Stinker's 18 months

Ashley has turned 18 months. I think that is a big milestone for Scott and I because it means NURSERY! I can't tell you how nice it is to be able to sit and listen to the lesson in church. Ashley is such a busy body and she loves being in nursery where she can wander and play to her hearts content. Let me give you some updates on our little one. She weighs 20 lbs and is 31.5 inches long. You probably noticed the title of the post. Her nickname is Stinker. She is into everything and is called that probably ten times a day. When I took her into the doctor, they asked how much TV she watched and I could honestly tell them not even 1 minute. She just goes. She loves to climb and jump off stuff (just like her daddy who broke his collarbone that way). She is such a helper. She will say the prayer (in her own language) and fold her arms the whole time. She has a nose wiping fetish and if we can't see or hear her, we know she's snuck into the bathroom and unrolled the whole roll of tissue or emptied all the wipes just to blow her nose. That has prompted us to close the bathroom door. She helps me go to the bathroom by giving me my toilet paper and trying to pull up my pants (a little too much info but true). She will bring me my shoes and anything else she thinks I need to get dressed. She loves kisses and is learning how to be soft when she touches you. She is still a big eater especially when 5 o'clock rolls around, but is starting to be a little bit more picky. She loves Paige and imitates everything she does. Paige still isn't receptive to that but we're working on it. She still isn't a big talker but she can say Jesus and a few other words when prompted. She knows where her nose, ears, eyes and hands are. She is starting to make more animal noises and loves seeing live animals like dogs and cats. She knows when she's in trouble and will run away really fast from us when we come after her. She makes us laugh (even when we shouldn't) all the time. She has an extremely radiant smile and we are so lucky to have this amazing girl in our family. Now to see how she'll do with a new addition!
