18 Months old and SURPRISE...

I'M NOT PREGNANT!!!
I know that my not sound like a big deal to any of you, but usually when I have an 18 month old, I'm announcing I'm pregnant. But I'm not and truthfully, I'm good with it! This is how I know I'm DONE! I loooove being pregnant but I don't think my tired old body could handle another pregnancy or C-Section. I don't think my mind and insanity could handle another baby. I guess that means game over! Time to move out of the baby stage and onto water skiing and snow skiing trips without having to worry about babies! It's a good thing...right? All I can say is that it's a good thing Miss B. was baby #4 cause if she would have showed up as baby #1, she may have been an only child. She is so darling and funny but man oh man she is giving me a run for my money. She is into everything, hates her car seat, and wants to be held ALL THE TIME. These are difficult things when there are 3 others who need just as much if not more attention. I can't turn my back for even a second without her emptying the dishwasher, dryer, bathroom drawers or kitchen cabinets. As quick as I put things away she is into something else. I think she secretly has eight arms but I've only seen 2 of them. She has quite the vocabulary right now. She answers "yes" or "no" to tell us what she needs. Whenever she opens the back door she says, "cold" and pulls her arms into her chest and does a shivering motion. I swear I hear her say "chicken" and "turkey" and "sandwich" but who knows. She refuses to sit in her high chair to eat. It's always on my lap or not eat at all. Her favorite foods are pancakes, anything sweet like cupcakes, cookies, candy, bean burros (preferably El Charro), cheese crisps, sandwiches, and ice cream. Healthy...I know! Miss B. is waaaay more independent then any of my boys were at this age, yet just as needy. She is addicted to her binky which she is only allowed to have at night at nap time. She loves all things girly yet she is rough and rowdy like the others. She loves jumping on the trampoline and dancing when music comes on. She loves to read books and get into her brothers' DSI and Legos. We love this Tasmanian Devil and can't wait to see what the next 6 months bring. Just so I won't forget, at 18 months:
weight: 21.4 lbs (10%)
height: 31.5 inches (44%)
head circumference: 17.9 inches (22%)

Recieved DTaP, HIB, PV, Prevnar shots
(FYI: didn't EVEN cry once. Just a little flinch and she was outta there.)
