2 Years and Counting...+5 Months

...
Grey Grey,
This was such a BIG month for you. The month you met your sisters and really got to shine as BIG sister. We couldn't be more proud of how you've taken on the role. To say you love your sisters is a complete understatement. You can't get enough of them. I'm sure that won't last forever, but it's so special to watch right now. I pray over the relationship you 3 have- that you will be an encouragement to one another and always be close. In addition to becoming a big sister, you also started MDO, and are growing leaps and bounds with your development.  You're the light of our life, little one!
Mommy and Daddy

  • Size 4 diapers, 18 month- 2T clothes (smaller for shorts and dresses, bigger for shirts), barely fitting in your size 5 shoes.
  • Schedule is the same- sleep between 7-8, wake between 7-8, one nap around 1-4. You usually take an hour or so to wind down for nap and sleep. We have to talk to you on your monitor and tell you to lay down. To which you immediately tell us when we come to get you up, "Mommy talk to me! Lay down!"
  • You're still not potty training. Occasionally you want to go sit on your toilet and pretend to go, but that's it. You tell us immediately when you poop and want to be changed.
  • Your imagination is soaring! For example, you were eating bread the other day and thought it looked like an airplane!
  • You are all girl! You have been waking up most days and immediately asking to put on a dress so "I twirl". You want to dance to "Book of Life" songs all day!
  • You are an aper. The other day I was doing squats and you said, "Mommy silly", then came over and joined me. I had my phone in my hand and you ran off to go get your phone so you would be exactly like me. 
  • You have finally started to "cheese" when we have the camera out! It's a corny smile of course, and just perfect!
  • My favorite big sister story so far (other than your constant hugs and kisses to your sisters) is when you walked up to Scarlett while I was holding her and you licked the back of her head! HA! You watch over your sisters all the time and will go watch them sleep or rock them in their bouncers or rock-n-plays. 
  • You love to grocery shop. Or any shopping. At Old Navy the other day you held up every single thing we passed and said, "this is cute". Thank goodness your daddy wasn't with us or he would've bought everything for you!
  • You love the dark. You constantly want the lights off and love to hide in closets. 
  • You also love to help. You have your own stool and move it all around the house to help with diaper changes, baths, cooking...
  • Favorite words and phrases: "I so pretty", "Mommy a princess", "I like it", "Put her down" (this is in reference to yourself when we are holding you and you want down).
You are still LOVING your Critters and play with them all the time. 
This critter was doing what you were doing- rocking.
Working on that cheese.
More big girl Critter play!

You may be all girly, but you LOVE dirt!
