23 months

oh sweet ad, i can hardly believe we are planning a SECOND birthday party already! today, you are 23 months. you are at a very fun age... you want to do everything we are all doing and all by yourself. it is something new with you everyday. and how very refreshing for us. i joke that you're my little egyptian princess...you love to be held and rubbed. as independent as you want and try to be, you really are just such a snuggler and love some close lovin'. you wrap both arms around our head to bring us cheek to cheek, you hold our face to give us big smooches and you tuck your head in our neck to rest your head. you love to learn, but it has to be on your terms. you're impatient, stubborn and have a great sense of humor. you love to dance, climb, rock your babies and keep them warm. you have a blanket and ear fetish. you love you ear the most, but will play with any exposed ear...mostly dad's and mine. you push my hair out of the way. it's sweet. you have the best smile and laugh...and make us smile and laugh all.the.time. even when you're really naughty. i don't know what it is, but we cannot help ourselves. it is not good. one of the big things this past month is you FINALLY let us brush your teeth!! hallelujah!! and of course...you showing interest and success with pottying like a big girl! we can't believe how big you're getting, ad.
we love you little egyptian princess! it's so much fun watching you grow!
happy 23 months adelyn ann!
