You wear a size four diaper.
You wear a size 6 shoe!
You weigh 26.5 pounds according to our scale at the house!
You wear 24 month pajamas, 18 month shirts and jeans and 24 month leggings.
You LOVE ring around the rosie. You are not fond of the "falling down" part, but you love for me to sing and for us to spin in circles.
You do not like stickers! You aren't sure what to think about how sticky they are.
Your favorite fruit is still blueberries. You would eat them at every meal if we would let you!
Your favorite vegetable are peas, although you also like carrots, corn and butternut squash.
You like to watch football.
You still love Chesney and have a new love for Zoe.
You love to pat the dogs. We tell them "night night" after bath each evening and pat each of them. You grin from ear to ear.
You love Earth's Best apple cinnamon oatmeal.
You are learning to feed yourself with a spoon and I am loving watching you.
You LOVE to slide. You can climb up the steps, pull your legs out from under you, sit on your bottom and slide all by yourself.
You love to walk around the house and open all of the cabinets. You have recently found the tupperware one and you like to pull out pieces and strategically place them on the kitchen floor.
You also like to rearrange things in the house. You will pull the picture frames off of the coffee table and place them in the floor around the house. You also move the dogs bowls and place them around the house. Daddy has a scavenger hunt every evening before feeding the dogs!
You like to "feed and water" the dogs. You will reach up on the cart and pull down the water pitcher and the food cup and walk from bowl to bowl. You will also hold them out for the dogs to lick.
You LOVE to help Mommy around the house. There are two that are your favorites. One is laundry. I sit you on the edge of the washing machine with your feet dangling in and you put all the clothes in for me. You love to put them in and even to help me close the lid... but when I put you down and we close the door you lose it. You cry and are so upset that it is over. Breaks my heart! You also love to help me unload the dishwasher. You will pull out your spoons and forks and walk over to your drawer. I pick you up and then you place them in the correct basket. You are so smart! You will stand next to the dishwasher and help me unload your cups. I hand you each of the pieces and you place them in the cups one by one, I put the lid on and hand you another cup while I put away the completed cup. You wait ever so patiently for me to come back for us to do another one.
You love to open the dishwasher and shut it again.
You also love to open the cabinet under the sink. You love to carry around the Bath & Body Works soaps.
You love all the Halloween decorations that we have put up and you like to carry the figurines around the house.
You will play in your playroom, but prefer to walk around the house!
You will walk into your room and try to climb into your crib. You like to get in and play!
You can easily climb up into the recliner and turn yourself around and sit down. You can also climb up on the couch, then you like to climb up the cushions to the back of the couch to look on the counter.
One of your fish, Fishy, died this month. We aren't sure what happened, but we think he had swim bladder disease, although we aren't sure how he got it. You still have Oh-Oh though!
You enjoy it when we pull out your princess cars or lawn mower for you to ride on and push around the house. You can peddle yourself on your princess cars! You are getting so big.
You give the best hugs. You wrap your arms around us, squeeze, say, "mmmmm!!!" and hold on so tight. Please don't ever stop! Melts mine and Daddy's heart because you will walk up to us and throw your arms around our legs and just squeeze!
You really enjoy pulling DVD's off of the shelf and putting them in the floor. You haven't quite mastered putting them back.
You have a few favorite toys that you have to play with each day: the animals that go with Noah's Ark, your Ariel and Eric seahorse drawn carriage and your two soft bristle brushes we don't use on your hair anymore. You like to chew on the handles.
You have a few favorite books: When I Grow Up and Baby Animals.
You are cutting some back teeth, I am not sure of which ones because you don't like for me to mess with your mouth, but I hope to see soon!
You can spot an airplane we can barely see in the sky. You are so very observant! You point with your sweet first finger and your thumb untucked. You are just the cutest thing!
You have three favorite movies: Toy Story, Toy Story 3 and Tangled.
You like Jake and the Neverland Pirates, Doc McStuffins, Handy Manny and you like the intro to Octonauts.
If someone makes a silly face at you, you will make it back!
You love to wear my lipgloss! It started in Florida because it has spf in it. But if I ask if you want some you will come running. Then you open your mouth and stand so still while I put it on your lips. It's simply precious!
You do this new thing where if I ask you if you want to nurse, eat lunch, want a snack or something to drink you will raise your arm and lean your head to your shoulder. It is the cutest thing. We say you're "broken" because you look so silly!
You also still do your "old man walk" where you bend your knees and walk really slowly hunched over. I don't know why you do it, but I love it!
You are not a fan most of the time of having your diaper changed, but if I can distract you (normally by balancing something on your forehead) you will stay still.
You nurse 3-4 times a day depending on whether your gums are hurting and how sleepy you are. Typically in the morning, after your nap (around 3) and then before I rock you to sleep.
You still absolutely love bath time. Your favorite toys are your boat, captain and your stacking cups. You also love to play with your wash cloth. You will put it on Daddy's head, move his head up and down and take it off and do it again. You also will stand up and sway back and forth with a big smile on your head and will wait till Daddy and I mimic you. It's so sweet!
You love to drink milk in the mornings and prefer water the rest of the day. You occasionally with drink juice, but you would much rather have water.
You like to push the Rainbow around the house. You will grab the cord and unplug it, then either drag it by the cord or push it.
You do not like for your hair to be in your face. You try to brush it out of the way and then when we put a clip in you sometimes grab it and yank it out. You're a mess!
You are throwing a few more tantrums now, but most of them occur in the house when you aren't allowed to do something (such as carry crayons around the house) or are being made to do something you don't want to do (such as lay down while I lotion you and put your pajamas on). Typically I can distract you and act silly and you calm down. But you will kick your legs and scream.
You "talk" and babble most of the day. You aren't saying many words, but Momma is the most consistent of them all.
You still need your sassy most of the day, especially when in the car, nap time and bed time. And you still LOVE when you have two or more you can switch around.
You have been sleeping better lately, but are typically up for the day around 6 or 6:30.
You wake up, nurse and around 8-9 you eat breakfast.
You then have a snack, usually yogurt, but sometimes jell-o around 11.
Depending on what time you woke up and how tired you are you may nap before lunch, but if possible we eat lunch around 12 and then you go down for a nap. We have cut back to one nap a day you big girl!
After nap around 3 you nurse, we then eat supper around 5:30 and then starts our bed time routine.
You are generally in bed between 7-7:30.
I love watching the adorable, intelligent toddler you are becoming and I pray that I am raising you in the way God would have me. I pray that I am the best Mommy for you and that you will always know how very much I love and adore you. Love you baby girl!
