22 months

Allie you are 22 months old! I cannot believe in just 2 short months you will be two. These 22 months have flown by. Here's what you are up to this month!

You wear a size 2T.
You wear a size 6 shoe.
You wear a size 4 diaper. 

You are only nursing once at night before bed.
You like to push open the door to your room when we go to nap or go night night. 
You will pull your pants up once your feet are through the bottoms of them after a diaper change. 
You know your socks go on your feet and you try to put them on. 
You know what socks go together and can match yours up.
You still aren't a fan of having your hair washed so daddy will throw a foam letter up on the wall for you to look up at while I rinse your hair!
You say, "get you!", "good job!", "bye bye", and "bite!"


One of my favorite things is when I stand up after rocking you to lay you down you grab my arm with your sweet hand and hold on tight until I lay you down.


You do NOT like stickers or to have paint or anything sticky or gooey on your hands. But you love to carry stickers around and you LOVE to paint using a paint brush. 
You LOVE cheddar cheese. We buy it from the farm and you could easily polish off a whole block in one sitting if we'd let you!
You love peas, blueberries and cereal. 


You eat two breakfasts- yours and then whatever Mommy is eating!
You love Disney Jr and there are very few shows you don't like. You love Doc McStuffins, Little Einsteins and Octonauts. You love it when the Einsteins say, "Raise your arms as high as you can and say blast off!". You will raise your hands and put them on your head and wait for me to say it! It's adorable!


I love you sweet baby girl! I cannot wait to see what the next month holds for you!
Love you!
Mommy

21 months

Allie you are 21 months old! The time seems to be flying by and of course I am already planning your 2nd birthday party. I can't believe you are closer to 2 than 1! Here's what you are up to this month:

You are wearing size 4 diapers.
You wear a size 2T in pants and shirts.
You wear a size 6 in shoes.
You love to eat blueberry baked oatmeal, cereal and raisin toast for breakfast.
Your hair is getting SO long and I can pull it up in a pony tail without it being on top of your head and all of your hair stays in the rubber-band.
You love to watch Doc McStuffins, Little Einsteins, Octonauts, Gapsard &Lisa and you love to watch the Winnie The Pooh movie.
You love any and everything with music. You will stop and listen, dance, clap your hands and try to jump. It's precious!
You really enjoy playing in your playroom. You will stand at the gate whining until we open it for you. You like to stack your mega blocks, stack your nesting blocks and hoard any and everything you can in your kitchen.
You are a busy little girl. You are constantly in motion. When we went to the doctor for your 18 month check-up they asked if you were pointing to all your body parts and talking and I said, "she doesn't sit still long enough for me to teach her anything!" You are so much fun and a full ball of energy. You will sit sometimes to read. You have a few favorite books: We Go Together, Baby Animals, Duck and Goose It's Time for Christmas and Toes Ears & Nose. I am able to teach you things when you are in the tub too. You just love carrying as many things as you can fit in your hand and walking around the house with them.
You smile more than any little girl I know. You are extremely ticklish and Daddy and I tickle you as often as we can.
You still love to be chased.
You have gotten to where you will cover your eyes with your arm if there is a "scary" part in a movie or show.
You love the dogs, especially Chesney and think everything they do is hilarious.
You do not like for Mommy to sing, at the library, in the car or at night! So when we sing "Jesus Loves Me" after we pray at night Daddy and I rap it! You think it is hilarious!
You can climb up onto anything. You love to try and sneak into the kitchen and climb up on the chairs. You are very good at getting up there, but you make me so nervous, I am so afraid you are going to fall off backwards.
You love to pull all of the DVD's off of the shelf in the living room.. picking them up, not so much.
You absolutely love Minnie Mouse and we take her with us when we go places. We take her to the library and you do so much better with her there.
You are sleeping SO much better at night! You typically will sleep from 10-12 hours at night.
You also take between an hour and two hour nap during the day.
You love apples, strawberries, blueberries, pears, peas, chicken, bananas and raisin toast.
You are quite picky, but you love fruit so we let you eat that as an alternative when you don't want to eat what we are eating for supper.
You also enjoy the smoothies we make. They have blueberries, strawberries, probiotics, banana, spinach and juice in them.
You are trying to talk more and more. You say Momma the most. You will also say bubbles, bye bye,  and more.
You love bubbles and we typically play with them in your playroom daily.
You know how to turn the computer screen on by playing with the mouse or pressing the keys on the keyboard.
You know that Mommy's phone is hers and you will bring it to me if it is laying on the floor. So cute!
You are a pro at recording shows while playing with the remote. Almost daily there is a new show you have recording!
You love your sassy's and know where we keep them on the counter and if they are drying on a washcloth you will pull it off the counter to get to them!
You love to play hide and seek. You will go into the hallway next to our bedroom and will hide around the corner, then peek out!
When in the tub you like to play with your stacking cups and you enjoy putting the wash cloth on Daddy's head. You still love bath time.
You do not mind getting out anymore. You come and let me wrap you up and then I lotion and dress you while you are standing. 
You are growing, changing, learning and doing so many funny things. We love you so much baby girl and can't wait to see what the next month holds!
Love you!
