18 Months!

A year and a half!!!  I cannot believe it!  Avery has been so busy lately.  Let's see...I have a cold, I thought it was severe allergies, but no medication would help.  SO I finally had to resort to cold medicine.  I am still snotting everywhere, but feel better.  Avery has been a complete angel ALL day so far.  We'll see what she is like after her nap.  Here is what Avery has been up to now that she's 18-months:
*Repeats things almost instantly, my favorite one is her, "oh no". 
*Listens & for the most part follows my instructions.  "Chairs are for sitting"
*Seems taller and skinnier.
*And yes, the tantrums have started.  She will lay down on the ground instead of cooperating.  Embarrassing.
*She is talking a lot more thanks to her quick repeats.
*She loves Wonder Pets (unfortunately).
*This morning she sat at the table like a big girl (the whole time) and ate her Lucky Charms with a spoon (for part of it anyway).  I also went ahead and switched her sippy to the 24+months one.  It's a little messy, but she's got it.  AND I swear she's so smart!  I gave her the cup this morning without taking one of the parts out.  She tried to drink from it, then handed it back to me immediately like, "fix it".
*I'm so proud of her for being so smart, listening so well and for learning so much so soon.  I love her too much;)
