18 months and 3 months

We have hit two milestones with Allie and Berkley within the last few weeks. Allie is now 18 months old and Berkley is 3 months old. Allie is growing up so much. She repeats everything we say and is starting to use words in sentences. (Brian and I really have to be careful now). She is interested in going to the potty, and thinks she can do anything. She is so independent, loves to be outside, her favorite foods consist of fruit,waffles, and cheerios. (This is what she wants to eat when we ask her.) She is a definite people person, is extremely observant and learns quickly. She loves baby dolls and pushing them in strollers, she enjoys any type of ball ,(throwing or kicking it) and adores any animal or fish. When she really likes something she will say "______ hold you". Example: "Fish, hold you". Or "Vacuum, hold you." We crack up and try to explain that the fish cant hold her, or the truck next to us at the stoplight is not able to hold her either. But it especially warms my heart inside when she says "momma hold you". I can never say no!!

Some of my favorite words she says:
1. "Stit-ty" = Sticky
2. "Good Girl"
3. "Berkey" = Berkley
4. "Hold-Doo" = Hold you
5. "Peas" =Please
6. "ABCC" =singing her ABC's
7. "Meme and Da-Dad"= Meme and Grandad
8."Skoo" = School
9. Her counting she often says "eight, nine , big grin...TEN!"
10. "Mas" = doing her hand sign for more
11. "ZaZa" = Pizza or Lasangna
12. "Chee-Chos" =Cheerios
13. Any word she adds "INA" to, example: Bobina, Momina, Berkina. It is hillarius.
14. "Bobida" =Pacifer (we still dont know how she came up with this one)
15. "Melmo"= Elmo
16. "Haa-Haa-Haa" =Hot
17. "I sorry" = I am sorry
18. "Ove u" = Love you
19. "Gagen" = Water
20. "No No No"= Cat
21. "Vak-Uuum" = Vacuum
22. "Aa-E, Gace, Be-bol" = Allie Grace Benefield
23. "Ockle B" = Uncle B (Uncle Brandon)
24. "Toyeeee" =Toy
25. "Nema"= Ice Cream
26. "Eee, Eee, Eee"= Wants to write her name. She remembers The last letter.
27. " Liva (Olivia), Tate (Kate), Ew-cy (Lucy), Cokey (Chloe), (A-Vee)Avery= Her Best Friends Names
28. "Cycle" = Motor Cycle


And Miss Berkley is such a little smiler, loves watching her big sister, is starting to enjoy toys, is already eating 7 ounces of milk, loves her pacifier, loves to be held and loved on, has found her hands and is fascinated by them, hates riding in her car seat, stares at the TV, does not like things to be quiet she really prefers sound, loves tummy time, starting to get more hair, and she just so perfectly completes our family. We are so blessed to have two such beautiful and healthy baby girls.
