-She can name most of the animals in her books and tell you the sound they make (like for duck she says "wak-wak", for cow she says "mooooo", for snake she says "ahhhhhhh" - she's trying to copy my "ssssss" sound, for kangaroo she moves her arms up and down and says "ha-ha-ha" (for hop, hop, hop), for lions and tigers she says "raaaar", for turkey she makes a hilarious gobbling noise and my favorite is when she sees the mouse she shakes her finger and says "no-no!".
-Her hair is getting longer and longer, especially in the back.
-She saw a train the other day when we were out driving around and said "cho-chooo", since she'd seen a train in her books and knows that it makes the cho-cho sound. I was SO proud!
-She loves turtles and everytime we see water now she asks for the "tur-toos".
-She has such a sweet and loving personality. She loves to give hugs, pat her mommy and daddy, and give us kisses.
-She is very strong willed and wants what she wants when she wants it. She is very persistant. She can be very defiant when she wants to be.
-She has a mind of her very OWN.
-She is a co-py-cat...Gotta watch what you say around her!
-She is fascinated with shoes, of any sort, that belong to anyone, small, medium, large, and extra large! Wherever we are she finds people's shoes and either puts them on her feet and starts walking around in them, or takes them to the person that they belong to and stands there adamantly waiting for that person to put their shoes on.
-She loves playing with junk mail. She shreds it all to pieces and throws it all over the playroom.
-She never sits still unless she is asleep.
-Spankings do not phase her one bit, she actually laughs if you try to spank her.
-She always says "uh-oh" when she drops something, and even when she purposely throws something down (like her sippy cup).
-She tries to put everything into the garbage can (shoes, remotes, pacis, toys etc.)
-She loves playing at the parks and pushing her stroller around the neighborhood.
-She likes to put her food in her hair (bananas and grapes), on her belly, in her ears (pretzal sticks), and down her shirt when she's eating.
-She enjoys banging her sippy cup on the table to make as much noise as possible.
-She has moved to a booster sit and sits at the big people table instead of in a high chair.
-She gets crazy happy when her daddy gets home from work. She often looks through the window in the evening and says "Da-da, Da-daaa??!!" She loves and adores her daddy.
-She will not leave a bib on when eating, so now eats with no shirt on.
-She has moved onto size 4 diapers (she was in 3's since we moved here in May!) and she also now wears size 24 months clothes.
-She loves her grandparents so much: Paw-paw, Nanna, Ma (which she shortened from Oma), Pa (shortened from Oupa), Mema (mammaw), and Papa (Papaw).
-She absolutely loves taking baths. She enjoys playing with the shampoo, conditioner and soap instead of her toys. No matter how long she stays in the tub, she cries every single time I take her out.
-She still loves her paci, which she calls "ba".
-She is such a smart and beautiful little girl that amazes me everyday!
-She loves, loves, LOVES books. She likes to look at them all by herself either in her tent, on her mini rocking chair, or lay on the pillows in the play room. She loves for me or Jacob to read them with her and gets so excited when we do. I think she's following after daddy's footsteps with this!
-Her newest favorite foods are maccaroni and cheese and black beans.
-She loves to dance! Anytime she hears music she just busts out dancing. She either sways back and forth from one foot to another or bounces up and down and shakes her head all over the place.
-She loves for me to sing songs to her like, the itsy bitsy spider, twinkle twinkle little star and old mcdonald. Her favorite right now is 5 little monkeys and if I start singing anything else she does some sort of high pitched yell until I start singin the "right" song.
-She loves electronic things like phones, calculators, cameras, ipods, remotes and anything else like that. She thinks she has really gotten a prize if someone lets her play with one of those.
-She climbs onto anyting that she can. i.e - her activity table in the play room, the entertainment center, up her pack-n-play, onto chairs, on top of her play kitchen etc. She is a monkey!
-She enjoys throwing temper tantrums when she doesn't want to do something.
-She thinks she is such a big girl if she gets to sit in the rocking chair (that I used to rock her in as a baby) and "ra-ra" (rock).
-She is the best running partner ever!
-She loves nurturing her baby dolls. She gives them their bottle and paci, pats them, and rocks them. She is going to be such a great big sister one day!
-She doesn't like when I'm on the phone because I'm not giving her my full attention so she starts yelling and crying. Then as soon as I'm off she's a little angel.
-Big trucks scare her. She always runs to me and wants me to pick her up when the garbage truck comes by or when we're out and the UPS truck drives by.
-Her bed is still the pack-n-play. Not sure when she'll ever be able to sleep anywhere else!
-Everytime she wakes up she hollers very loudly "MA-MAAAA, MA-MAAA!!!!" until I come in and get her.
-She likes to go splish-splash in the dog's water bowl!
-She loves chasing Harley and Nina around the house. She always starts laughing like crazy when she chases them because she thinks it is so funny.
-She likes to try and carry things around that are WAY to big for her, and she actually does!
