Clothes Yes, Cups NO!

Agnes just turned 18 months, and she loves to go through her closet and pick out her clothes. She does a pretty good job too.

She also has to dig through her socks to find the perfect pair, and yes, she has to match the shoes too. Sometimes she’ll pick out a hat to go with the outfit too. She is becoming quite a little fashionista.

I’m excited to see her declaring her independence, but we’ve hit a snag… She refuses to drink from a sippy cup. I’ve taken her shopping twice to pick out her own favorite cups, and she seems happy with them while they are in the store. As soon as it is time for a meal, she despises them. She’ll throw them, scream at them, and even utter the phrase “mean mom”, yes mean mom says it’s time to ditch the bottle my dear.

The boys were really easy to switch to a cup. Dylan was tough to give up his sippy cup though, but Agnes just down-right refuses. So if you have any tips to share, please do, this mommy is getting frustrated.

It’s official Agnes is a year and a half.

She has grown into a giggly, smiley toddler, that can run almost as fast as her brothers.

We love you little gal.

Let’s Go For A Walk

One of my latest goals is to get myself back into some decent form of shape, so I’m walking as much as I can. We have a great walking track in our town, and the little kids are happy to go along for a stroll too.

We walked last Thursday, and it was chilly, and it looked like it could rain at any second. I let Dylan carry his umbrella around the track, he was so happy.

The Little Miss doesn’t mind the wind though, she loves to ride along in her stroller.

I’m looking forward to next week, and I hope to make it to the walking trail at least 5 times. I don’t know if the weather is going to let me though.

Squee!

A favorite game of the kiddos…

The boy’s go on one side of the door, and make faces at the little miss.

She screams and giggles as loud as she can.

She is a happy camper though, and they are all playing together, even though it is really noisy in here.

16 Months

She is still my little girl, but she isn’t all that little any more…

Curious and sneaky too.

She is getting a bit more brave everyday. She is now walking 5 and 6 steps across the room, my little gal is growing up fast.
