- you sure are miss independent.
- you know what you want and how to get it.
- you love love love to cuddle and be held.
- you are very tickelish.
- you have very good manners. you've been saying 'please' and 'bless you' for awhile now, but just the week of christmas did you start saying 'thank you.' perfect timing.
- you love books. it's been a gradual affair. and you are finally loving it and could sit for hours reading. by yourself or being read to.
- you want whatever your sister is playing with. at that same exact time.
- you are very impulsive...and kinda look for trouble.
you tried and empty the vaseline tubs...you had gobs of it hanging off your face and hands, not to mention all you had on your clothes and hair.
you tried and empty the tape...
you'll empty drawers...
you empty out our books and 'read' them...
emptying the kleenex...
- you love to play dress up, read and play games.- your favorite games are duck duck goose and ring around the rosie.
- you know your colors to pick them out ("find the red bird"), but only sometimes verbalize them.
- you love all the christmas lights outside. you yell, "lights" over and over and over everytime we are in the car.
- you know all kinds of animal sounds. your favorites are the gorilla and elephant.
- you still have a bleach blonde stripe of hair and a hazel stripe amongst your big blue eyes.
- it takes you no less than 7 minutes to put a shoe on your barbies, but you refuse help and are so proud of yourself. this is the case with many things.
- you can put your boots on yourself, but rarely get the right feet. you love to get your shoes on, come to me with your coat and say "bye bye mommy...mommy, bye bye?!"
- your a little antagonist. you love to do the slow push. and you'll also lightly tap and gradually increase pressure so that you're eventually hitting.
- you take time out's like a champ, but are very very slow to apologize. unfortuantely you come by that naturally.
- you love to play with game/puzzle pieces, barbie accessories or any other teeny tiny collectibles that get lost easily.
- you speak in 2-4 word phrases.
- you answer with a very clear "yeah" or "noooo" when asked a question.
- you get very excited easily, especially for food. and you literally shake with excitement. it's really cute!
- you still are not consistently sleeping through the night. for the last 3 months you have sporadically been waking up in the middle of the night...and screaming bloody murder.
- you have the best smile and laugh and just really love to have fun. we are definitely laughing with you every day!
happy 1 3/4 years sweet ad!!! we love you so much!!!
