Things she loves:
Eating - and the girl has a serious sweet tooth, I wonder where she got that from?
Dancing - anytime, anywhere
Being outside - we have just discovered this the last few weeks as the weather has improved. She doesn't even want to come inside after the short walk from the garage at the end of the day.
Pepper - bff's (most of the time)
Blocks - she loves to stack them and then knock them down
Cars (zoom, zooms)
The Playground - she will go through the entire things herself (carefully supervised of course!)
Books - LOVES, still the only one at daycare that will sit through an entire book or more
Tinkerbell - her favorite movie, she will sit through at least 45 minutes in this spot
"Drawing" - anytime I am writing something she always wants to draw scribbles on the paper
Mickey Mouse Clubhouse & Sesame Street - she watches these in the morning with some milk and Cheerios while we get ready
Things she's saying:
Her vocabulary has improved so much in the last few months, I was beginning to worry we might have to do early intervention because she was so quiet for so long. Here are just a few of the things she's currently saying, I know there are more I just can't think of them all now!
mama, dada, pepah (with a french accent, adorable!), bye, bye, papa, kiikii (kitty kitty), baby, baah (what a sheep says), moo, rrgghhh (what a lion says, this might be our favorite), uh oh (all the time), zoooooom (while playing with cars), guh, guh (what a turkey says, peas (please), uuhh (up)
Things she can sign:
more, milk, water, doggie, all done, bird
Other things I want to remember:
She sleeps from about 7:30pm to 7:00am and most of the time lays in bed talking to herself once she is awake
She's in size 4 diapers now but still in mostly 12 month clothes. We are slowly transitioning into 18 months but most of them are summer and the pants are all too long
Her car seat is still rear facing and since she doesn't know any different she is okay with that
She currently has 12 teeth but at least 2 (if not 4) more are coming in right now. They make her super fussy but luckily she has never drooled while teething.
She is understanding so much more of what we say and ask of her. She will follow simple tasks we ask like helping clean up, throwing something away or going to get/find something.
She can still throw a mean tantrum by throwing herself on the floor.
She all of a sudden in the last few weeks has decided she doesn't like baths. They used to be her favorite and she'd coming running when she heard the bath water but now she screams through the entire thing as we try to bathe her as fast as possible.
She knows both patty cake and little bitty spider which are so cute to watch!
She gives the best hugs and still likes to snuggle with both me and daddy which is one of the greatest things ever! (hanging out after a long day of yard work)
She really is one of the happiest kids I have ever known and everyday she makes us smile and laugh. She truly is the greatest thing that has ever happened to both Alex and I and we are so looking forward to the ride as we watch the little person she is becoming.
