Vivian Rose Bowman

It is official today. Vivian is now 18 months old. I can't believe how fast time flies. She has grown up so much. She has lots of new words. My favorite is when she askes for a movie. She comes up to me and says, "Moovieee. Moovieee." and while she's saying it, she's usually doing her version of sign language for please. I can't help but give into it because it's just so cute. She loves sitting on the couch with her blanket and sucking her thumb while she watches TV.

She's been singing "Ee-i-ee-i-o" for awhile now, but more recently she has started trying to sing the Alphabet Song. So she starts out by singing, "Ee-i-ee-i-O, P [mumbles the next few letters to the tune] Now [more mumbling] A B Ce" And then she claps and cheers. It's so cute. This morning she also started doing Itsy Bitsy Spider a little bit. She'll put all her fingers together way up high and say "Spi" and then fold her arms as far as she can. Then she'll open them up real fast (for the washing the spider out part) and then she'll do her fingers together up high again.

The grow up so fast. Here are a few pictures of the things she has been doing lately.

She can eat cake.
She can wear a back pack.

She can read books.
She can put her doll nigh' night.

She can dangle.

She can wear hats.

She can build.

She can cook.

She can spin with daddy.

She can feed daddy.

She can share snacks with her brother.

She can clap after putting a dirty pretzel in the garbage.

She can bite her brothers finger.

She can blow kisses.

And she can still suck her thumb and twirl her hair.

She is my Super Girl and I love her very much. I am so proud to be her mother and that she is so smart and tall unlike me. Happy 1 1/2 Vivian.
