Newlywed Adventures in the Army: 18 Months

Note: This post would have gone up on the 12th, but blogger was down for almost a full day and I wasn't feeling well yesterday.

Toddler D is now 18 months old. She is a HANDFUL!!! In a good way most of the time.

The Amazing Shrinking Giraffe

Here are some cool "milestones" we have reached since her 15 month appointment:

She can climb out of the crib if left in there without her modified sleep sack on (ok this one isn't cool AT ALL but it is a milestone!)
She has all sorts of new words. Here are some of Sgt D's and my favorites: WOW, Geez, Gosh, Baba (that is Grandpa), mail, park, wee (swing), boo boo (which is poo poo), and boo (which is boo boo).
She is a climber! She will climb on ANYTHING. God help us when we move into the new house with the STAIRS.
She is taller than the kitchen counters and does not always remember that fact.
She now rides the big girl swings and as of Thursday she likes to jump off mid-swing - yes mommy just about had a heart attack!
She loves bath time and blowing bubbles in the tub - but she only seems to like it when daddy gives her a bath, when mommy does she screams the whole time and wants OUT!
She will only eat meals now if we have her music playing, she sways to the beat while she eats - at least she has rhythm.
When mama is gone she demands mama the whole time, when dada is gone she demands dada all day long. Needless to say, mama hears "dada" all day long during the week and is constantly saying the words "Dada is at work".
She knows the google video chat ring means that she will get to see Nana and as soon as the computer makes the noise she starts saying "Nana" over and over again :)
We have officially started potty training! She has the interest and hopefully soon the desire and we can stop doing cloth diapers! That would be this mommy's dream come true!
