Ashlyn- 16 Months

Ashlyn is developing quite the personality. She is very independent, energetic, and caring. She's running her mouth all the time now, though it's in her own language a lot of the time. I would guess that she can say over 100 words now and a couple of phrases. She likes to say "I don't know" which she has been using all the time when we're looking at a picture and we ask her something like, "where's the whale?" She'll look and if she can't find it she'll say "I don't know".

She can finish a simple puzzle (5-8 pieces), and somewhat eat with a fork. What we've noticied about her is that she's very mechanically minded. She wants to figure out how things fit together all the time, like the buckles on the car seat and stroller, puzzles, and pulling things apart and putting them back together.

She walks and runs quite easily now and loves the park, especially the slide. She still loves to dance and sometimes we'll have a dance party, like we did last night in the kitchen. She pushed the button on one of her toys that plays music and Ramon, Ashlyn and I danced for about 15 minutes. Here are pictures of Ashlyn from the last 2 months.
