22 months old

My baby girl turns 22 months today. It is amazing to me how much she has become a little girl just in the last couple of months. She repeats EVERYTHING (yikes, she said the four letter S word under her breath), knows exactly what you are telling her to do and will do it (if she decides not to be stubborn about it), she is a wild child and very hyper, very independent and a whole lot of fun!

She says so many things now that it is hard to document, but some of the funny ones .....

"Oh me, mess, mess, mess" whenever she drops something. She will go try to find a towel and will clean it up. Sometimes I've heard her say "What a mess".

"Mouse" is what she says when she wants the TV on - referring to her favorite, Mickey. She also likes "Big Burr" and "Melmo"

"There it is" when she finds something

She will throw away things into the garbage, and says "way"

The child refuses to even try to say "flower". She still calls them "Balls", but says it a little different from the way she says "ball" for a real ball. Ok, so that was hard to explain!

She still says most of her alphabet, and we have been working on numbers. She knows some of them.

For colors, almost everything is "yellow". Sometimes she gets "purple" right.

She loves cars. As we are going through parking lots she is saying "car, vroom"

She still has extremely picky eating days. Some days she will eat great, others are such a pain. It stresses me out!

She still despises diaper changes. At least now, sometimes when she has a dirty diaper, she will hold her nose and say "eww". I have a goal to work on potty training this summer.

When she is done with her bath, she stands and says "all done".

She almost always says please and thank you at the appropriate times.

She loves Otis. When she is coming home from preschool, she says "Dada, Otis" the whole way home. Otis doesn't love her that much. He will pay her attention, but doesn't let her love on him like he wants to.

She loves animals. Anytime she sees a dog she says, "Oh, dog" and if it's a picture of a dog, she will always kiss it.

When we get ready for school, she says "cool" and goes and bangs on the door to leave.

Bless her heart, she has the worst skin. Since the hot weather started, we have had a time with it. It just itches her to death. We have to keep her from scratching her wrists especially. It's so sad. I just lotion her up several times a day. And often, have to wrap her wrists to keep them from being so dry!

Some pics.....
She has a blast with these popsicles that I bought. She gets them out of the cabinet, dumps them out and says "oh, mess" and puts them all back. When she puts them in the cabinet, she says "back". (This is about the only thing she plays with that she successfully puts back up after playing with it!)

She loves to help sweep and clean (thata' girl!)

She loves discovering funny new things she can do....

She loves to make noise and have fun. The good mommy in me let her bang on these a while, the bad mommy in me was wishing I had some earplugs!


She likes to test her limits (and be shirtless)...


And negotiate with food (I did mention she's very smart, right?)


She plays with her baby and stuffed animals (and always sits them on random places and says "no!")


Her new thing is to fill her mouth full of water and walk around and play that way. If we are lucky, she swallows it. If not, "Uh, oh, mess"



She is such a sweetheart and growing too fast! I want to press the pause button!!!!!
