What I'll miss when she's older

This post is inspired by an article in the June issue of Parents Magazine.  The author lists things about his son he'll miss when he is older.
Now that Lucy is almost 21 months old, there are some things she does now that I'll probably miss as soon as a year from now, so here goes:
  • She pronounces the letter F with a "shh" sound.  Example: shone=phone, shog=frog, and shan=fan.
  • We just watched "Frozen" last week, and mommy and daddy seemed to enjoy it more than her.  We ask her, "Do you want to build a snowman?" and she instantly says "No."
  • She gives hugs by tipping only her head onto whatever she is hugging.
  • She's obsessed with shoes, but not because she likes shoes, but the possibility of shoes.  Whenever she sees us putting our shoes on, she gets excited and runs to get hers, because to her, shoes mean we are going somewhere, which means some sort of adventure.
  • We are teaching her please and thank you, and she can say both, but her latest thing is saying thank you when she wants something or hands us something.
  • She can count to ten with us, but only knows the even numbers.
  • We live a mile from the train tracks, so we hear most trains that go by.  Whenever she hears one, she says "Train!"  We also live near a fire station, so when a fire engine rolls by, with sirens blaring, she also yells "Train!"  We're working on that one.
I'm sure there are a bunch more, but both kids are waking up now!
