Shoes: Size 4
Diapers: Size 4 diapers during the day and we bought some nightime size 4 diapers that are supposed to hold more at night since we've had a few mornings where you've leaked through.
Sleep:We've been getting to bed a little bit later this summer. You are in bed by 8:30 or 9:00 and sleeping until about 8:00 am. It varies everyday and sometimes it's 11 and sometimes you get 12 hours of sleep.
Teeth: 12! No new teeth this month.
Traveling: We have not gone anywhere this month. Mommy 's belly is keeping us close to home.
Talking: I can't even begin to think of some new words this month. You really can't count them anymore. I can introduce 10 new words to you in one day and you'll repeat all of them and then start using three of them. You repeat everything we say and it's amazing what you are able to communicate with us. You are using three and sometimes four word sentences quite regularly.
Favorite Books: Mommy took you to the library the other day and you got hooked on a book with a bike in it. You still love Danny and the Dinosaur, but you also love this book with shapes, colors, and numbers in it. It has a ton of different pictures and you love that!
Favorite Foods: string cheese, veggie pouches, BROCCOLI, mac n cheese, strawberries, and grapes.
Foods Dislike: You have quite a few....you are very apprehensive about trying new foods. Lynda, at daycare, made you a fruit smoothie the other day and you would not try it. She knew you would like it so she forced some on your lips so you had to lick it. Of course you loved it and drank the rest silly girl!
Favorite Songs: I don't know if you have a favorite song, but Daddy sings to you Jesus Loves You and Amazing Grace before bed. Mommy sings to you Pistol Packin Mama, and Adelveise before bed and you will instantly shut your eyes and snuggle with us in your chair.
Dislikes: Getting dressed or not being able to communicate what you want to us. Some days when you are crabby you scream when you get frustrated or don't get what you want. We first tell you no screaming it hurts our ears. If you do it again we get more firm with you and let you know a time-out is coming/no screaming. If you scream a third time we put you in your crib with no toys, paci's or bunny for a little over a minute. It usually does the trick.
Things we are learning: We tried potty training and you did great with the part of telling me you were about to go, were in the process, or had just gone, but when I hurried you to the potty you got really upset about sitting on there. We'll try again when you show more of an interest in wanting to sit on the potty for longer periods of time. You still tell us almost every time that you have to go or have just gone. When we say it's time to go and change you, you'll lay on the floor and request to watch Bubble Guppies or Mickey Mouse. You say "Bubble Gee's or Mickey"! Your favorite character if Goofy. (We watch tv for five minutes when we change your diaper to get you to sit still). You also learned your name this month! So much fun! When we ask you tell us your name is "Bi-ya"! You can also identify circles, count to three, and with 90% accuracy identify the colors blue and pink!
Svea....who is cute=Me
Svea....who is smart=Me
Svea....who is funny=Me
This is a little game we play with you and it's so cute. You are starting to have so many different facial expressions and silly faces when we converse with you. You are the sweetest thing and love to laugh, giggle, and play. We love you sweet girl!
