(double click to enlarge picture)

I know I say this every time I post one of these, but I will say it again. Seriously, where does the time go...my baby is 20 months! Amber is such a darling. She has a magnetic smile as well as a mischievous one!


Here are some of what she has been up to:

**Her vocabulary is growing daily...she has so many words now that I have stopped recording the new ones. She says 2-3 word combinations as well

**Climbs on everything! She still loves to climb

**Adventurous

**Keeps moving, does not like to stay put for too long, but you can have short cuddle sessions **Walking down the steps with railing or hand hold

**Finally sitting in the tub, still hates having her nails clipped

**Sleeps great (about 11 hours at night and 2 hour nap)

**Starting to distinguish animals...if she does not know what the animal is, she now calls it an "animal" (all animals are no longer "puppy")

**Can bark and meow when asked what a dog or cat says

**loves her blankets!

**Loves to play with her big sister and tries to mimic her big sister!

**Usually a very good eater, she is not a picky one - favorite still is sweets: especially chocolate!

**wears 24 month clothing

**brushes her own teeth

**washes her hands

**tells you "poo poo" and sometimes "pee pee," starting to practice sitting on the potty chair (no, she has not had a success yet)

**starting to put some easy puzzles together and recognizing some colors

**loves to sing, does gestures for "itsy bitsy spider," "bumble bee," "wheels on the bus," and more. Asks for "itsy" and "bee" often!

**likes to color with her big sister. She is pretty tough on those poor crayons (likes to pound them into the paper

**DADDY'S girl!!

**loves to be outside

**still possessive of mommy and daddy's lap

**mastered zippers, can take off her coat, can take of shoes and socks (usually in the car when we would prefer she keep them on), working on taking off her shirt (overhead)

**loves to buckle buckles

**MESSY eater!!
**gives the best hugs and kisses!!
