Oakley is growing up

I havent been very good at writing down the cute things Oakley has been doing lately and I really don't want to forget!! Sooo here are some of the milestones she has hit in the last few months to the best of my memory

Oakley started walking at ten months old, since then she has taken off and turned in to a toddler, its trues, she is no longer a baby :(

She climbs up on the couch and gets her self down
She climbs off of our big bed
she walks up and down the stairs either holding someone's hand or on to a railing
she carries her babies around and feeds them, puts them in her old car seat, and gives them loves and kisses
she knows where her eyes, ears, mouth, nose, teeth, head and hair are
When we ask her to do something she understands and tries to do it, like gets her diaper when she needs a change
when were reading a book and I ask her to point to the dog she does
she sits down and reads her self her books
she can blow her own nose
she folds her arms for prayers
at church she sings along and wavess her arm like she is leading the music
she can sign please and thankyou, and some others
she blows kisses
she gives kisses
she feeds her self with her fork and spoon
she dances when she hears music or when we tell her to
she knows the hand motions to twinkle twinkle little star, five little ducks, five lttle monkeys in the tree, five little monkeys jumping on the bed, and patti cake and tries to sing along
She points to the alphabet letters on the wall and says "B" "C" and "G" on a letter
she loves her shoes and can take them off and can put some of them on depending on the kind of shoe

Uh OH (learned at 8 months) and is still her favorite word and game
She repeats little words I say to her all day it really amazes me

This is what I can remember right now but she is learning and picking up new things everyday. She is very girly, she loves to get her hair done (most days), she puts on necklaces and bracelets, tries to put on make up with me, carries around purses and loves her babies and stuffed animals. She has the cutest personality, she can be quite the firecracker, but is still very sweet. She is very independednt and opnionated. If we let her get down and walk in the store, church or anywhere else we are, she takes off and doesn't care if were right behind her or not... she is very brave and thinks she can get where she wants all by her self.
Everyday I wonder how I am so lucky to have such a beautiful, smart, perfect little girl! Words will never be able to tell how much I love her and am thankful for her.
