One and a Half

It's gotta be the hair.  I love it, but it makes Wren look three times her age.  She actually just turned 18 months old.  She's a very fun one and a half year old little girl.  

Who She Loves
When Wren wakes in the morning she often asks for IPA or shouts "Ip-Pah" when she hears IPA walking down the hall.  Then excitedly says "Maa" (like "baaa") as soon as she sees Max...or Otto.  We're working on teaching her "Otto" or just "O" so that she doesn't call both her brothers by the same name.

What She Loves
Over the past couple months she has become totally attached to her sleep sack and snugglie kitty. She still wears her sleep sack at night, but as soon as we take her out of it in the morning she wants to hold it.  She carries it around for much of the day when we're home.  

She has great fun playing hide and seek, especially when I hide under a blanket and she finds me.  

She loves to dance and have music playing.  It's extra fun to shake her head side to side really fast and have her hair flapping back and forth!  That will get her giggling!

She loves to show where her belly is (and her nose, ears, etc). But mostly showing everyone her belly.

Daily Life
She's starting to sit longer for stories!  She'll read with me and Otto on our home days and enjoys bedtime stories longer than just a few minutes.  

She has no trouble keeping up with Max and Otto.  And now she already dislikes her high chair and only wants to sit on the stools at the counter for meals, just like her big brothers.  We've had a few bumps...I probably never should have let her start sitting on the stools.  

Over the past month or so she's starting to say a lot more words.  Personally, the cutest is when she says "Thank You," which I notice most when her brothers have done something for her or given her something.  Win Win...she's using manners and her brother are being helpful!!!

As soon as anyone mentions going outside, going to Costco, going anywhere; she's instantly grabbing her coat and shoes and urging the rest of us to hurry up.

A few pictures from the past few months...

If you ever can't find her, chances are she's snuggled up with IPA or has climbed into the bathtub.
