-Since her Birthday, her language has exploded. I can have little conversations with her now...and if I don't understand what she's saying and don't respond with the right thing, she will say "no" and say what she's trying to say over and over again. It's so cute.
-She is amazing at knowing her colors. She still is grasping brown, gray, white and red but, is great with the others. I love saying what color is this? And she will reply without hesitation the color that it is. Her favorite colors seem to be blue and pink.
-She loves to chasse and does it all over the house. Sometimes we chase each other doing it. It's so fun. She loves this one dance sequence that she does in class. She will do it all over the house, too. It's like, "this is your left hand, this is your right hand, open and shut them and do a little wave..."
-She has really gotten into Barbie dolls, Trains and Legos lately. She likes to stack the Legos up really high and gets very frustrated if the tower breaks. Frustrated has been our feeling of the month.
-On the feelings note, she grasps the feelings of sad, mad and happy really well. I love it when she tells me, "Happy!" Especially if I haven't seen her in a few hours.
-When she draws, she tries to draw people now. Some times it looks like a person (with eyes, nose, mouth, neck and hair typically) and sometimes it looks like a sea of dots. For some reason, Grandpa is always a sea of dots and Granny has two added circles under her neck (lol).
-She is still really into books. She loves to read books on her own and express moments she remembers from that page. Reading books with her is a moment I cherish every day. It's the BEST moment of my day. We read before nap and bed.
-Her favorite TV shows lately have been Thomas the Train, Sponge Bob (Don't get me started....), and Curious George (still). Doc McStuffins in a close 4th and Sesame Street is probably 5th. She loves the music from Yo Gabba Gabba and will watch it on my iPad occasionally but, on the TV she never wants it. Other shows she's kinda into is Bubble Guppies and Little Einsteins. We typically just watch TV in the morning after she wakes and cuddle and then we watch after nap. Now, with my new job, we have to be out the door earlier some days so cuddling gets cut short. I'm not big on her watching a lot of TV. Over the Christmas break we were a bit lazy but, during our normal routine, I hate having the TV on.
-She sleeps with a sea of dolls at night now, they include: 2 Curious George dolls, 1 Muno doll, 1 Brobee doll, 1 DJ Lance Doll, 1 Cookie Monster Doll (aka: Gaga) and 1 Doc McStuffins doll. When I get her from the crib each morning, she likes to name each one, tell me who gave them to her and hand them to me. She also likes to have 3 blankets on her each night and enjoys counting 1, 2, 3 as I put them on her. She also must have socks "sockies".
-She is rocking a 6PM bed time (I know, crazy). If she doesn't nap that day, she's out quick but if she does, she will typically hang out and sometimes not fall asleep until 8. I know, I'm lucky. She sleeps until 7ish most days.
-She is really, really loving school. Today, she went back after the break and was literally running in the door. I love seeing how much she loves school. Her teachers are so amazing with her, too.
-When she plays now with friends, it's more cooperative instead of just parallel play. It's really fun to watch her throw a ball with a friend, etc. So cute!
-She is still an eating monster.
