17 months

17 months old, where has the time gone?
My little monkey is definitely not so little anymore. She is a crazy little drunken disaster most of the time. She falls, seems to bounce right off the floor and is back on her feet before you know it!
She loves her books, her dolls, and lately "Daisy". She says daisy for all the night garden people. It's hilarious. She is just go-go-go, all the time!
Her best friend is definitely Gwen, who is so tolerant and puts up with much hair pulling and jumping on. She lets Audra take the toys and throw them, and both chase after them, neither really aware of how a game of fetch should go! Audra flops down on Gwen's bed and belly, and the poor dog just takes it. She is so gentle and we are forever grateful that this beast of a dog is so good with her. Now if we could only get Gwen to stop crashing into Audra and knocking her over, it would be great!
My little dear who peels off expensive wallpaper, and we have had to switch the crib around. Who keeps growing and amazing her momma of what kind of clothes she can fit into now. I still think everything will be too big! When she started out so small, she has definitely grown into her own. The attic is filling up with boxes and totes of clothes that are far too small now. The baby fat is slowly disappearing, as she fills out, and grows.
She has such a little personality. You know when she doesn't like something, and can be very stubborn. Hmm.. wonder who she gets that from? Maybe both mom and dad! She always wakes up happy and even though it's not always appreciated at 630am, there's nothing like hearing someone shouting "da-da, ma-ma!" into the monitor!
The hugs are priceless, the slobbery kisses, so worth it, and even though some days are challenging, they are SO worth. Love you little monkey, more then you know!!!!!
