18 month Bethany

Bethany is busy. She loves to climb, wear shoes- especially if they are ones other people want to be wearing, playing in water, eating sand, trying to be big like Daryl and Ruth. She also love to be on the tables or counter tops. I think this is my doing. When my arms get tired of holding her or packing her around or I need to use both hands for something I set her down. The closest place that makes her the happiest is the counter, so that is usually where she lands. The floor generally makes her mad, but because of this she likes to be on tables and counters much more than she should.
Her favorite thing to do during family prayer is to go around exposing the gap between everyone's pants and shirts while kneeling down and blow raspberries on their lower back. It makes it a little harder to be reverent during prayers when that is happening.
She likes nursery once she is there; she just isn't too happy to be left there especially if I am the one dropping her off.
Her eyes were blue like her dad and sisters but they have gone more hazel the last little while. It is very pretty, and she has amazing eyelashes.
She has had more ear infections than any of my other kids.
I am hoping once her teeth are all in that will help.
She loves books, and writing on paper and lots of things she shouldn't, like computer screens. She also loves to be on the desk. Also playing in the dog's water dish when she can get to it is something she thinks is super fun.
She loves to be outside and just goes and goes until I make her stop by putting her in the car seat or something and then after some protesting she is usually out.
We are so glad she is here to keep us on our toes
