Kendall is 18 months

My little peanut is 18 months, which in the LDS culture only means one thing: NURSERY! She does great at the gym, so I don't think she's going to have a problem in nursery, but we'll see. One thing is certain, she's going to love her new freedom. It beats sitting on mommy's lap or sitting right by mommy's feet.
Kendall is such a sweetheart, with a strong personality. She definitely has an opinion of what she wants and doesn't want. 






This month, Kendall:
- repeats pretty much everything I ask her to say
- says shoes, Taydo (Taylor), thank you, socks, snack, water, help, eat, outside, hands, milk, more, bear, and baby... and maybe a few more I am not remembering
- enjoys dancing to music, whether on the radio or television
- signs "please" by rubbing her bare belly
- is very helpful around the house - she closes doors, cleans up toys, unloads the dryer, flushes the toilet, gets everybody their shoes, etc
- listens very well - I am sometimes taken back by how obedient she is
- understands a lot - This also surprises me a lot sometimes
- loves to run around the house with Logan and Taylor, even though they run her over sometimes
- enjoys pinching people then hugging and kissing them
- loves the song, If You're Happy and You Know It - She even does all the motions

Kendall is always listening, even when I am speaking to Logan and Taylor. For example, I'll say, "Boys, let's go potty before we go on a trip." Well, she's the first one at the bathroom, always.
Kendall is a girly-girl, for sure. She loves to hug and kiss her stuffed animals. She has a very nurturing personality. She even enjoys taking care of her brothers by getting their clothes, shoes, sippy cups, etc.
Kendall has definitely made the transition from baby to little girl. I sometimes forget it, then out of the blues, she does something that reminds me of it. She's my little big girl ;-)

Isn't it amazing how quickly they grow? She's so cute!

She'll be in nursery with David! David did ok for the first couple weeks, but he cries whenever we leave him now. It breaks my heart! I hope Kendall does better!
