18 Months!

CeCe at 18 months:


Number of words she can say-lost count about 2 months ago when we hit 100.....I would guess between 200-250 now. It is amazing to me!


Favorite foods-raisins (which she calls bobays for some unknown reason), cheese, watermelon and broccoli. She is still a great eater but we have a hard time getting her to eat much meat.


Favorite book-Anything Sesame Street or Little People


Favorite song- She doesn't request any songs yet but Twinkle Twinkle Little Star is our night night song and You are My Sunshine calms her down if she gets hurt.

Favorite toys- She loves to wear beads. We have about 30 strands of Mardi Gras beads and she loves to put them all on at once. She also loves to cook in her kitchen. She will stir away, then bring us a taste of what she has made.

Favorite TV shows- Word World and Sesame Street

Sleep - Right now she is a rock star sleeper! She goes to bed around 7:15 and sleeps until 6:45-7:15! She naps from about 1:30-3:30 every afternoon.

Her imagination has taken off! She pretends to cook in her kitchen, change her baby doll's diapers and take her babies on walks. CeCe LOVES her big brother! She has started calling him Bryce Duke or Brycie Duke and it makes me laugh every time! She is missing him now that school has started back. It is so funny to watch her try and copy what he does....good and bad! On the way home from school today I caught Bryce with his finger in his nose and not two seconds later she was doing the same thing with a huge grin on her face!

When she had that awful stomach virus in November she got really attached to her pacifier (or her ME as she calls it) and I'm having a hard time with that. By this age Bryce only had his in the bed for night or nap time and it was very easy to break him of the habit at his second birthday. She asks for it alot now and I've been giving it to her because of trips/holidays, etc. After our trip in 2 weeks to Orlando (Busch Gardens and Sea World!!!!) I'm going to restrict it to her bed only. I know it will be hard on all of us for a while, but hopefully we can get back to where we were with ME use!

She brightens our life everyday with her sweet voice, happy go lucky personality, wonderful hugs, and the best cuddles we could ever ask for. Our little baby is growing up!!!


Playing with Bryce Taking off her shoes.....something she does 100 times each day!
Sweet girl!
With her ME and Lambie, her #1 lovie
And I took this last night. Bryce and Anthony always lay on this pallet to read books before bed. Last night he left to get something and Reagan jumped in his spot! He was nice enough to share with her :)

I cannot believe she says that many words. Think she can teach Emmy a thing or two? Emmy copies everything Trenten does too. Big Brothers are the best!

I just love reading about what CeCe is doing and looking forward to the Plum doing it in a couple months. But he only has like 10 words so I think we are a little behind there. She is so precious!
