Clementine by Numbers

It's official! Clementine is a true toddler now. 18 months old; 100% genius.
18 months is my new favorite age. There are so many fun(ny) things to do with (to) this little lady!

I was going to do another "18 facts about this 18 month old" type blog, but I don't think I have 18 facts!
Let's see how far we get:

1. In the last week, Clementine has learned five new words (go, Kirby, pee-pee, night-night, and bear). Thankfully she is still oblivious to swear words
2. She is 32.5 inches tall
3. She weighs 27.75 lb
4. Her head circumference is off the charts. It's 50 cm! The developmental pediatrician had to be consulted! My head is also larger than average (58 cm) and Cam's is Guiness World Record worthy (64 cm). We had to be measured to make sure this enormous melon is genetic rather than worrisome.
5. Her favorite food is red bell peppers. It's gotten to be such an issue that before heading into the produce aisle I have to give her my keys or a packet of sticky notes to distract her. Once her sights are set on red bell peppers, there is nothing else in this world that matters more.
6. She has started singing and it's so beautiful! She sings like a woeful mariachi band "Aye yi yi yi......aye yi yi yi!!"
7. She knows where her belly button and nose are
8. She knows where my belly button is and likes to show strangers we meet in public this fascinating part of my body
9. She knows what a dog, cat, lizard and duck say
10. She can sign "more," "all done," and "friend". We're working on "please" and "poop"
11. She can kick a ball
12. She can CLIMB!
13. She loves to brush her teeth
14. She has discovered our cat Penny's tail. She has the scratches to prove it
15. She has 12 teeth totally in--three are working their way through the gums
16. She still thinks anything that fits in her hand and has buttons is a telephone. She makes a lot of phone calls--they mostly go like this: "Hello? Hi. Yeah. Hi. Yeah. Yeah." click.
17. She can destroy a shelf full of books in less than 5 seconds
18. She loves food but always seems to want what's on my plate more than she wants what's on her own!

We are so in love with this little bug of ours. She is such a sweetheart and she spreads joy to everyone she meets.
