Your daddy bouncing you to sleep. Your acid reflux is bothering you a lot lately. :(
Jumbo bear measurement. Clara for size too! I had to bribe her to sit "still".
Kiss!
Yep. Thanks sissy!
My sweet boy
Almost caught his big smile. He is smiling a lot more but I've yet to catch a picture!
Whatcha got there sissy?
Oh no, a bit close with that knee
Handsome
Clara remembers she has a brother from time to time and will go tell him all sorts of stories.
Your happy place in your swing.
Our speech appointment in the am, you slept on the way there and took this paci when you woke, you usually don't but I keep trying. The therapist said it looks like were doing well so unless we need her for feeding help you probably won't need to see a speech therapist again until around 1 year old when language begins more.
My cowgirl! I can't wait until you rock somebody! You may never go to Jambo! Ever.
Such a comedian
You love to sing and dance
Some selfies-- you are my best friend, I hope you always will be!
You're so sweet and so funny...and exhausting.
Your happy place: Dora, Nunu, you just need a smoothie.
8 gloves on one hand, I tried to stop you at four, what was I thinking?
Mommy got crazy and we mixed the colors!
You have been soooo helpful lately you were rewarded with a sucker! Thanks Sio for vitamin C pops. We brushed with your new Dora brush after!
Clara you're such a great big sister. You love your brother so much. You want him to come with us when we go places, you want him to play, you want him to wake up when he's sleeping and you tell him that WAY too loud when he is fast asleep and sometimes he listens and wakes to play. When he cries you come get me even though I'm well aware. You'll say, "Baby's cryin' - it's okay baby, I know" -- since I always say, "I know" when you're sad and crying. You're so creative lately. You hold complete conversations with all your "friends". You love playing with your doll house the most and are really into creative play. You get really frustrated when the dada doesn't sit in his chair without falling over. You know what you want to happen and when it doesn't you tend to freak out. Sometimes you'll calmly ask for help but most of the time you throw a tantrum and throw whatever it is you're mad at across the room. Then you say, "poor dada, poor chair" for example, and kiss them and start all over calm. You are speaking in broken sentences and words still. You'll say things like, "Mama come too, Nunu seat belt safe, I watch Dora peez," and SO much more. It's not likely that we don't understand you, you speak very clear. Your "l's" and "r's" are the hardest for you. We practice the "l" by putting your tongue between your teeth which you do, but then you don't try and make the sound. Dada has you reading words now. He'll write words on your board and then ask you which one is "mama", "nunu", "dada", "cat" etc and you get them really fast after a couple tries. You can read your books to us now, your favorite ones we have read a lot, you can tell me what the "words say" on each page. Clearly you're not reading the words yet but you remember what they are, from us reading it so much. You can read the entire book correctly by looking at the pictures. You sit still and read with us now, you do the best before bed since you'd rather read then go to bed. You HATE having your teeth brushed. We have to pin you down and you usually have to cry in order for us to get them cleaned. You have started covering your mouth and refusing to open. I let dada do that dirty work, but last night you let him no fuss. You haven't adjusted to dada holding Everett yet, you still get really jealous. You did when Doe held him today too. I'm glad you've adjusted to me holding him. When others are over you crave my attention more for some reason, when it's just us you're fine. Thankfully you're still so very sweet to Everett and just beg daddy to hold you a lot when he has his hands full. Everett has given you many presents lately to play with so you're content when I have to give him lots of attention when he eats. Guppies is still your favorite word, and show. You like "Oomie Zoomie and Dora" and you do learn from the shows although I wish I didn't have to have the TV on so much. You play very well by yourself for long periods of time. You really like to role play lately. You made one of my pumping materials a "ship" for Gil recently and you have the ship go up over a bridge which is the old play mat rings that go overhead. You like cars, tractors, trains, buses and anything you can make move but you get mad when the "people" don't stay in how you want them to. Nunu has to do everything you do and go everywhere you go. I'm getting very fearful of him getting lost, I don't know what we'd do. You want him to experience everything you do and you talk to him all day long. You tell him, "I miss you Nunu (when you haven't seen him in a few minutes), play, guppies, mama, dada, Doe, hi, how are you, sweet dreams (which sounds like "a dreams"). You warm up to people you don't know very well and are very silly. You know you're entertaining us and do it on purpose. You like to be the show and are so very adorable. You are using your manners almost all the time now on your own. You'll always bless me when I sneeze and get me a tissue. You like helping throw away diapers but struggle with the foot opener and say, "help" very frantic like you do when you want to be able to do something immediately on your own but can't. You say please and thank you regularly now. You haven't been counting things as much as you used to. You know all of your colors and tell us what color everything is all the time now. You're becoming a very picky eater. You need to carefully taste everything before it goes in your mouth, you used to just trust me and eat it all. You spit things out fast, before really trying them. I find you telling nunu, "Just try it, you'll like it, it's good" which sounds like, "Try it, like it, yummy" when you say it. I put all the pouches you won't eat or finish in your smoothies, you will eat anything I put in a smoothie thankfully. You're not eating nearly as much as you used to, you're more of a snacker which is fine by me as long as I can get you to eat. You eat most your food groups well but have been avoiding veggies which is my fault since I'm not cooking them much. I put them in your smoothies though. I think you might be getting your molers since you're drooling a bit, extra irritable at times, having diarrhea, AND you now say, "mouth hurts" and you've also said, "belly hurts" the last few days. We have to kiss everything that hurts, I've been kissing your mouth a lot lately which I love, but feel bad it hurts so much. I love that you can tell us how you're feeling now, SO helpful! Whenever you bump anything you say that body part over and over until we kiss it. If it is a pair, like a hand or a foot, we have to always kiss both. You purposefully make your animals fall and "bonk-a-head" so you can kiss them and say, "Poor ___________, (kiss), all better". You love your puzzles, reading, your shows, play-doh, your brother, teddy and nunu of course, swimming, your doll house, hair ties, beads, dancing/music, OUTSIDE, walks, parks, beach balls, the list is endless. You're sleeping through the night still thankfully. You nap for about 2 to 2.5 hours typically. You're my sweet baby girl and I love you with all I've got!
Pics soon!
