18 Months

I've had still more computer issues. It seems like it's never-ending. I saved these pictures to the post, but haven't been able to add captions until now. We're due for 19 months in a few days!! So I'll do it quick, before the wifi signal drops! 
Lydia had her 18 month appointment with Dr. Garg this past month and she was 31" tall and 21# (and some change). She's definitely now a toddler. For her 1/2 birthday, I painted her toenails for the first time. She LOVED that, and we did them again a few days later. For the 4th of July, I did the stars and stripes pedicure and she sat SOO still! haha Perhaps she will be a bit girly:-) Oh, and most importantly, this month, SHE SAID MOMMY! She just did it one day when she was on the changing table, and now she says it all the time! Usually repeatedly, with a whine...sigh.
I used a borrowed camera for this shoot...not sure if we'll buy it. She posed so nicely...notice the "cheese" on the left there...but I didn't really like the lighting. Flash wouldn't turn off, so sharp shadows everywhere.

She's either hot or cold when it comes to pictures, smiling or sober and you never know what you're going to get!

I love her "concentration face". The little worry wrinklies over her eyebrows.

And oh, the faces Abram pulls!

We resorted to making funny faces...

in order to finally get a good one!
