18 months

I can't believe it's been a year and a half since we met our sweet Rebecca!

Everyone comments on how much and how well she talks for 18 months old.  It's hard to keep up with all of her new words, but here are some:

appy=happy
ah-le=waffle
Beppa=Rebecca (she just started saying this today!)
Dee-dee=Rachel
die-die=drive drive (Daddy brought her toy car in the house from the garage and she loves sitting in it, playing drive drive)

I can't think of any more at the moment which I haven't already mentioned on here, but she's a parrot and repeats practically everything we say.

She's learning to run across the floor, instead of just walk.  She climbs up on everything she possibly can and touches every single thing she shouldn't.

She's obsessed with the Baby MacDonald farm video by Baby Einstein, and she's going to be one sad girl when I have to take it back to the library.  All day long she says, "e-i-e-i-e???" asking me if she can watch it.  She helps me sing "Old Macdonald" all the time, making the animal sounds and also singing the "e-i-e-i-o" part (except she changes the "o" to an "e").  I wanted to find her a farm Christmas ornament for the tree this year (I get the girls an ornament every year which goes along with something from that year), but I can't find any locally, and the ones online are more than I want to pay, so I went with Elmo instead, since she likes him and she can say his name  and I finally found one!!  It's a barn with a cow and a pig, with a rooster on top--PERFECT!  I know she'll love it.

She loves things with wheels.....her car, her doll stroller, her grocery cart, and matchbox cars.  She loves walking around with a little matchbox car in each hand.  We bought her a car ramp for Christmas--I hope she likes it!
