At 18 months, Addison...

-is 32.5" tall (75th percentile)
-weighs 21 lbs (15th percentile)
-wears 18-24 month clothes, although 12 month pants fit her best...they're just way too short!
-still talks mostly in her own language, but says "baby" "what's that" "please" "hi" and "bye" and is starting to repeat random words we say
-loves running around outside in the grass and digging with her little shovel and bucket in the dirt
-can pull herself up on most chairs and couches
-still loves carrying around her babies and build-a-bear
-is starting to really like little figurines. She'll line them up along the coffee table :)
-finally decided that she likes baths again
-brushes her own teeth. She'll sit up on the toilet and point up to her tooth brush
-likes the tv show Fresh Beat Band the most, but also likes Handy Manny, Mickey Mouse Club House, Backyardigans, Sesame Street, and Veggie Tales-only likes to eat at her own little table...at least when she's at home. She'll sit in high chairs at other places, just not at home.
-loves orange juice
-spent the night away from home for the first time at her grandma and grandpa Osborn's house
-is extremely stubborn-usually sleeps from 8 pm to 7 am with about a 2 hour nap during the day
-likes to figure things out on her own. She doesn't like us showing her how to do something
-purposely makes silly faces to make us laugh-still loves playing with pens...especially all of mommy's gel pens! She likes to color too!
-is definitely a mommy's girl, but of course is excited when daddy comes home from work every day!-likes to yell just to be loud :)
-can now reach things on the table and counter so we have to push everything back that we don't want her to get
