18 Months

Zenobia turned 18 months on November 7! Hard to believe she is already half way through her second year. She is becoming quite the character as well! She absolutely loves music, if she hears a catchey tune on the TV she drops whatever she is doing and sprints to the TV and dances. When the tune is done playing she says "Muni?" with both hands palms up saying "where'd it go?" She's always asking for "muni" and dances to it all. In church she will get down and dance and even sing some. One day she started singing a little late (while the band was switching songs) and I think the whole church heard her. Zenobia loves waving hi to anyone and blowing kisses. She loves to help mommy clean whether it is mopping or washing dishes. If she sees me turn the water on in any sink she dashes to get her step stool so she can take part as well. She also loves her baby dolls and is so loving towards them. (Let's hope this stays with her for her baby sister or brother) Zenobia has one small doll that she takes everywhere and likes to fall asleep with. One of her favorite phrases is "Oh my goodness" and "Oh man" which she uses at the right times! She is growing like a weed!!!! In the last 6 months she grew 7 inches and gained 8 pounds. Zenobia has always been in the 70th percentile or higher for height but always below the 50th percentile for weight. At her 18 month check up, her weight caught up to her height. She is 35 1/2 inches (100%) and is 28 pounds (92%). Our baby girl isn't so much a baby anymore and becoming a true toddler. She is so fun and such a joy and precious gift in our lives.
