paisley – 18 months old

Even though I’ve been telling people Paisley is 18-months for several weeks, our girl is officially a year and a half and boy, is life never dull with her.

Likes:

  • Eating anything and everything
  • Being carried around
  • Walking / Running
  • Being tickled
  • Books
  • Shoes
  • Getting dressed

Dislikes:

  • Being left in the church’s nursery
  • Not getting her way
  • Big Sisters being too rough

Food:

Food has never been a problem with Paisley, and we often joke that Paisley could eat more with no teeth than either of the big girls who have all their teeth ;P Girl loves to eat!

So far she is our least picky eater but she seems to be currently obsessed with muffins, fruit, PB&J and meat.

Sleep

Once we moved, we didn’t put on the railing on her crib to see how she would do. She fell out a couple times but we quickly agreed she was ready for a big girl bed. She’s currently sleeping on the bottom bunk in the girls’ room and absolutely loves it (and hasn’t fallen out once!).

For a long time she went down at 6pm, but after two weeks of waking up between 3-5am, I pushed her bedtime to see if that would help. She now goes down between 7:30-8pm and wakes up between 6:30-7:30am the next morning.

She gets one nap a day starting between 11 & 12pm and wakes up between 2-3pm.

Life:

Paisley took her time walking, but once she got the hang of it, Girlfriend was running!

Paisley loves doing and being with her big sisters. She usually wants to do what they are doing and gets very frustrated (tearful) when she’s not included. She enjoys her physical space being invaded until she’s had enough and the big girls have had to learn that Paisley screaming is her current way of asking them to stop.

I absolutely love watching her play on her own though <3 she is very motherly to all stuffed animals + baby dolls.

She is my biggest troublemaker and is so busy – rarely stopping from running, walking or some kind of physical movement. Unlike her big sisters, she is regularly getting into mischief (with the same things).

Me:

My first thought is she exhausts me (haha) but she is still my sweet baby Paisley too. Her sweetness seems further spaced than when she was an infant, but it’s still there. I call her “my sour-patch-kid” because “first she’s sour and then she’s sweet” ;P
