Nodding

In addition to shaking her head, Reese now nods for yes.  If she is pointing at something, for example, the DVD player in the van, and I ask her if she wants me to play a video, she will nod for yes.  If you ask her something like where is her binky (pacifier) and she cannot find it, she will put both hands up for I don't know. 

We are developing means of communication without talking.  I have heard some more babbling and the sound of what we think she is trying to say. but I think that she will be more of a talker than a baby talker.

We Have A Linus!

Reese has taken to dragging around a blanket. It is usually one that is soft and preferrably fleece. She does not like it on her, but likes it around her. I don't think that she likes her feet covered. When she gets up from bed, she will take the blanket with her. Then, when she gets to where she wants to go, she either sits on the blanket or holds the blanket close to her face.

Off and Running

Reese can now walk up and down steps one at a time. She still needs someone to hold her hand as she does it, but she is getting pretty good.

At 18 months Reese is 19 lbs 9 oz and 30 inches long. She has most of her teeth and I think may be only missing two teeth.

This spring we are getting her tricycle out. I think that she will master this pretty quickly if she can reach the pedals.

She loves her uncles, but now will go to her aunts also. It is a nice change!
