17 Months old! (Well... almost)

I cannot believe my girl is nearly 17 months old!  She has become VERY independent over the last couple of months and has recently started to throw temper tantrums!  I am sure we will get through this stage soon!  Anna's language has exploded!  She tells you what she wants and will use both words and signs!  She also loves to tell the dog (Pepper) what to do!  It is funny & cute!  I am loving this age even though the tantrums do wear me down some days. 

Anna has been in daycare most of the summer as we in a car accident on June 4 and I have had to go to physical theropy for back and neck issues.  I think it has been good for her.  I am so thankful her daycare has worked with us and has let me have her in on the weeks we are in town.  I love her daycare and so thankful for them! 

On another note, At Anna's 15 month check up her ped. and I had a long conversation about keeping her rear facing or flipping her forward facing.  We decided to keep her rear facing till she is 18 months.  Our accident was 5 days before she turned 16 months and the EMTs told me she had no injeries because she was rear facing and in a good sturdy (Britax) convertable seat!  (I had just taken her out of her Graco 32 infant seat too!) So needless to say.. she will be rear facing till 2 now!  Luckly she has short legs!  and she has always been rear facing so she does not mind. 

Later this month we are going up to NY to visit my parents.  I bit the bullet and bought her her own seat this trip.  She is not into sitting on mommy's lap for long periods (it is a 2 hr. 20 min flight).  I was lucky to get a good deal!  Both our tickets cost as much together as I was getting quotes for on the delta web site.. I have discovered Delta vacation packages (thanks to a great travel agent!) I always have to rent a car so when you bundle it saves A LOT!  We are having MG Photography do photos when we are up there so I am excited for Anna to have photos done w/ my parents!  I will post them when I get the CD!
