All About Bethany

Miss B is 18 months old!

Actually she is 19 months now but I want to get this all down and record her stats and information for the future! Pull up a chair, get a snack and read on.


Weight = 24 lbs
Height = 31 inches
She is in the 50th percentile for everything. Just your average toddler! Only we think she is far beyond that . . .

Words and Phrases:

Mama* Dadda* baby* ruff* meow* moo* up* no* no way* bite* snack* mo(more) * fishie* juice* milk* wah (water)* shoe* Hi* ByeBye* nite nite* I see you* Hi Ruff(to dogs)* happy* book* Money(Bunny)* Buddie(bear)* burpee* nose* eye* ouch,oww* outside* cracker* beep beep* EeeO's(cheerios)* Bippo(Hippo)* bubbles* hat* ickle(pickle)* on* all done * giggles(wiggles)

That equals about 40 or so words. Pretty good, I'd have to say . . . and YES she does use these words in her everyday vocabulary. She also repeats a number of other things she hears but I am not counting them as part of her vocabulary as of yet.


Things she does:

*Follows simple directions
*Pretends to feed and give drinks to her animals and babies
*Climbs in chairs, onto the tables and up the stairs
* Plays games and toys
* Requests preferred songs "Twinkle, twinkle" and the Wiggles songs
* Starting to feed herself with help
* Reads books and turns them the right way
* Pretends to "talk" on the phone
*Points to items when asked "where is ?"
* Likes the piano
*Recognizes familiar people in photos and says their names
* LOVES the computer (we are trying to get this one to stop)

Current favorites:

Pink Bunny (she calls it Money)
Bear
Talking on the phone
Getting into mischief
Loving and snuggling with mommy and being mommy's shadow
Shoes (ours, hers, anyone's!)
The Wiggles
Going Bye Bye in the beep beep


Wow, this baby girl is really growing up and learing a lot! We look forward to seeing how she will deal with being a big sister soon!
