16 months

Sweet Ansley,

You are 16 months old now. I wonder when I'll finally stop telling your age in months and just in years. This has been the shortest but sweetest 16 months of my life. I love every single minute I spend with you. Here is what's going on with you:
-You have ten teeth...four top front, four bottom front, two top back. I just felt one bottom back that has broken the skin and the other should be soon to follow. No wonder you've been so fussy lately!
-Your hair is growing, but is hard to see because it's so blonde. It's still too short to put a bow in it. Speaking of those, you refuse to wear the headband with bow for any longer than a few seconds anymore. I miss those precious big bows you used to wear. They were your signature, but it's been many months since you last wore one.


-Your daddy and I are constantly amazed at how smart you are. We have been working on your body parts and you know where to find your eyes, nose, ears, hair, teeth, belly button, and toes. You also know how to clip the straps on your booster seat and have recently learned how to put on your shoes.

-You took your first bath in the water hose today. You played a little in it when I was watering, so I decided you would enjoy stripping down and running through it. It was such a precious sight!
-You are one busy little girl. You love to get all of your toys and bring them to the living room to play.
-You are so much fun to play with. You love playing chase and crawling around the floor with Daddy. You also love to tackle Molly, but she has started hiding from you.
-You are so tall and I have realized that you are no longer a baby, but are now a kid. I'm having so much fun with you! You walk very well, but prefer to run everywhere you go.
-You love people and never meet a stranger. You have always been this way. You love going to church to play with your friends and see all of Mommy and Daddy's friends too.

My sweet little girl, I love you so much. Please stop growing up so quickly.

Love,
Mommy
