New Things

*Finally putting two words together! First one was "more Ford"  and another cute one was  "more me" when looking at pictures of herself.

*Finally now saying Mimi! And saying Fordy for Ford, the cutest! (I call Ford Fordy all the time) Also, calls Athena "Theen" or Woof Woof

*Jumps with both feet

*Last month I said she plays independently SO well. It's still true a lot of times, but her most said word is " 'mon " (come on). She wants someone playing with her, RIGHT next to her a lot!

*Has been going to the gym childcare 2-5 times a week all month and loves it.

*Very, very proud of artwork she brings home from MOPS and the gym childcare

*Pouts! Oh man, when she doesn't get her way she huff and puffs off and will lay face down and wait for us to notice her....hahah

*Has started to voice her opinion when I announce we're leaving somewhere she doesn't want to. She used to just go with the flow, but she is starting to realize she can throw a little fit and try to make me stay longer....

*Quite the little mother. Bathes, rocks, feeds, kisses, lays down, pats her babies backs.

*Girlfriend DANCES ALL DAY LONG. All day! Shakes her little booty when she's happy about anything, which happens all day long!

*Very into twirling when she gets a new outfit on. Also likes to show off her new outfit and hear compliments ;)

*Social butterfly! Never meets a stranger. We had a few new people come visit for evenings at our house, or out to dinner with this month and she immediately show off!

*On that note, loves to show off in front of new people!

*Could do sidewalk chalk all day long, everyday

*"Draws" our family...draws dots or blobs and assigns "mama" or "dada" or "me"

*Has been in a big daddy phase- gets really excited when he gets home and a lot of times asks for "dada" when she gets up in the morning and nap

*Still has a tough time sharing! Has a bad habit of swiping toys out of friends (and cousins, haha) hands

*Always claim she's talking to Papa on the phone. Always Papa. Haha

*Does her shape sorter correctly and easily now. Also identifies shapes correctly and says "star" and "heart" when she sees them

..........and that's a wrap!!! No more monthly posts for our little two year old!!!!!
