Bella update - 16 months

Well, I never really posted an actual update about Bella's milestones and what she's up to these days.

In a nutshell, she's up to EVERYTHING!! She's small, but she's mighty! She keeps me dreaming of a night alone in luxury hotel rooms..................aaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh.

She attempts to say anything we ask her to and repeats things really well. She uses the following words correctly........

Mama (me)
E'mo (this is used constantly, usually while pointing at the laptop wanting to watch the video)
Eat
More
Cracker (her crack!)
Night Night
Bye
Hi
Bella
Book
A'side (outside)
Nanya (this is her word for drink, but we have no clue why and now Hunter is picking it up)
Tee' (for brush teeth)

She signs.....

Outside
Brush teeth

Climb steps to go down the slide
Turn round and round
Put herself to sleep
Use a fork fairly well (stabbing, not scooping)
Climb on the campchair by herself
