Is it possible?
Today when I opened my email, I had a lovely email discussing my 16 month old baby...
wait, there must be some mistake... I don't have a 16 month old... what's the date... holy crap.
Yup, actually, I do have a 16 month old.
I've been so consumed with the passing weeks of this new little one, that I'm kind of forgetting the passing weeks of my first little one.
She is almost a year and a half old. Man, time really does fly.
I am so proud of that little girl. She takes on life with such tenacity that it puts me to shame.
And guess what? I got that :)
She is so full of life and, well, attitude that at times it gets so frustrating, but then I think of how much I wanted this for her.
Not everyone has that type of 'push'. The part that never gives up. I never want her to be afraid of anything. I want her to see a hurdle and think, "ahh, that's nothing" and leap over it. I want if she falls to think immediately on how she is going to get back up.
I want people to refer to her as a woman with fire in her eyes, a firecracker.
I know that wanting her to have everything will be a big responsibility on me and Jon. We need to teach her to hold her temper and teach her to be loving and forgiving. We need to teach her sensitivity to others. We will need to give her very distinct boundaries and keep to our guns. It's already proving to be easier said than done. Especially with me being pregnant, I just don't want to fight with her... and although she gets away with more than I would like, I still think she is a pretty well rounded kid.
She is so stinkin' cute and is talking SO much! She has the best faces of any child in the world.
She can basically mimic anything you say to a certain extent.
Her favorite new word is Ash. She talks about her cousins all the time "maaaaeee" and aayyee" (maddy and Kady). She says all your basic words, ball, go, mamma, dadda, no, yes, more, hi, bye, baby, jedi, etc.
Like I said, she can basically mimic anything, so she can sort of say whatever we want her to, as long as it's simple.
Her hair is growing! :) and she knows where all her body parts are. Just ask her where her mouth is and she will be glad to show you :)
She still loves baby dolls. But now she also likes to "make food" for you. She gets her dishes and comes over to feed you. She also loves the Little People sets. Reading is still one of her favorite past times and she will come over to me with a handful of books and sit patiently while I read each and everyone to her.
I am so blessed to have Lyric. She makes my life so much more fulfilled and I couldn't imagine life without her.

she sounds like my sort of person.
She is so cute and loaded with personality and someday we will be able to say I knew her when!
