Our 1 1/2 year old

Sweet Heidi Reese,
What a whirlwind these last 18 months have been with you! You are busy, busy, busy and don't stop unless you're asleep. You are a great blessing to our lives and it's hard to remember what life was like before you. More about you:
-You are sweet and very sassy! We're going through an interesting stage with you right now since you've learned to be more independent. We're definitely having to teach you a lot about patience and obedience.
-You have a sweet, mischevious smile and the sweetest little dimple. And I love how your eyes squinch up with that grin.
-You have caught up on your height to be average in the 50th percentile, but are still on the small side in terms of weight at 21 pounds and in the 15-25th percentile. Still just perfect to us.
-You love to read and be read to and your favorite books are about ducks. You love to quack as we read the stories.
-You still like to "wake up slow" as your dad says and will get very cranky if we try to get you going to quickly in the morning.
-You're gaining more and more words and understand so much around you now. You can respond with a shake of the head and a no. And, that's your favorite word, too!
-You are into everything! I'm constantly catching you with my toothbrush and toothpaste. Or dragging everything out of the cabinets. Or climbing on the table.
We love you, Heidi Reese! Can't wait to see how you grow in the next 18 months.
