17 Months

Maisy is 17 Months old (and 4 days!)…here is what she’s up to these days:

• Busy, busy, busy!  She is very active and loves to be chasing her brother around, playing, rough housing, she’ll take as much action as she can get!
• She weighs 22 pounds, wears 12-18 month clothes, size 4 shoe, size 4 diapers.
• She has 6 teeth! 4 on top and 2 on bottom.
• She has learned the word NO this month!  She says it in the cutest sweetest voice “noooooo” so you can’t get mad at her.  And she says “mm hmm” for yes, so cute.
• She is loving all the Christmas festivities, she says “Wowwww, Cooool!" any time she sees decorations, she knows who Santa is and knows that he says “ho, ho, ho”.  Her little voice is so cute.
• She has been really curious about the potty lately, obviously she wants to do all the big kid things that her brother does.  She says “poop” and points to her diaper all throughout the day and gets so excited if you take her to the potty.  She has even peed 7 different times already!  I’m not getting my hopes up, as soon as she knows this is actually what I WANT her to do, she’ll change her mind!
• She is SUCH a Daddy’s girl.  If he leaves the room for 5 minutes she acts like she hasn’t seen him all day when he comes back in!
• Her favorite things right now are Sponge Bob & Bubble Guppies.  She FREAKS when she sees something with Sponge Bob on it and when she wants to watch Bubble Guppies she starts singing “bubble bubble bubble” and shaking her hips like they do in the theme song.  Again, really cute!

Maisy is definitely a sweet, fun-spirited little girl to be around.  She is also strong willed and will try hard to get what she wants.  Her & Ryder have been enjoying each other more lately and can make each other laugh so hard!  The age Maisy is at right now is so exhausting, she is just non-stop…but we’re enjoying it because all too soon she will seem way too grown up!
