Her body is also getting so long! She is an inch taller than Millie was at 18 mos old. Interesting that she was 2 inches shorter than Millie at a year. She's had quite the growth spurt over these past 6 months, and sadly, Millie's hand-me-downs no longer work because the season doesn't match up (and Syd is a tad fluffier). She's wearing size 24 mos in most stuff now. She's still amazing at taking naps (can't quite shake that morning nap yet) and going to bed at night. She still uses a paci in her bed, but she has no problem going without it during the day. She's officially off of bottles and onto sippy cups, and she's also fully onto regular milk-based formula now. This means we can start slowly adding in whole milk to transition; it's such a long process. She's had 3 more teeth come in this past couple of weeks: lower right lateral incisor and both lower first molars. I think that's all that's come in, but getting a look at her teeth is extremely hard. She's stronger than she looks. We'll find out for sure at her 18 month checkup.
She's been talking so much lately. She can imitate most things we ask her to say, but the big news is that she's been saying a lot of stuff on her own. She now says Thank You in the correct context! She is great at animal sounds, and she loves most any book that shows animals. And the cutest thing ever is that she loves to walk around saying monkey...over and over. Video: Syd says monkey

Sunday was her half-birthday, and since it was snowy and cold all weekend, we needed a family outing. Chuck E. Cheese made both girls happy (which is code for "a little insane"), and Chuck E. even brought over a cake for Syd's half-birthday! She was sort of confused, but he didn't seem to scare her.
