywhere she goes.  She loves to dump every puzzle and game she can get her hands on.  Just recently she has started to clean up a little of what she dumps, while singing the“ean up” song.  She LOVES the Wiggles, and “cock doo” is her new favorite word.  When we get in the car she asks for the Captain Feathersword song by saying “cack cack cock doo.”  In August, we are going to go see the Wiggles in Houston with Cousin Sarah, Aunt Chey, and Grandma.  We can’t wait! 

She loves to be outside.  She loves to climb.  Like her mommy, she loves carbs, mashed potatoes and pancakes are her favorites.  She’s always after a “nack” (snack).  She loves to dance by spinning in circles.  She loves to splash big in the bathtub.  And most of all she LOVES her brothers.  If she comes across one of them laying on the floor, she will flop on top of them.  They love to make her laugh, and she loves to laugh at them.  She loves to find her “da da” in pictures.  On Mother’s Day, I picked her up from her classroom at church, and she immediately started asking for Daddy!

As you can see, when she smiles, it lights up her entire face.  I love her big hugs and open-mouth kisses.  I love her beautiful brown eyes, her chubby legs, and her big belly.  I love the way she throws her blanket and puppy into her bed, and then dives after them.  I love that my mom says that looking at her is like looking at a “little Brandy.”  I’ve put a picture below of me around this age.  What do you think?
