Today is Fiona's 18 month birthday. As of tomorrow, she is closer to 2 years old than she is to 1 year old--oh my! It isn't so surprising really. She has become such a big girl. Her vocabulary is growing like crazy. Some of her favorite words are no, up, down, cookie, bowl, coffee, paci(fier), and nuts (actual nuts--not "aw, nuts"). She is also becoming an animal expert and knows a lot of the animal noises, although her meow sounds more like moo. Fi is also finding new fun games. Recently, she has enjoyed running the obstacle course around the ottoman, under my legs over her chair and around she goes; she gets a big kick out of when I have the blanket since she has to go under my legs and the blanket. She has a little mind of her own too. Until this weekend when I tricked her into the jacket shown, she refused to wear it. I still haven't been able to get her to wear any shoes but her Sperry's but she did wear socks finally (phew, it was going to be a rough winter otherwise)!
