Isn't she something?  How we love our little Felicity, everyone does!  Maria in particular has gotten very cute with her lately, showing her how to do stuff, etc.  I wouldn't say she's the most patient teacher ever, and sometimes she is a little intense:

But overall she is nice and loves her so much, as do we all.  Felicity will be 18 months old on April 10 and she is right where she should be, I'm guessing.  She has some words, maybe 10?  They asked on her 18 Month Old Evaluation thing I am supposed to fill out for her appointment with the pediatrician.  She says Mama and Daddy, Water, Banana, Bread, Cookie, Me, No, Bee (for Max and Ruby), maybe that's it.  She points at everything, her receptive language is really good.  

God knows she climbs on stuff.  She is always, always climbing on the table, the chairs, the stairs, the beds, the furniture, everywhere.  She is everywhere all the time.  She wants to walk down the stairs like a regular person and she wants to do it while she is carrying stuff in both hands.  She terrifies me.  I don't want to hold her back but I can't have her falling down the stairs, which were built in 1963 I think maybe expressly to kill small children.  When I think about those soft, cute stairs I had in my old house I want to cry.  I should have appreciated them more!  

She is sleeping well, she has a permanent runny nose which could be there because of a cold or because she's been getting teeth.  It could also be because we've had the heat blaring in our house for the last six months or whenever this horrible winter started.  

She still drinks a little bit of water from a bottle before she takes her one nap or goes to bed.  I can't see that being a problem, so I'm not worried.  I bought her some new cloth diapers and I really like them.  For some reason, the Fuzzi Bunz weren't working for her so I bought some Bum Genius and they are great.  Also, they are SUPER cute, I'll put up some pictures.  This one is my favorite, mostly because I love  black clothes on a baby.  

So - almost 18 months, sweet as ever, perfect in every way, looking forward to spring.
