Willow-Beano

Willow is SO my daughter. She loves jewelry and accessories. This was her ensemble for the day :)

This is her new "camera" smile. Reminds me of Aspen at about 2 years old.

Willow is at such a fun age right now. I love the 1 to 2 year age span. So much of their personality is emerging, and we are finally past teething and sleeping through the night. Speaking of that, at 16 months, Willow has all her teeth except her two year molars. I am SO happy to be done with the teething. She is so much easier and happier now that we are past that.

Willow is our little clown. She loves to find funny hats, buckets, bowls, whatever to put on her head and clown around to get as many laughs as possible. She loves to be in the middle of any action around the house, and especially loves to wrestle with Daddy. It's tougher for her to get Aspen and Journey to include her in their play, though. She wants to play with them, but they don't love playing with her at this point. Hopefully that will change as she gets a little older and less destructive :)

She's starting to say more words, and really wants to talk. Here are some of the words she knows right now:

Mama, Mommy, Dada, Daddy, Bubba, cheese, all done, all gone, more, nana (banana), Nana, Papa, thank you, please

She "talks" so much, that I'm a little worried for my sanity once she is actually able speak. :)

And one other thing, she's been throwing a lot less fits in the last few weeks. Not sure if this is a permenant thing, but I'm thankful!
