PERSONALITY: You are a sweet, cuddly baby girl!  You love to snuggle with us, lean in for hugs, and give kisses.  You have a mischievous streak.  This month, you decided to fingerpaint your body and toilet seat with the poop in your diaper. You are constantly climbing onto the kitchen table. Daddy calls you the sticky bandit, because you take everything...the remote, our cell phones, tablets...and RUN! You are lucky you are so cute and funny! You are a little ham! You make the cutest, funniest faces, and they are usually on cue.  I think you may have inherited the acting gene!  You are starting to show your frustration at not being allowed or able to do some things.  You definitely have a dramatic side! Your sweet, happy, social, loving, friendly, easy-going personality is what stands out. You can charm anybody with your sweet grin!
