Happy half birthday Jo! I can't believe she's 1 1/2 already. She's growing so quickly and learning new skills all the time. She puts words together "more granola" and says simple sentences "I see a bird." She loves the ABC's. She can repeat them all and just today (a few days after she turned 18 months) identified 90% of them on her own! She likes music and will dance and sing along to songs she knows - one of the cutest things she does right now! The spring weather has been great and so we've been taking walks and going to parks. She's pretty adventurous at the park and will climb up the play structure and go down the slide on her own or with Oli. She loves the sandbox, enjoys teeter tottering with Oli, and is not currently a fan of the swings. She loves the little Yo Gabba Gabba stuffed animals we have. She knows all of their names and likes to give them hugs and kisses. She likes books, blocks, and coloring.
This age is not without it's challenges. She's sleeping well but is still an early bird. Her favorite word is "no" and at some point each day we just have to laugh at her because she's said no so frequently. When she does find something she likes she enthusiastically says "yep!" so we are never left guessing. Although she can be stubborn, she's usually pretty happy and recovers quickly when she does get upset. We love you so much Jo!

And Jo one year ago & Oli at 18 months. Looking back makes me feel so nostalgic. It goes so fast!
