18 months or 18 years...


The girl's already attached to her cell phone, I don't even want to think about what she's going to be like at 18 years old!
She sure has brought her A game the past couple of weeks, learning all kinds of new stuff. We had a goal set for her to be cruising (walking along things) by the time she is two, we are easily going to meet that and we are thinking she may even be independently walking before then too.

Of course, with this new found independence, she has also found an attitude. My sweet little baby is turning into a monster of a toddler.
On the plus side, she starts nursery on Sunday. For the past month or so she has been so hard to keep quiet during Relief Society, but last Sunday she fell asleep on me, cuddled on me the whole time. I melted. It was awesome, getting to snuggle with my baby one last time before she heads to nursery. PRICELESS!

It's great that she's doing so well...I bet once she's in nursery and is around other kids, it will help her too! It's crazy how fast they grow up, but I love the fact she has an attitude at such a young age...you guys are in for it!

Linds!

She is doing so great and has come so far. You have got to be the world's most patient and loving mother. I have been so impressed with how well you have worked with her and she is your LIFE. She is so cute and I cannot beleive she is already 18 months...which if you round it up makes her closer to 2. Weird. Love her and love those curls....

ok, seriously? It seems like just yesterday you were waiting for her to be "old enough" so you could return back to your nursery class. Wow, I cant believe it is already time for nursery! I got your message yesterday. Sorry, I had the worst migraine all day so I just laid on the couch! I will call soon.

AWWW! What a cutie. She will for sure be walking at 2 at that rate. Probably in the next 2-3 months! Wish you were closer!

She is such a cutie!! I also can't wait for nursery, Ellie is a pain at church and only lasts 30 minutes in sacrament and the rest of the time we spend in the halls!

@Lindsie--
The quiet book pattern I used was found here: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?ref=sr_gallery_11&listing_id=19799949
It's an Etsy seller named shelleywallace.

Hey Lindsie,
I'm so excited to be getting back in touch with some of our friends from the cohort. It's been fun to read your blog and see what you've been up to. Isn't it crazy how life has changed for all of us? You have such a beautiful little family. Ava is just gorgeous!
