16 Months

Happy St. Paddys Day!! Reesa and I went over to Alison's to hang with her and Isaiah while Patrick worked that night. Reesa picked out her rainbow leggings to wear. It's still a little cold in Portland to wear only leggings so we had to layer.

Reesa has sucessfully used her potty twice!! We are not full blown potty training right now. We are just having a regularly scheduled bottoms free time where we encourage her to use the potty to get her relaxed and comfortable with using it. Our goal is 18 months but of course there is no guarantee :)
Reesa's hair is getting longer and we are starting to use hairbands to pull her hair back into a ponytail or pigtails. Reesa stopped allowing clips and headbands in her hair a while back so I hope that we can compromise and she will love her ponytail!!

Reesa's one word vocabulary is still growing: broccoli, mushroom, toothbrush, and almost any animal sound you can think of. We are working on two words like: down please, no thank you, etc. She really likes to use no and thank you just not together. :) Maybe even some colors next!

Here is Reesa playing "boo" with us last night. If you listen closely you can hear her saying her name so that you can come find her.

This is the cutest thing EVER! Love her little-voice "Reesa?" and her hammy open-mouth smile! Way to go on the potty non-training, too! I'm impressed!

Maria,

I love your blog, and I'm especially in love with these super adorable videos of Reesa (I said her name in her cute high voice there). It makes me so ready for Finley to be walking and talking! Hope you are well!! You look amazing in any picture you post!
