Hate Halloween, Love Kids, Sleep All Night

November 10th, 2006 · No Comments · Second Year

WOW you are growing FAST. You are talking like crazy. Not always FULL words and not sentences but really close. You know what you want when you want it and you are slowly mastering how to tell us that. You are defiantly a GO GO GO person still and you are very active. You go to the playground at least three times a week for two hours each time and I have also enrolled you in gymnastics for babies which we take together on Mondays.

Finally Sleeping Through the Night

You are FINALLY sleeping through the night all by yourself and I got rid of your high chair and you sit at the table now (like a big girl) you are still telling us when you pee and poop but you have really shown no interest that you want to go on the potty.

Fairy for Halloween

For Halloween this year we dressed you up as a faerie (well it was just a dress with wings on it) at first you HATED it you where screaming and crying and protesting BIG TIME. But then once you realized we where going to go out and play with other kids (which you LOVE) you calmed down and we went out. You wanted to go into everyone’s house and you wanted to play with all the little kids. It was very cute.

We let you have some M&M’s and you loved it. After walking for over two hours on your own we headed home. You had no problems falling asleep.

Big Girl Feet

You are now mostly wearing a size three clothes (yes yes I know you are only 20 months old); sometimes a two but mostly now what we buy is a three and it is NOT too big. And I bought you shoes the other day and you are a 7½. You have BIG FEET girl. But I think you are going to be tall. Everyone tells me that you are very tall and although you are big (30+’s pounds) because you are so tall they really think you are much older then you are.

Random Kisses and Elmo

You randomly give us kisses and wake up still laughing and wanting to play. You are starting to throw more and more temper tantrums but thank goodness they do not last very long. Every day at around 3:00 we sit on the couch and snuggle together and watch Elmo which you love. You still do that annoying thing with my arm pit and elbows which I hope you soon grow out of but it soothes you so that is ok.

I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU.
