Finley is 18 months old!

I love to: 

• Find letters on any and everything - license plates, boxes, bottles, etc.  
• Go for walks in the morning with the dogs and to the lake in the afternoons.  My favorite is going to see the geese and "honking" like a goose when I see them.  
• MUSIC! I am obsessed with Super Simple Songs still and playing with my Elmo singing toy. Dada doesn't quite like the constant singing toy. haha
• Say hi and bye to any neighbors that I see.  
• Eat snacks at the counter on my stool and help in the kitchen. 
• Close any door that is open - shower doors, closets, etc. 
• Watching the airplanes take off and land at the airport behind the house.  I also like to find them in books! 
• Play with my babies - rock them, put them to sleep "night night" and feed them with a bottle. 

I can: 

• Say and identify all 26 letters of the alphabet!  
• Count to 10 and identify 1-10! 
• Run!  I love to run on my way to the lake. 
• Identify what is Mama's and what is Dada's.  I like to point out their clothes, phones, cups, computers, etc.  I can also point out what glasses/mugs Emy uses.  I obviously pay attention to the smallest details.  
• Hide behind Mama and Dada's legs when a neighbor first approaches.  
• I still do not sleep well - especially with these molars coming in! 

I can say: (these are all the new words)

I can now say over 200 words!!!
