As i am typing this i am watching you turn into such a big girl and not a baby anymore. you went to the edge of the bed where your brother and sister were sitting and plopped yourself inbetween them and started bee bopping like they were. We absolutely love this stage and the little toddler you are becoming.

Sleepwise you have finally got down to one long afternoon nap that usually starts early at like 11 because you are tired by then. you take long 3 hour naps for me and always wake up happy as can be. you usually go to bed around 8ish but don’t have a set bedtime at all. you also sleep in pretty good and usually wake up around 7:30-8. Sleeps with paci and blankie and usually we are naughty and let you bring a bottle.

Eating wise you are the best little eater. Breakfast is sometimes the meal i struggle the most to find things for you to eat. doesn’t want cereal, with take waffle/pancakes, do love toast and eggs. Lunch and Dinner you seem to eat so well – always eat whatever i make the other kids. just moved you to the table and that has gone super well and so much less mess than the high chair. She loves hotdogs, yogurt, all pasta meals, all meat, all fruit and not much of a veggie girl yet. Loves milk so so much compared to our other kids who didn’t care for it much as toddlers. Happy to just eat off our plates and let us feed her. Loves fries and ice cream when we eat out.

Is just now starting to really explode her vocabulary which seems later than her siblings but she is so much more laid back and much more De Ronde with not much to say. Vocab so far is : mom dad I-at (Wyatt) Duke, uh-oh, E-I-E-O, cheese, here you go, football, where is it, love you, yum and can copy pretty much anything we say. Can identify her whole family in a picture. starting to know body parts. loves to clean and knows how to put stuff away and where they go, and just truly understands what commands we are giving loves her baby dolls so much and screams when someone else has one she wants. loves seeing babies and is so interested in them so will be a great big sister. loves her puppies but not them in her face. loves daily walks with mom, always along for the ride and starting to walk with quite the sass. Definitely our fit thrower which we have never had…. so trying to figure out how to deal with that.
