16 Months Old

Here we are again... another month has flown by!!  Leighton turned 16 months old last week, and she is getting bigger by the minute.  This past month she cut her first molar (Lyn noticed it had come through when they were playing one day).... and three more quickly followed.  Now she has a total of twelve teeth, so we're cooking filet mignons over here!!  She also started babbling a ton in the last week or so.  It is really cute to listen to her... I just wish so badly that I knew what she was trying to say!!

Leighton has also gotten really comfortable in the water and loves to swim!!  I think I mentioned in an earlier post that we did a mommy and me swim class at the YMCA last month.  She made a lot of progress over the course of the class and she continues to make progress every time she is in the water.  If only I could get her to keep her mouth closed and NOT to drink the pool (or bath) water.  She has also been doing really well with her sleep these days (likely due in part to the aforementioned swimming), so I am enjoying that ;)  Most days, she takes a 2 hour nap and she wakes up around 7:30 in the mornings!!

One thing I am not a big fan of is her spitting her food out.  She has gotten a little picky over the last couple of weeks and recently she decided if she didn't want something, she was just gonna spit it out.  I told my mom what she was doing, and she just laughed and said she thought it was cute.  While I don't agree with that, I understand that all kids do it, and I'm afraid if I make a big deal out of it, it will only make it worse.  So, I'm struggling a little bit with this one.  However, she's still cute... so I hope you enjoy some of her 16 month old cuteness!!

She looks so big to me in these...

I hope everyone is having a great week!
