23 months old

Dear Little Munchie,

Happy 23 months old sweet girl! In just 1 short month we will be celebrating your 2nd birthday. I have already started looking back at a few of the slideshows I made for you to remind me of how far you have come in two years. I love you just as much today as I did the day you came into our lives. I will save the super sappy post for when you turn 2. Till then I will spend the next month getting ready for your party, watching more slideshows and shedding tears of joy, and spending time with one of my favorite little people, YOU! Here are some of the things you have been up to this month:

*Your new sayings this month are "oh, man" (don't know where you got that from), "ok, momma", and "woohoo".

*You have started saying please on your own, although there are still a few times we have to prompt you. You love to shout out commands to us throughout the house such as "Momma, COME please". You know we won't do what you ask us unless you say please but now I think we need to work on not sounding so bossy and saying it in a nicer way. ;)

*You love to sing on your own Happy Birthday, Twinkle Twinkle, the dancy dance song from Yo Gabba with Jack Black (hilarious episode!)..."Up, down, up, down, up, down, up down, and forward, and back", and you also love to sing the Hot Dog song that is at the end of Mickey Mouse clubhouse. It is so cute to hear you sing all these songs in your own little version. It always makes me smile.

*Your favorite shows to watch are Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and Handy Manny. You also really like the movie Toy Story and Despicable Me. I let you watch lots of movies recently because you have been sick and wanting to lay around.


*Your favorite things to do around the house this month have been throwing the golf ball down the hall with daddy, putting a diaper on your baby and feeding your baby, and walking around the house in your princess heels.






*You have been waking up around 5:30 or 6 every morning this month. Hopefully soon, for your sake and mine, you will figure out how to sleep in a little bit more.


*You have started crying/ having more tantrums this month. It is mostly when you want something that you cannot have or when we don't do something that you want us to do. You have become very opinionated and get frustrated when things don't go how you want them to. Most of the time I can distract you and they dont last for too long but there have been a few that I would like to forget....I thought that they might be a short phase since they started happening more when you were sick and tired but they have stuck around. Guess we are in the "terrible two" stage.


*You still love to play with your friends and get so excited when I tell you we are going to see them. This month I got several pictures of you holding hands with some of your closest buds.
