Hannah is 18 months old! I see 18 months maybe as a milestone because you do a well-check at 18 months, or because I was 18 months old when my sister came home from the hospital (no wonder Dad doesn't remember anything about that time), or maybe just because we are just no longer a baby but a walking talking little girl!
That's right, this 18 month old who weighs 26lbs is a fascinating little girl that is extremely smart and very well natured. She can follow any command, loves to help clean up, runs but still toddles, and talks with very clear words. I was a little concerned at her last well check when her doctor said she needed to have between 30 and 50 words by 18 months. We have well achieved that, she repeats almost anything we say! She puts two words together, can name and point to all of her body parts, has figured out that she has a choice which is usually "No", is wonderful at saying please and thank you, knows exactly what time out is and when she must use it, loves to eat, loves to share our food by saying "bite, please", loves Elmo but only in the car, can count to 3, knows a couple of letters, loves milk, loves chocolate, loves Popsicles, still sucks her thumb, has gorgeous lightening curls, loves to tell people we do not know hi and bye bye, loves dogs, loves shoes (especially mine), sits in her highchair until everyone is done eating and must say "All done" before getting out, is fascinated with babies (that's good!), adores her grandparents, must use a word even if it is just "please" to get something (no whining or "ehhhs"), still generally naps twice a day and sleeps an average of 13-14 hours a night, loves to be outside and loves bubbles, and is very curious and imaginative.
It amazes me what a difference 15 to 18 months makes. I look back at pictures of her first birthday where she wasn't walking or talking and she is just such a baby. I am absolutely in love with this stage in her life. Her little voice, her little hands and feet, that huge smile, and how much she loves and interacts with us!

What a doll baby! I mean...can she get any cuter...or look ANY more like her momma?!?! Wow...she seems like such a little grown up! I'm pretty sure Coop won't have 30-50 words by 18 months! Geez...we better get a crack-a-lackin'!!
Well, great news. You and Stuart make great-looking kiddos. (I'm assuming Baby Boy Yeager will be just as handsome as Hannah is beautiful!) She is SO precious, Jen. Looks like a fun age!!
What!? She still takes two naps and sleeps 14 hours at night! That is a treat.. not a normal thing for 18 months old! Hannah is beautiful, her smile is so contagious! She is going to be a good big sister and I am impressed she can count!!
