She went through a huge growth spurt + I feel like she is getting ready to go through another.
6 on top, 8 on bottom.
Appearance:
Her hair is getting longer and wavier by the minute. It's shoulder length + her bangs can be pulled back into a ponytail or bun without falling out. She still LOVES hair her hair done but prefers a bow over a headband these days. Her new thing is flipping her hair + brushing it out of her face like a little diva. I feel like her eyes get bluer and bluer by the minute. I can't tell you how many times I get stopped in stores by random strangers to tell me how pretty her eyes are. I don't think she's ever going to lose those round cheeks…I love em'.
Personality:
OMG- I swear she is the sweetest, most loving little kid I've ever seen. Hugs, kisses, hand-holding, snuggling, all day, all the time. I can't get enough of it. I pray everyday she keeps her sweet disposition. She is still silly + loves to entertain- she obviously loves attention. She loves kids + plays so well. She still is an excellent sharer, although, I did hear my first "mine" not too long ago. Feeding:
Not much has changed when it comes to eating- she loves to eat + she isn't picky. Beverages are still mostly water, unsweetened milk, coconut milk + the occasional watered down 100% organic apple juice concentrate. She likes to steal a sip of Philip's "cof-cof" (coffee) when he isn't looking. Silly girl hasn't realized that saying "mmmmmmm-good" gives it away every time. She mostly drinks from cups with straws but really enjoys drinking from a cup without a lid. She feels so proud when she does it. She eats mostly with her fork without help. She still signs "more" + "eat" but says them as well. She is obsessed with ketchup (probably because of the sugar in it). Still eats anything we give her + things we don't give her, lol.
Sleep:
Bedtime is still around 7:30-8:00pm & she wakes up around 7:00am. She is still taking an hour morning nap most days & takes about an hour afternoon nap. Sometimes she takes a 2 hour morning nap + doesn't take an afternoon nap at all. Sleep is definitely not an issue.
Talking:
I love listening to her talk. While she still talks in "Addison", she has actual conversations with us. She is putting multiple words together + I can actually understand her! It's crazy, she actually makes sense! "hold-you" (hold me), "apple juice so good", "oopsy daisy", "pretty please"…I could write an entire blog on things she says.
Stuff she is doing:
She loves to skip + jump. She knows she gets a ton of attention by doing so, so she squats + does burpess all the time. She is super imitative, I was doing pistol squats the other day + looked over- she was doing them. She LOOOOVES to color, this happens multiple times during the day. She is learning her colors and can recognize, blue/green/yellow/orange/purple/brown/pink (she says them all clear as day too). If she could spend all day outside, she would. She loves digging in her sandbox, playing in the pool + coloring with sidewalk chalk. We try to make it to the park a few times per week but lately it's either been too hot or raining. She is completely obsessed with her rain boots…the girl loves shoes. She mimics you if you say the alphabet- she will repeat the letters back to you. She loves puzzles and will play endlessly with her little people. She is constantly singing, especially if it's along to a DVD or one of her favorite shows. She isn't fully potty trained but she is almost there (or vacation threw a little wrench in that)!
Likes:
Kids…she loves to play! Her favorite toys: iPad, blocks, coloring books/crayons, bear stuffed animal, blankie, any board book, puzzles, blocks, pottery barn chair, rocking horse, toy jeep, books & her piano. Her favorite TV show is still Sesame Street but she also loves Mickey Mouse Clubhouse + Daniel the tiger. She asks to brush her teeth first thing when she wakes up every morning…she loves brushing her teeth. . She is a very happy kid.
Dislikes:
Having her face/hands wiped after eating. Being told no or stop it. She now sticks her hand out and says "nop-it" back to you when you tell her. She really doesn't like being punished.
