This has probably been one of the biggest months of your little life. You became a big sister! You have absolutely exceeded our expectations of this new role! We could not be more proud of how you have handled this transition. You were a little clingy to Mommy after our hospital stay, but that is definitely something we can live with! One day you won't want me in your sight every second, so I'm soaking it up.
Things you love right now:
- bugging Gus
- Going on bear hunts
- going bye bye
- climbing into your car seat by yourself
- looking at yourself in the mirror (oh dear!)
- You say soooo many phrases now!
- Watching sesame street in your pink chair
- playing with my lotions, or as you call them 'creams'
- reading your Little People school book
- eating with utensils--you can scarf down some pasta like it's your job!
- smoothies
- cherries
- watching 'Baby Exi' on our phones
- Baking/cooking
- bunny crackers
- Buy Buy Baby (you call it the baby store)
You know 90% of your letters, we have started working on numbers now. You LOVE and thrive during our learning time together. We are so amazed at the things you say and do. One morning, before baby Kason was born, Daddy was going to get up with you and take you to the living room. You didn't want to leave me, but I told you I'd be in there in a few minutes. Your response, "Mama up, cook eggs." You knew I would get up to cook for you! Haha Another thing you did this month while you were walking with Kason and I back to our house from Nana's house...you 'borrowed' Lo's Minnie Mouse, and I kept telling you to follow me home so we could get Kason inside. Of course you ventured off on your own, so I made it my mission to get him inside out of the cold, and go back out to grab you. When you saw me coming, you laughed and ran. When I made it to where you were, you had Lo's Minnie in the swing swinging.
We play white noise for Kason when he sleeps to mask out the chaos of our house. You wanted the iPad that we were playing it with, so you went and grabbed his sleep sheep (which also plays white noise), turned it on, and traded it out. Smart little cookie!
During our prayer one night, you say, "Thank you God Dada, thank you god ilk (milk), thank you God Mama." Melted our hearts....You have also started resting your head on our shoulders when we carry you. You have never been much of a snuggled, except when sleeping, so we are thrilled and welcome this stage with open arms (literally)!
You do not get in trouble often, but there are a few times we have to put you in time out. You are only there for a minute or two, but you certainly do not like to be isolated from everyone. You kept telling your daddy No, No, No Dada...he calmly told you not to tell Daddy no, and when you did it again, you had to say sorry, and then you sat down on the floor and mocked him. We both had to cover our heads because we were cracking up! You certainly are going to keep us on our toes!
We fall more in love with you each day, and are so excited to continue to watch you grow and develop in this new role you now wear proudly.
