Our little princess is 16 Months old! I feel like she has learned so much in the last few months so I thought I would write a post so I can try and remember all her big girl milestones.

* Funny Side Story- one of my friends (who doesn’t have kids yet, but his wife is pregnant) asked me how old Londyn was and I said 15 months. He goes… at what age do you stop saying months and start using years! I just laughed, I guess maybe it’s a mom thing to continue the monthly ages. People without kids probably think we are crazy! #momlife

Anyway, back to Londyn Bear!

Oh boy, she is a princess. We call her that in an endearing way but she knows she is cute and she gets away with everything! She has definitely started to show her sassy personality and runs the show most of the time in our house! She loves to help with things around the house. Putting trash in the trash can, feeding duke, opening the door for duke, taking her plate to the sink. It’s cute she wants to help, we joke that someday she won’t want to help with these chores.

Londyn loves baths, loves to brush her teeth (she still only has 4), she loves reading books & she gets more excited to see Duke over anyone else! She loves to cuddle with him, give him kisses, throw his ball and give him bones. It is so funny when we say “do you want to give Duke a bone?” She immediately sits…. we think it’s because every time we give Duke a bone we tell HIM to sit, so she thinks she needs to sit too. It is the cutest thing.

She loves Mac n Cheese, broccoli, asparagus, her bottle, cheese, eggs, Cheerios & anything I’m eating 😉 she has become a pretty good eater & likes to sit in her own chair at restaurants (no more high chairs)

She has started to say a few words and is repeating A LOT. (Daddy is working on his bad language). She knows a lot of animals noises. Cow, pig, duck, owl(just learned this today via Daddy), horse, dog, lion, bear, monkey & sometimes cat! She also can point out a couple body parts! She loves to say EYE! But she can also point to her nose, mouth, ears, hair, head, toes, belly (she loves finding our belly buttons). She loves to dance and will sometimes sing along to the music. I signed us up for a dance class this summer so I’m hoping she will like dancing in that class.

We got her a potty for our main bathroom (just to start getting her use to it) and she is very interested and has sat on her potty many times. She understands that you go potty on it but doesn’t quite understand to hold it till you get to the potty. I’ll ask her if she pooped and she will run into the potty (just a little too late). So hopefully soon she will start to learn the next steps of it. No rush, just want her to start getting use to it all.

She loves to color and play with stickers! And just in the last couple weeks she loves playing with her dolls! Which just melts my heart! She loves to swaddle them, feed them and stroll them around. We have to take at least one doll with us anywhere we go & she likes to have baby in her high chair with her. I just like watching what she comes up with, it really amazes me how smart she is and how much stuff she picks up from watching us. She likes to put on “makeup” while watching me put on my makeup. I give her a makeup brush and she puts it on her cheeks. She also likes to put on chapstick and lotion.

We spent a week in Breckenridge with my family and it was so nice to get away and spend the week with them! Mitch came up for a few days before he had to go back to work but then Londyn and I got to stay for the week! She had so much fun playing with her cousin Carter and having grandpa &grandma take them sledding. Those two girls are best buds and I can’t handle how cute they are. They are finally at an age where they can play together and love interacting with each other. They hold hands and hug and share toys (& fight over toys). They also went swimming. Which Londyn loved! She wanted to be in the big kid pool most the time! I think we will need to take swim lessons again this summer!

Mitch and I were able to ski one day while my parents watched Londyn. It was fun to spend the day skiing! Last time we skied was when I was 6(ish) weeks pregnant so it was overdue to get out there again!

Here are some pics of L from the last few months:
