16 months old

Ananya is no longer a baby, she's a big girl! She walks/runs EVERYWHERE, is so curious about everything, and has nonstop energy. This is such a fun age! She can point to different parts of her body (hair, head, eye, ear, nose, tongue, teeth, tummy, knee, and foot), although she does sometimes get eye/ear and tummy/knee confused. She is starting to finally love stuffed animals, and loves giving them hugs and sharing her bottle of milk with them. As much as I love putting hair clips and bows in her hair, she loves taking them off :) She's getting a little vain - anytime I put a hair clip or a new outfit on her, she immediately runs to the mirror to check herself out! (I say it's because she's her father's daughter, but Pooneet thinks she gets it from me!) She laughs a lot now, oftentimes cracking herself up. She definitely has a sense of humor - she'll pretend to offer you a snack and as she's putting the snack in your mouth, she'll quickly bring it back to her mouth instead! She just started walking backwards, and claps for herself when she does so. And she's crazy about books - she picks out a book, will climb into your lap, and then have you read it to her. And then she'll repeat this 20 times. Fun, funny girl!
