14 months old and BUSY!

My sweet girl turned 14 months old on the 20th and she is interested in everything! This is such a fun age, and she is learning so much. She understands almost all of my verbal instructions and is getting a little better at verbally communicating as well. She is able to make noises if I say "What does the duck say"...kak kak; doggy - arf arf; bird - weet weet; horse - naaaayyyy; bunny - she 'tries' to hop and makes some funny noise; monkey - ew ew ew ah ah ah. She's too funny! Here she's modeling her anklet. Pretty stylish.
She's started coloring with markers, but she'd rather just take the lids off and on and draw on herself. Yes, they are washable. And chalk - she just wants to see how many pieces she can carry at a time.

The Hydro Fair. We were pretty disappointed this year. Supposedly the train derailed 3 times, so it was shut down. And then we were standing in line for the carousel and it broke down. So, she rode the old-fashion cars. She had a blast with daddy.
You know it's an old fair when all of the rides are held together by 4x4s. Yikes.

The Latest

Just some fun pictures of what Miss Priss has been up to lately. She loves jewelry; her new favorite thing is to put any piece of jewelry on her ankle. Necklace, bracelet, ring, earing - either dangle or stud - goes on her foot and/or ankle. It's quite interesting to sit and watch. She also is extremely independent and enjoys feeding herself. I think I have my work cut out for me!
