Macy Turns 18 Months

We're a little late getting this post up with everything that has been going on, but our sweet baby girl is now 18 months old! She is now a big sister, old enough for the nursery at Church, and it is probably time to transition from calling her a baby to calling her a little girl. Time goes by so fast!

Here are few things Macy has been up to this month:

• Macy knows the motions to "Popcorn Popping" and goes around saying "pa pa pa" translation- "pop, pop, pop".
  



• Macy really likes to put her toys away. She likes to pick everything up and put them in boxes, baskets, the storage ottoman, the baby bathtub, whatever is handy.
  



• Macy is trilingual these days. She says "baby" in Sign Language, she says "hola" and can count to four in Spanish, and her new words in English include "purple", "duck", "bear", "ok", "Cheerios" and many others.
  



• Macy likes to give kisses. She gives one to Mama and Daddy before bedtime and also gives some to Daddy when she is in trouble as a quick and easy way to get out of trouble.
  



• When we are feeding Macy and food spills she is very good at picking it up off her tray and putting it back on the plate or into the bowl. I guess this girl really likes things clean!
  



• The other day Macy was playing in my makeup bag (as usual) and she found my eyelash curler. As she played with it she said, "scissors, scissors, cut". I have no idea where she learned about scissors, but I am impressed that she recognized that the shape of the eyelash curler does look a lot like scissors.

For Family Home Evening the night before my due date we gave Macy her own "baby" and read the Berenstain Bears New Baby book. Macy of course had no idea what was going on, but we tried.
