Marianne reached the 16 month mark on June 5. She is talking a lot...she learns lots of new words everyday. She tries to say Evelyn (a mixture of an onion sound and ellaa) and she can say Marianne. It is pretty cute. She can count to 10 (she misses the number 8 but chimes back in with 9 and 10). She also chimes in on the ABC song. She now has 5.5 teeth! Her back right bottom molar came in at 16 months, and the front bottom right on the side is on its way in too. She is sleeping about 12-12.5 hours a night and takes 1.5-2 hours of nap (1 or 2) each day. She has now fallen into a swimming pool 3 times, twice into the kiddy pool and once in the big pool. We are always right there beside her - she likes to walk around and she just topples into the pool. She likes to swing and can climb the ladder to slide by herself. She likes to put things in and out, again and again and again. If Evelyn is crying or upset, Marianne will look up and say "Happy? Sad?" and make her cute faces.
The weekend she turned 16 months, we took a Saturday morning hike to the ruins at Solstice Canyon. We had a great time. The wagon crossed the creek twice and it was a little bumpy at times, but it worked out.
Evelyn was very proud to have climbed this rock by herself.
Brian and Marianne by the waterfalls. She loved looking at the falls, but did not understand why she could not climb on the rocks by herself (remember how she seems to just fall in the pool? We were cautious here).
Here is a picture of Brian and Evelyn at the same spot when Evelyn was 14.5 months old...Good memories.
I know I am behind on posts, more to come!
