18 months!

On Saturday Gabriella turned 18 months old. She's closer to 2 than newborn. It truly is crazy how fast time goes by with a child. 
She is doing better than we ever could have imagined. She's walking, talking, trying new foods, getting into mischief, making us laugh, and everything else that comes with toddlerhood. This stage is my favorite so far! 
Our tiny little tot weighs 21 pounds but is 32 1/2 inches tall. She is in the 75th-90th percentile for height and the 5th for weight. Developmentally she is right on track for her actual age of 18 months and is not showing any signs of autism (which they begin testing for at 18 months). She's still not a meat eater but loves fish , beans, and everything else under the sun! 
She loves music and dancing, baby dolls, coloring, animals, and bubbles. She loves being outside and exploring. She mimics every word we say (scary haha!) and has started to think it's funny to make others laugh. 
Her vocabulary has exploded and it's so funny to see what she understands. She gives the best hugs and melts my heart when she hugs my neck and says "mama". With all this growth has also come a toddler attitude and we've had a few meltdowns/tantrums and she wags her little finger at me and says "no no no" at least once a day. But such is life with a toddler:) 
Watching her grow is so much fun!
