Oops, with all of the Christmas fun going on, I didn’t even realize that our baby girl turned a whole YEAR and a HALF on Christmas Eve!! Here is what she’s up to these days:
- Wearing 12-18 month clothes, size 5 shoes, size 4 diapers.
- She eats all kinds of different foods…she loves apples, bananas, chips, popsicles, and really anything she can dip in ranch dressing or ketchup!
- She has 4 teeth on top, 3 on bottom, and has one molar trying to poke through in the back.
- She is really trying hard to talk these days, some new words she has added to her vocabulary are help, phone, cookies, tea, please, thanks. She calls herself May-May. She is starting to put 2 words together like “hi brother”, “help mama”, “thanks dada”. Her all time favorite words right now though are NO and MINE! I guess that comes with the territory of being a little sister!
- She LOVES Bubble Guppies, it is the only show she wants to watch. She will bring you the remote and say “bubble, bubble, bubble” until you turn it on. She would literally sit in the recliner and watch it over and over if we would let her. If I try to trick her and put on Team Umi Zoomi, as soon as it starts she starts yelling “No Zoom Zoom!!!” Even on her way to bed at night she waves at the TV and says “Ni-night Bubble”.
- She can be the sweetest loviest little thing, but man can she flip that switch and get an attitude! She knows how to pout, yells NO when she’s not getting what she wants, and will fall on the floor with all the dramatics in the world to let you know she’s not happy!
- She gets around so well, it amazes me to watch her use 2 hands to do things! She picks up stools and carries them around the house to get where she needs to go, always running through the house in her own little world, just busy.
- She loves to dress herself, just not correctly. She will go in Ryder’s drawers and get out a pair of his underwear, put both legs in one hole, then come out looking like she’s wearing a batman mini skirt!
- She still enjoys going potty, she’ll just randomly come tell us “Paaa Paaa” holding her diaper, we’ll run her to the bathroom and sure enough, she goes pee. She gets really proud of herself which is so cute. I bought the slip on diapers so they’re easier to get up and down when she wants to go. I never ask her or try to get her to go, I’m not ready for all that yet, but if she asks I take her!
- She loves her baby dolls, she has quite the collection already. For Christmas she got a little crib set and high chair for her baby and it’s adorable to watch her take care of them. She does everything right…lays them down with a blanket, tells us all to shhhhh, then wakes her baby up, feeds it, rocks it and burps it…such a little Mommy! You can usually find her walking around with FOUR babies in her arms, and she will make us tuck them all in to bed at night and Daddy has to kiss them each goodnight.
- Speaking of Daddy…having a little girl has turned him into quite the softy (I can say that way down on this bullet because I think he usually just skims the blog for pictures, no way has he read this far!). She melts him with just the way she looks at him. It’s the sweetest thing to watch them together although I might be in trouble in the future because I seriously think he’s never going to be able to get mad at her. She already does NO wrong in his eyes, then turns and gives me the evil eye when he’s not looking!
What a little personality this girl has. For some reason when I was pregnant I thought for sure our second child was going to be so shy and reserved…I guess I was picturing the exact opposite of Ryder. But I wouldn’t use those words to describe her at all, she is really coming into her own and making her voice heard these days!
