My big girl and her big personality!!!

My mirror is no longer ever clean

What she is up to now:

~walking, running, jumping, twirling, dancing... and climbing everything
~talking up a storm, only understand about half of it but she has A LOT to say!
~plays well with other children
~gives hugs and kisses, waves by-by while saying "see ya!"
~has mastered the art of a "death stare" as we call it
~matches shoes and the tops to her sippy cups
~assists in dressing herself
~ uses a spoon and fork (makes a bit of a mess but does very well) drinking pretty well from a big girl cup
~throws a small ball (sometimes it goes behind her)
~feeds the dog breakfast and dinner and gives her treats
~scribbles (loves markers!!! Thank god for washable markers!!)
~shares toys (and food!)
~loves to clean (takes baby wipes/tissues/paper towels and wipes every surface she can reach)
~sleep down between 730-8 and up 630-7. Taking one nap a day for about 1-1.5 hours (every now and then we get 2 hours)
~weight: 22 lbs 3 oz (10-25%) height: 34 1/2 (>95%) She is still my tall skinny girl!!


I think my little girl is a little OCD. She is very set in her ways. I've tried introducing a new spring jacket, which results in world war 3 with a huge crying fit till she get the heavy weight jacket she's been wearing for awhile (may have to hide it but we still have some cooler mornings) She knows that the mega blocks go in a certain contain and if you try to put other toys in with them she has a fit and empties the box (same thing with the balls) She knows our moring routine and if I try to change it (go laydown in our room for a few minutes before milk/waffle/cereal) she fusses (loudly) I guess its these little things that make her her!! And why we love her so much!!
