16 Months Old

Amaya turned 16 month old on the 12th. Wow! Time really flies by. She is growing up before my eyes. I am convinced she is 16 months old going on 5!

She really never has been interested in toys for her age. She never played with rattles and hates stuffed animals. I bought her a zoo set of Little People. All the moms of kids her age have been raving about them. They say that their Little Ones love playing with them. She doesn't pay attention at all to them. She would rather look at a video of Youtube about the actual animal and learn facts about them. I guess she takes after her mom's nerdiness. :)

Her days are spent reading all kinds of books (even books without pictures). She is also interested in playing with her baby dolls. She feeds them, talks to them, rocks and puts them to sleep and pushes them around in her stroller. She is also going through this phase where she has to have her sparkly pants on and carry her purse with her everywhere. All that she is missing is a pair of high heels. What a girly girl!

Her other favorite past time is dancing. I swear she is going to be a ballerina or hip hop dancer. Her favorite song is "Single Ladies" by Beyonce. She watches that video and she copies the dance moves. It is so cute! We also watch a lot of PBS and they have ballets on there. She likes to copy the ballerinas and turn in a circle and hold her hands up.

Nap times are a pretty hectic time here. She is going through a phase where she doesn't want to take a nap. Usually to get her to sleep, I have to put her on my chest while I am sitting on a recliner. I don't get anything done at all during nap time!

I don't have any new pictures or videos because my rechargeable batteries only last for about 30 seconds and Clint refuses to buy regular batteries.
