My growing girl


Haley has been growing, changing and learning like crazy. By about 18 months, she was able to say 32 words/sayings:
Hello, Mama, Dada, Daddy, Dog, Bye, Apple, Up, Please, Baby, Kitty, Puppy, Baba (bottle), No (& oh no), Ya, Coco, Nose, Ear, Eye, Wow, Cheese, Ball, Mmmmm yummy, Go, Happy, Banana (nana), Again, Hot, Thank You, Melon, Water (wawa), "Here you go".
Now there are even more words and she's trying to put multiple ones together. Her latest thing is saying "Yes I do!", whenever you ask her if she wants to do something. Yesterday it was "Haley, do you want to watch Tinker Bell?" (her favorite movie), she responded "yes I do!". Now we just have to work on "yes please". She'll say please, just not following the word yes :)
Haley is still a tiny little girl, which I love. I measured her the other day, she's about 31 inches, and this morning she was 20lbs 14 1/2oz. She still fits into 12-18 month clothing, and she'll be 2 in about 2 months!
We've been struggling with feeding her lately. Before I went back to work (when she was 1), she would eat anything you gave her. Now she's super picky and doesn't seem to have much of an appetite. Her favorite meal is fries and chicken nuggets, only cause she gets to dip them into ketchup (keka as she calls it) and BBQ sauce. Our last resort is always yogurt and fruit, these she'll always eat. Guess it could be worse. She has got pretty good with a spoon, and can use it really well with both hands. It'll be interesting to see which hand she favors as she gets older.
