Baby's SECOND Christmas

I am looking forward to Christmas this year so much. Having a little one really makes preparing for Christmas really fun. She's not really old enough to understand everything that goes on but she's old enough to have fun with family and enjoy her new toys. She loves messing with the Christmas tree ornaments and looking at Christmas lights as we drive around town. She even can tell you that Santa Claus says "Ho Ho Ho".

Here are some things my baby can do at 16 months:

• She can say a few words now. She says: mama, dada, go, cold , keys, tea, peas, uh-oh, hi, bye, uh-huh (for yes), and no.
• She can make animal sounds for several animals including moo, woof woof, and quack ("ah ah")
• She has learned to scribble with crayons.
• She can climb up a few steps and slide.
• She is so in love with going to bed at night. She will say "uh-huh" when I ask her if she wants to go to bed. I'm not sure that is very normal, but I love it!
• She is wanting to use a fork to feed herself sometimes.
• I love that she can answer with "uh-huh" or "no" to most questions I ask her. It makes it easier to figure out what she wants.
