Campbell is 18 months old today!! I can’t believe how fast this last year and a half have gone! I was pulling out all the photos for this post, which covers the last three months, and I couldn’t believe how much younger she looked just three months ago! Our little girl is getting so big! We love you more and more each day, Campbell!!

Here are her stats!

• Weight: 24.2 lbs (50th percentile)

 

• Height: 33.5″ (95th percentile)

• Dancing Queen: Campbell LOVES to dance. Just mention “dance party,” which Sam requests nightly, and she starts bouncing up and down!

• Talking a lot these days! It seems like she is imitating us more and expanding her vocabulary. She has also recently started putting two words together. Her favorites are “Hi, Daddy” or “Bye-bye, Daddy!” Some of her words are: hi, bye, mommy, Daddy, Sam (yam), up, yummy, baby, more, please, thank you, helicopter, airplane, apple, pineapple, Henry, hot, hat, water (wawa), broccoli, night-night, outside, cheese, cracker. She can’t say Campbell (although sometimes it seems like she is trying to say it but it comes out as dah-tee) so she always refers to herself as baby, which is so cute.

(This is Campbell pointing to a helicopter and saying “hacata!”)

• Says “cheese” almost anytime you take a picture of her.

• Gets mad when I don’t let her do what she wants to do, but is easy to distract. (Sometimes taking selfies helps!!)

• Loves to point to herself and say “baby” and then to me and say “mommy.” And repeat. Again and again. (This video is a precursor to the pointing thing!)

• Loves her big brother. They have really started being able to play with each other and make each other laugh. It’s pretty cute!

• But she’s also a little afraid of her brother. If she is holding a special toy and Sam walks towards her she runs as fast as she can in the opposite direction–he’s been known to take a toy or two from her. We’re working on sharing!

• Loves playing with my stuff, especially bracelets/watches, sunglasses, chapstick, purse, medicine bottles.

• Sleep: Campbell is officially down to one nap (1:30-4/4:30) and it is awesome! I feel like we have so much freedom now! And she is sleeping great at night too (8-8 most days).

• Does NOT like baths! She usually cries for most of bath time and refuses to sit down in the tub. This is so different from Sam, who always loved baths!! She also doesn’t love the pool, but has gotten a little more used to it over the summer. She will play a little in the baby pool but when we go to the big pool she clings onto me like a monkey!

• Obsessed with our phones! She can even swipe to see more pictures. She can also take pictures of herself.

• Likes hiding under the table, which inevitably ends with her standing up and hitting her head on the table. Ouch!

• Seems to be having a growth spurt and has been out-eating Sam at almost every meal! She isn’t too picky lately, which has been nice. She loooooves smoothies.

• Campbell really likes her hair bows (I think because her straight hair falls right in her face) and often asks us to put multiple bows in her hair!

• Here are some more cute photos from the last few months!
