The other day I was thinking, I’m pretty sure that 18 months old is the best it’s going to get. I think Kayden is at the all time perfect age! She can communicate… but she can’t talk back. She is mobile… but she’s not a risk taker. In fact, i can leave her on the counter or at the top of the stairs and not worry she’ll go tumbling down. I wouldn’t do these things, but I know I could! She’s in love with me and follows me around the house. She laughs at my jokes and let’s me tickle her. She has the most infectious laugh!! She plays with the dogs… and they don’t mind her chasing after them with their bone screaming and running after them! She remembers everyone in our family and shows a unique affection for each and every person. She is absolutely at the best age ever!!

One of Kayden’s obsessions right now is make up. I have to sit on the floor when I put my face on and Kayden rummages through my pathetic stash of make up and has so much fun! She absolutely loves ‘lipstick’, which is a tasty chapstick. She gets very upset when I have to take it away because it’s in her eye brows and all across her face! Her new need is to sit in my lap while I am putting my face on. This honestly adds about 30 minutes to my mourning routine, but I think it’s sweet!
