At 18 months, you are now about 30 lbs, and wearing 2T clothes.
Our daily schedule looks like this:
7:00 You wake up, mommy comes and talks to you in your crib for a few minutes, trying to convince you to let me change your diaper.
7:30 We come downstairs and you fuss until mommy gets your milk and banana. We eat on the couch. Playtime.
8:00 Breakfast
8:20 Playtime
9:00 Mommy gets ready in the bathroom while you play with my jewelry, hair gel, make up, your babies, and books
9:30 We go upstairs to get you changed, hair, tooth brushing and face washed. We read a few books in your room.
10:30- Nap time (or if its a work day for mommy, this is when you go to school)
11:30 Lunch
12:15 We go out to play somewhere. A playground, library, mall, etc.
3:00 Short nap (you are still in transition to one nap)
4:00 Wake up and play in play room for a bit.

My special little sweetheart, you're personality is growing! You are so sweet; you love to help mommy throw things in the trash and make the bed. You try to follow directions as much as possible.
You love to play and dance. Closing the door and locking mommy out of the bathroom is hilarious.
You are terrified of bugs.
You are officially off bottles! Thanks to grandma's urging.
You love sign language and get frustrated when you can't sign for something. You use "more, milk, all done, mom, dad, book". You also pat your diaper when it's dirty.
You say words: "dada, Dow (dog), baby, moo, quack, nana (banana), ki (kitty), dow (down), coh (close), bowbow (ball), baba (cracker), juju (juice), doo (door) bobo..." You repeat yourself a lot. You call me "baby".
You cry when daddy comes home and kisses you even though you talk about him all day.
At night time you will blow kisses and wave to daddy as he leaves the room. After he's gone, you lay your head on my shoulder and still wave your hand behind you.
You LOVE your babies and have started sleeping with them. You also love balls.
Around 17 months, you had a few weeks when you didn't cry at all, but now you're fussy again and chewing your fingers a lot. Maybe 2-year molars are coming early? You've had 2 ear infections that we know of, in the last 6 months.
You love to go outside and will sometimes start walking to the park down the street by yourself when we get home.
We love you so much!! I hope this new baby doesn't change you! You're also starting a new daycare soon and I'm worried about that!
On another note, this new baby's c-section is scheduled for 6/21/13! Names as options are Penelope, Lainey, Lyla, and (new one) Cecilia ("Cece"). We are not even close to ready for her to come!
