Sixteen Months Old

By -
 
We couldn't love this little cupcake more. She is constantly getting smothered in kisses by Daddy and Mommy. Her little personality really came out this past month. She has an attitude and isn't afraid to use it. She's so funny, but very calculated. I have a feeling Grace will be the class clown while Char brings home the straight A report cards. It's so fun watching them grow and learn together. We are so, so blessed with these little munchkins.
 
This month:
  
Chawee weighs twenty-three pounds, nine ounces (50th percentile).
 
She is thirty-one and three quarter inches tall (80th percentile).
 
Her favorite things are her blankies, her stuffed lion named Roar, and jewelry.
 
Girl can put away some food. She consistently eats more than her big sister at each and every meal.
 
She's getting really good at telling you what she wants. Usually, it's a popsicle, and she'll go to the freezer and pull on the door until someone gets her one.
 
Movies we watched over and over this month include: Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, Epic, and Beauty and the Beast.
 
Charley loves building forts with sister, and is even more excited when she gets to hide out inside of them with her light up teddy bear.
 
She is obsessed with stickers and will sit very still while Grace covers her in them. She also lets Grace color her entire body with markers.
 
She understands everything you say and follows directions well. Her doctor was very impressed with her ability to comprehend everything.
 
Char learned more new words this month, but the most important one was the word "yes". It sounds more like "yeshhh", and it's adorable. (Char, do you want dinner? "yeshhh!")
 
Much like her sister, she'd rather waddle around in a diaper than wear clothes.
 
She's still at sixteen teeth, but I'm pretty sure her two-year-old molars are making their way through. Charley is always chewing on her little fingers lately.
 
Still wearing 12-18 months clothes and size six shoes.
 
We are currently starting operation: wean Charley from nursing. She's not going to be happy about it, but my goal is to be completely done by the end of the month. That way she'll have one more month with the binky before she gets that taken away, too. I have a feeling that one will be much easier.
 
Wish us luck!

...Char was sleeping so peacefully Monday morning that I didn't want to wake her up. ...she made me a pretty picture at school with chalk. ...she continued her obsession with the easel and colored (and watched Toy Story ) while waiting for Daddy to get home from work. Hooray for panties! ...it got cold and windy again, but we played outside anyways. Isaac played catch with the neighbor boys, while JJ flew the kite and Char strutted her stuff. ...the girls danced around the living room. There is an iTunes Radio station called 'Frozen Radio' that the girls are crazy about. They play random Disney songs, and we listen to it all.the.time. (After watching this a few times, I realized that Char was trying to sing "friend in" as in "You've Got a Friend In Me".) ...Grace put Charley to bed by tickling her face. ...the girls got cake pops. Yep, for breakfast. ...we got to school a few minute...

Can you believe Grace is nineteen months old? Time flies so much faster when you have a baby! This month she got to go see Dr. Vu for a check-up and didn't even have to get any shots. She was super excited hanging out in the waiting room and even learned how to say "cars": At nineteen months, Grace weighs in at 26 pounds, 4 ounces. This puts her in the seventy-fifth percentile for weight. We absolutely love that she's so squishy. It's makes it much more fun to smother her cheeks with kisses. She is also 31 inches tall. This is in the sixtieth percentile. Baby must have gone through a growth spurt since her last check up, because she was only in the thirtieth percentile back then. This month Grace learned a lot of new words. My favorite is when we say her bedtime prayers and at the end she says, "aaaamennn". It's so precious! She's now obsessed with Elmo and says "Ah Ehmo?" for "Where's Elmo?". She's also go...

Charley turns FIVE!

Char Char, the five year old. That doesn't even seem real. This girl has grown and changed so much over the past couple of months. She's lost her toddler look and is total big girl status these days. (She does still have her chipmunk voice, so at least I can hang on to that.) Charley will be starting Kindergarten soon, and we have her orientation this upcoming weekend. I'm not ready for that. With Grace, I was so excited. Charley still feels like a baby to me. She, on the other hand, cannot wait to join her big sis and the Sebastian boys at school every day. Charley recently had a doctor's appointment where they told her she didn't need any shots, and she was so happy after anticipating them all day. She weighed in at forty pounds and stands forty-four inches tall. She's in the fiftieth percentile for weight and the seventy-fifth for height. She is in size five in almost everything and is wearing a size ten in shoes. Char loves her dresses a...
