Blair turned 18 months on Friday, and I walked around sweeping my heart off the floor all day. When the day's work was over, I got her all cleaned up for a night on the town. We went out to our favorite Mexican restaurant, and I decided Blair could have a little treat for her burfday.
Felix says I was overreacting, but it doesn't bother me. I birthed this child, so I have the right to overreact :) We enjoyed our dessert and then hung around for a few pictures. I just love these chunky spunky legs.
I also love me some silly faces. We have a lot of those these days :-)
We are having such a good time with Blair these days watching her grow up. We went today for her check-up, and everything looked great. She weighs 24lbs and 11 oz (50th percentile) and she is 31 inches tall (25th percentile). She is right on track to be my exact heighth! Only 30 more inches to go! We do have a slight issue with Blair walking her toes too much, so Dr. Pip wants us to work on that before coming back to our next appointment.
Blair is talking up a storm and is learning so much every single day. Some of my favorite things she says are "no more monkas jumping on the bed" and "now I know my abc's next time won't you sing with me". These two things pretty much cause my heart to burst. I'd sing whatever she wanted me to at that point! She also says "we're home!!!" everyday when we pull into the driveway and that makes my heart smile too. And Felix REALLY loves it when he walks into the room and Blair says "hey pumpkin!". That makes his heart smile :) On a negative note, Blair did learn that my name was "Tara" a few weeks ago as well as "Mommy." She thought it would be cute to call me "Tara." After a week or so of ignoring it, I think we have kicked the habit. It sure was cute, but I couldn't let her know that :) It is so fun to look back and read these blog posts at each milestone, so I'm sorry if it boring to you. It just happens to make my day every now and then!
We are loving every minute of our Blair-bear, and can't wait for many more memories to come!

You are not boring me one bit! I love to hear all about sweet Blair and watch her grow. Cherish every single little thing she does because it goes by way too fast!
Love all the pics but I need to see all this in person!!! Time for a Blair visit ASAP! (oh, and her mommy too)!
Aww, I just love this post. Such sweetness...
I'm SO excited I get to see Little Miss Precious in person this weekend!! It's been way too long!
Kiss those sweet cheeks! At least if time is not going to slow down for us, you have beautiful pictures to document all of the fun! Miss and love you Verdigets!
sweet girl, i can't wait to see her! and i remember davis calling me claire for a few weeks, lovely!
I could read this 10 more times, it makes ME smile too, Mama! What an angel!!
Happy 18 month birthday, Blairalicious! I swear I could eat her up - along with those legs! I cannot believe she's 18 months old. It just doesn't seem like she should be old enough to be knowing your name is Tara and talking up a storm like she is. God love her! And please do not ever stop making a big deal out of the small stuff. That's what she'll love when she's grown and can look back at this. I'm the queen of over exaggerating everything, but they're only young once! Case in point: last night we had a '1st ever school supply shopping trip party' for Towns complete with homemade sugar cookies and cupcakes. So join the Moms Who Overdo It club and we can be co-founders. I call dibs on rush chair, though! :) Love you!!
PS - Sorry for the novel...you know how stuff like this fires me up!! I live for it!
YOU ABSOLUTELY get to overreact however you want!...I do it all the time:)
