26 Months


These last six months have been awesome.  You are developing such a huge personality.  You are funny! You love making jokes and making other people laugh. 

Some things you love to do:
-go in the jacauzzi with Dada.  You can blow bubbles and submerge your face now.  You love jumping, playing with cups and floating on your back and tummy (with Dada's help).
-Race! You count to three (you can go all the way to 7 now!) and shout "Go" and then you are off.  You are getting so fast.  And you always tell Mama.."Fast, fast"
-carry bags and purses and other "stuff".  Sometimes you have so many things in your hands that you can barely walk.  Almost always included: baby, baby's blanket, Goodnight Moon and at least one purse. 
-eat berries, ice cream, soup ("soups") and noodles of any sort
-school! You are a catapillar at Lamb's Gate this year. And you love it. Miss Julie is your wonderful teacher and your best friends are Carolien, Mason and Isiah. 
- open gym class- you are great at hanging on the bar, walking on the balance beam and jumping on the trampoline. 

Your current favorite movie is Cinderella.   You just got over loving The Sound of Music and we still watch it, Despicable Me and Wall-E a lot. 

You have learned the art of negotiation, sort of.  Whenever you want something and we say no, you say "One?, please!" and stick your little pointer finger out.  It cracks up both us.  You have also started requesting "2 minutes" when we tell you it is time for nap or bedtime. 

We lost your baby sister this week.  Her name was June and she was born at 19 weeks old.  We miss her so much and are so sad.  Part of the reason we are so sad is because we wanted you to have a sister so badly.  You would have been 2.5 years apart and I think you would have adored your little sister.  I imagined that you would have helped Mama take care of her.  You would have been protective and sweet with her.  

Mama and Dada just adore you and have so much fun watching you grow and learn new things.
