It's quarterly update time! You turned 21 months a few days ago, which means when I write the next update, you will be two years old. Oy! You are such a fun little person now. Here's what you're doing:
- You are a little talker. Not only do you repeat anything that we say, but you say lots of things on your own. You tell us when you have a yucky diaper, what you want to eat, what you want to do. It's so nice to know what you're thinking!
- You have so many things you like to do: you love to be outside (which you tell us all the time), you love to see the turtles and ducks with Dada each night, you like to read books, and you love to pet Petey too. You also like to dig in the garden with your shovel.
- Sometimes you try to crawl in your stroller by yourself, and tell Dada that you want to go on a Ride.
- You sit at the table like a big girl now for dinner. You're also so good when we pray before dinner, and you say Amen.
- Your feet are growing! We're going through shoes so fast!
- You don't like the noise of trucks or cars and run to us when you hear a loud noise.
- You stayed with Grantama and Grandpa while Mama and Dada took a vacation to Boston. Mama and Dada had fun on their trip, but they missed you terribly.
- You did your first Easter egg hunts with MamaLou and Papa D, but you were only slightly interested in the eggs. You'd rather just walk around at your own pace. You also saw baby chicks, baby ducks, and bunnies, which you seemed a little confused about.
- You say a few things we can't understand, and we can't wait until we know what they mean: Foo Foo Fi and Watia/Fatia.
You growing up into a big girl is happening so fast. Every day I see the new things you're learning and I can't believe it. You're so brave and fearless and curious, and Mama admires those things in you so much! Getting to be your Mama is everything. I love you.
Mama
