Well my sweet baby girl is now two-and-a-half!! I can hardly believe it! I blinked and she went from this chubby little baby to a beautiful little lady. Whoever said the twos were terrible never had a daughter like Leah! This is my favorite age so far. She carries on full conversations with me. She's witty and funny. And she has the sweetest, kindest heart. She loves her brother Chase. She's always kissing him and talking to him and bringing him toys. She's not real fond of him slobbering on her toys though.. She says "don't eat that bubba!" The other morning when Chase woke up she put her hand on his cheeks and said "aww look how cute you are bubba!"
She loves to play outside but she doesn't like to get dirty...if she spills something on her shirt she wants a new shirt immediately. She is stubborn and has a one-track mind. If she is looking for a certain toy (ie a little Minnie Mouse figurine or a tiny plastic flower) she will ask you to find it and won't let it go until you find it! We have learned to keep a close eye on her precious toys. She also has some slight OCD errr organization issues... She loves to line things up and everything has to be in place and if not she flips out. For example if the pillow falls off the couch or if the bed sheets are bunched up in the middle.
She's a great listener. She doesn't do much to warrant time outs but she does get them occassionally. She has to sit on the stool in her room for 2 mins and afterwards she kisses me and says "sorry mommy!"
She is so smart and picks up on things really quickly. She potty trained in less than 2 days!
She loves animals. She loves books. She's obsessed with Barney, Cat in the Hat, and Tinkerbell.
She's daddy's princess and has him wrapped around her little finger. She knows if she wants something to put her hands on daddy's cheeks, kiss his forehead, and say "please daddy?"
Yesterday she told me "mommy, you're my best friend!"
I love that little girl!!!
Chase is 5 months now! He is developing quite the personality. Now that his GERD medication is the right dose, he is such a happy boy! He loves to lay on the floor and play with his toys. He "attempts" to crawl and rolls his way to whatever he wants (usually to get to Leah). He loves his daddy. He has trouble eating during the day but he scarfs down 10 oz before bedtime. He's still not sleeping through the night..he's up every few hours but usually goes back to sleep. He doesn't really take a binky no matter how hard we want him to sometimes. He's 22 lbs and wears 18-24 month clothes! At around 5pm every night all he wants to do is be held. He gets a bath and goes to bed at 7 and by that time my back kills!!
He loves cruising around in his walker. Leah could only ever go backwards in hers but he gets all over the house! He loves the swing at the park and he also loves being outside. Tim and I are slowly forgetting the cries and screaming that consumed the first 3 months of his life. He's turning into our happy little guy and we just love him!!
