She's 18 months- wow!

So Julia just turned 18 months and boy is she! I'm just intrigued by hEr and her intensity in life. She has begun to craft and for this Vday actually made the grandparents cards and window ornaments:-) She definately has an opinion and is miss independent! She insists on Doing things herself although she still has plenty of moments where she needs me and I'm good with that. She is a bright shining light in my life but in do many others. She just emits this vibe that just brightens everyone it seems. She doesn't know a stranger when it comes to kids and women ( men beware she is very weary of you and I hope it stays that way). So what is wild woman doing now??

What She's doing Now:
Counts to 3 from rote memory
Identifies animals, colors and common items verbally
Puts puzzle pieces in correct location
Loves to babble - I wonder what she is saying?
Tries to sound out words when asked
Stacks 3+ blocks
Kick the ball really well - she's a soccer star in the making!
Puts items in baskets and cleans up when asked
Very independent- carries her own bookbag and lunchbag into
school
Can put her shoes on and take off coat then hang on hook / trying to put clothes on and take off
Imitates people , cars and animals
Starting to independently eat with fork
Laughs with other people
Finally drinking through a straw cup
Words she is saying: yellow, school,
Favorite things: Sesame St, Yo Gabba Gabba, stickers, dancing, shoes big & small, sushi (california roll),
Holds books and acts as if she's reading
Sings / hums
Dances with music
