Amber is 16 months

Oh, how times flies. It is so hard for me to believe that my little princess is nearing 1 1/2 years. Wow.
She is a talker with a number of words in her vocab, but some that only a mommy or daddy can interpret!
· All done
· Meeee (and points to something that she wants)
· Doddy (doggy)
· Daddy or Dada
· Mommy or MaMa (now sometimes Joe is mommy and Andrea is Daddy, but she usually gets it right)
· Hi and Buh Bye (with a wave)
· mo mi (more milk)
· baby (blanket)
· ashee (ashley - teacher at daycare)
· essica (jessica - teacher at daycare)
· ni ni (night night)
· nods "yes" and "no," and sometimes says no
· Nonna
· Grandpa
· outside
She is a great sleeper, and goes to bed with ease. You say, "time to put your jammies on" and Amber nods her head and goes toward her room. You say, "time for bed", she says "ni ni" and starts waving.
She still loves to take baths, but they are short ones because she refuses to sit down in the bathtub! She hates to have her nails clipped and her teeth brushed.
She adores her big sister, but she still does not share mommy's or daddy's lap! If Leah is sitting with mommy or daddy, Amber is right over there screaming at Leah and then usually starts to pull her hair and/or push her out of the way.
She is getting into everything these days. Nothing is safe anymore. She is a climbing machine! She can crawl onto the kitchen table in seconds and then she looks at you and giggles with an adorable smile.
She is working on 3 more teeth - 15 total now. She really has been an easy teether. She is a stubborn one...as one daycare teacher put it "I have learned, Amber gets what Amber wants unless it is dangerous."
She loves to play outside. She was a little hesitant at first on the grass, but this has faded as we get to spend more time outside. She really loves to swing. She has even taken a short nap in the swing!
She has graduated to sitting at the table in a booster seat with a tray. We did attempt for her to eat off of the table, but that was just a mess. Will try again soon. Right now, she seems happy with just being at the table with the rest of us!
She eats all table food now, no more baby food for this toddler. She is a great eater and not at all picky like her big sister. Her favorite foods seem to be bananas and (oh no) chocolate! She is getting better at using a spoon and a fork. She still likes to dump her food if it is served on a plate or in a bowl. She is a full fledged toddler, even graduated to the toddler room at daycare in May. She has had a few firsts since that last update:
· First time meeting the Easter bunny
· First time walking for March for Babies
· First time at Adventure Park
· First wedding shower
· First Pedicure (at daycare) - Leah just loved that Amber's nails were painted!
She loves to dance and listen to music She likes to sit on your lap and read a book (for a brief moment) as she typically does not sit still. She likes anything she can bang. She still puts everything in her mouth. Oh, and did I mention that she likes to climb!
She has the most precious smile and laugh!

Addendum:
She also says Pease (please)
She points to her nose when asked "where is Amber's nose"
She blows kisses (adorable)!
