I have a toddler, not a baby - 16 months old.

This kid of mine? So full of personality lately. She waddles around babbling all day. 

We had such a good weekend together that I miss her already, and I've only been at work for four hours. 

Some stats?

Age: 16 months on January 25. 

Weight and Length: She might be around 20lbs now. That's all I know, and I don't even know it. 

Diapers: Size 3s still fit good, and size 4 overnight diapers. If we don't use overnights, she wakes up soaked. 

Clothes: 12-18 month jeans (Old Navy, mostly), 6-12 month tops, some a little bigger. 12-18 month pjs. Size 4 in shoes. Size 3 still fits, but toes are too close to the edge. 

Sleep: From 7-7 basically. At home on weekends she takes super long naps around lunch. Both naps this weekend were about 3 hours long. 

Likes: 

- Mommy's toys - cell phone, laptop, any kind of remote or gaming controller.
- Taking plastic containers out of the cupboards.
- Shoes. If the closet is left open, she always goes in and grabs a pair.
- Taking the dvds off the shelf and throwing them on the floor.
- Mr and Mrs Potato Head.
- Climbing on the coffee table and couch.

Dislikes: 

- Sippy cups, but only because she'd rather her bottle.
- Getting her clothes/diaper changed.
- Being in a shopping cart for too long.

New things: 

- She waves 'bye' a lot, but that's not new.

- She blows kisses!

- She mimics a lot more now - sticking out her tongue, taking a sip of water then making the 'ah' sound. 

- She knows where her socks and hat go on her body, and can almost put them on herself. She can get the hat on sometimes. 

- Likes to dance and wiggle a bit more. 

- Climbs everything that she can. 

- Whines when she sees her bottle and wants it. 

- Passing stuff to people and saying 'tata'. 

- She's a little rough. Will stand up for herself by hitting/biting. Sometimes she'll hit for no reason at all. 

She likes food lately. It's about time. Foods she seems to love these days:
- Blueberries
- Cereal with milk
- Pasta and tomato sauce
- Potatoes
- Apple sauce
- Raisins
- Shepherd's Pie
- Cheese

Food's she's not much of a fan of:
- Muffins or cookies that are made with oatmeal and aren't sugar-filled
- Pickles
- Cantaloupe
- Toast with peanut butter and jam

She's just so much fun. All full of words and laughs and trouble. I still think she looks funny walking, and I love just watching her. She's such a Mama's girl - always needs to know that I'm nearby. She'll play alone, as long as she knows I'm close. She's my favorite.
