20 months

After eating a chocolate chip cookie

My girl is getting so big!! I can't believe in just four short months she will be two! 

Here's what she's been up to lately - 

• taking 1 nap each day and sleeping 12 hours or so at night.

• eating super well, as usual. Her favorite things right now are raisins, broccoli, bananas, peanut butter (she loves to eat it off the spoon just like her mama), cheese, peas, and pancakes.

• being a great helper! Whenever Levi is done with a bottle, she goes and throws it in the sink for me. She also helps unload the dishwasher, do the laundry, put dirty clothes in her basket, throw diapers away and help me with whatever cleaning I'm doing. It's a blessing to have her help, even though she still needs lots of guidance. I love to see her willing spirit.

• reading books is still one of her favorite things to do. She currently loves Curious George and Raggedy Ann books. 

• playing with Levi. She does pretty well playing with him, although when he tries to grab what she's playing with, she'll hit or kick him. We are working on sharing!

• playing with ice cubes! She will sit and play with them for the longest time!

• being a girly girl! She loves getting all dressed up, wearing bracelets and necklaces and hairbows. She also loves shoes!

• loving showers, baths, sprinklers, pools and splash pads. She just loves water!

• playing at the park is another favorite thing! She will go down the slide over and over, and swing for a long time. We're hoping to get a swing set soon (one of Jacob's aunts is giving us their swing set since their grandkids are older now. Jacob just hasn't had time to move it yet.).

• getting excited about the new baby! The last few days she's been putting a ball up her shirt and saying "baby, baby." It's hilarious!

• getting her first slush at Sonic!!! 

We love you sweet girl, and thank the Lord everyday for you!
