18 months!!! How is this possible?? I cannot believe my baby is 1.5 years old already! Even though she will ALWAYS be my baby it is sad how big she is looking & acting lately. This month Rayna has been like a little sponge soaking up so many new words & actions from everyone around her. She talks all the time and her vocabulary has exploded this month! She understands what I say or ask her to do, listens to my directions, and attempts to communicate back with me (most of the time). She is little Miss Personality following in her sister's footsteps, probably more fearless than Rylee was at this age (which is why she always has a new bobo), always on the go, always smiling or laughing, and still a very picky eater. Not sure what we would do without our sweet Rayna in our life.
Measurements: Wearing size 5 diapers and size 5 nighttime diapers, wearing 18 and 18-24 month clothes, and size 4-5 shoes.
Sleeping: Sleeping 12+ hours at night and napping once a day in the afternoon.
Eating: STILL drinking milk twice a day out of a bottle...but not super warm so we are slowly weaning her off of warm milk then hopefully NO bottles!! She's spoiled rotten!
Total teeth: 11 (one new one on the bottom in the back just started popping through)

New Tricks/Activities/Accomplishments:
- New words/Fav words (I want to remember): more, please, all gone or gone gone (while doing the sign language), all better, stinky (while waving hand like I do), ball, bubble, yummy yummy, backpack (and will point to Rylee's school backpack hanging), baby, no no, woah, uh uh, owwwww (says it really dramatically lol - especially when I am fixing her hair), wow, ma ma, da da, Eye eye (aka Ry Ry), Mee Me, oh no, gentle, mine, go go go, and thank you (attempts to say it)
- Got her fourth haircut! Still in disbelief about this since Rylee did not get her first haircut until she was 23 months!!
- Has started a new machine gun laugh
- Upgraded to a booster seat!
- Waits till we count to 10 then runs and finds Rylee.
- Knows all body parts!
- Mimics everything we do! She also knows what the dog and cat say.
- Went to her first festival and got to eat a snow cone and ride a pony!
- Had her first pigtails! She has soooo much hair and I am sure she could have had pigtails long before but she does not sit still that well so finally managed to pull it off! So cute :)
- Went to the pumpkin patch
- Went to Blessington Farms
- Celebrated halloween and dressed up as a cute little cheetah!
- Just moved up to the big kid (18 month +) class at the YMCA nursery and did great with the transition!
- Can now go up and down the stairs unassisted but still while we are watching her or in arms reach.
- Unfortunately, she chipped her front tooth when playing in the playroom. She literally falls 24/7. She is the clumsiest and more fearless than Rylee ever was...Lord help me! I called the Pediatric Dentist just in case and they said it was no big deal....she will eventually lose the tooth. Duh! But not until she is probably six years old!! The next five years her big cheesy smiles will look just great... At least she's cute ;)
- Got sick with a cold & croup ;(
- Voted with Mommy for the first time!
- Moved in with Aunt Mera & Aunt Debbie while our bathrooms & kitchen get completely remodeled.
- Started trying to sing along with us
Likes: LOVES books, blankets, playing outside, jumping, dancing, shopping & snacking, chasing Rylee around the house, playing with poor Mali's tail, shoes, jewelry, play makeup, shutting all doors in the house, playing doctor, playing hide & seek, swinging, going up and down the stairs, animals - especially dogs and cats (she gets so excited when she sees them outside or on the TV), remotes, phones, and anything sweet!

Happy Halloween! I still cannot get over how stinking cute Rayna was as a little cheetah with her first ever pigtails! LOVE!!! She had so much fun trick-or-treating with all of their cousins on Halloween! She rode in the wagon for most of the night but walked to the doors a few times with the big kids to collect her fair share of candy. She has a major sweet tooth! ;) She was a little fussy towards the end of the night since it was past her bedtime, she had a big fall out of the wagon on the concrete (oops!), burned her leg by getting too close to a spotlight at a house (oops again!), and then woke up the next morning with a fever... At least she looked cute! :)
