18 Months

I can't believe my baby girl is a year and a half! It's just so unreal. Hailey is just so much fun lately. She talks so much and understands so much that it has made life easier in some aspects.  But she is a little fireball. She still love to cling to mommy but is totally independent when she wants to be. She has a little temper and does not like to have things taken away from her(spoiled first child syndrome). My mom like to call her a "little bulldog" because of this behavior. And she can give a little scowl when she is mad about something. It's kind of hilarious.  She is a great little talker. It's starting to get to the point where I can't really keep track of everything she can say b/c she really tries to say almost everything. But I am very impressed b/c she will say three word sentences and multiple syllable words(bragging mom moment...sorry!). She points out things that I don't think she even knows. She loves Minnie Mouse(mimmie), Micky Mouse(Gicky) and Elmo. She will point out the smallest little picture of any of these and it just makes me laugh. She has 15 teeth and her last eye tooth is on it's way. She is still kind of a picky/finicky eater. Can't get her to eat her veggies yet. I'm going to have to become the mast of disguising them I guess. Any suggestions are welcome! She has mastered walking and hasn't crawled since she started. She is getting better and better everyday with her running. She has the cutest little personality. People tell me everywhere I go how cute she is. I love her so much and she melts my heart. I am so proud to be her mama.
