16 months old!

Gemma was 16 months old yesterday!

I feel like this month has really produced a toddler child living in our house rather than a baby. I suspect this may have been true for a few months, I just wasn't ready to see it before now.

Gemma is taking and adding new words constantly. She is independent a d prefers to feed herself. She knows what food she wants and she will point to where EXACTLY on her tray she would like you to put it. She'll point to the bag of cheese on the counter, say "cheese" and then point to where she would like it on her tray.

She adores her red shoes more than anything. She will pitch a huge tantrum if you dare to put another pair of shoes on her feet. So, lately she wears just socks to the playground. Once we reach the playground, she still doesn't want tennis shoes, but the excitement of playground! is enough distraction she won't put up a huge fight.

Yesterday, she got up and decided it was time to change her baby's diaper. This required a huge number of wipes (10+) and a diaper. Also, a great deal of concentration.

You'll also notice she had a cute little ponytail yesterday for about 45 minutes before pulling it out.
