Weight- Should I just get rid of this... I am so terrible at it!
Hair- Well I have tried to do one pony, but we lose some of the fine hairs in the front and those fall in your face. It makes you look so OLD, I mean as old as a toddler can look... Anyway, I love doing your hair and you look adorable :)
Clothes- I've been purging the 18 month clothes getting them ready for Makena. Your summer outfits are nice. We have had to improvise jammies.. Your sets are just too warm for you so we find comfy shorts and a top for you instead.
Teeth- Nothing too exciting here.. You have a denstist appointment this month, number 2!
New Skills- Still new words all the time. You are willing to repeat just about anything (beware).
You figured out how to get out of the crib... For about a week before our vacation, you would get out of bed, grab some toys and get back in bed with them. So you still didn't just play in your room, you played on bed. Since we've come back from vacation, you have yet to return to the routine.
You're getting ready to run... getting your footing a bit better and that's been fun to watch.
You have just started taking your shopping cart with you when we go get the mail... it's adorable.
Shoes- You can successfully put on your shoes as long as you don't get frustrated.
Time-outs... ok not a super impressive 'new skill' but it's worth mentioning. We have dedicated a spot on the floor in the hall to the laundry for your 'time out spot' You haven't had to go there a lot, but you have had to go... I can tell you to go and you do it! You will also put yourself there if you're really frustrated. It's kind of cute.
Foods- Blueberries were fleeting... I bought a giant container at the Farmer's Market and all of a sudden they were 'yucky'. You seem to be kind of picky lately, might be that whole upset of the routine thing. I'm sure we'll get past it. Oh a new fun one... I can peel a banana and give it to you and you'll eat from it. It's pretty cute to watch you look like a little monkey :)
Favorite moments-
Watching you hang out with Gramma and Poppa in Birch Bay was really fun!
You did pretty good in the car for what we put you through, it was a long trip!
On 4th of July you did great! We went to the Campbell's for a BBQ and some fun. We weren't able to stay late since Daddy had to work, but we were there for plenty of fun. We even lit off some fireworks and played with sprinklers. You normally don't really like loud noises so I was hesitant. The Shinners' brought extra ear muffs and you did great. The sparklers intrigued you and you loved watching the other 'Big Booms' as we learned that phrase that night.
You have stopped falling out of bed for the most part.
Least Favorite moment-
The "Red Robin" incident was awful.. and it was on your 22 month-day. If you didn't see the trip post... just to recap, Peyton was in a booster on the outside of the booth (our mistake) and she wiggled, fell over, and dropped about 3 feet right onto her head. Big old goose egg and lots of crying and grumpiness :(
Loss of our Routine.. It seems that since we've been back from the vacation you've had trouble particularly with the sleeping routine. Pre-trip: Bedtime between 7 and 8, up between 9:30-10:30, and a 2ish hour nap mid afternoon. Post-Trip: Bedtime between 8 and 9, up between 8:30-9:30 and we are getting you up 1 1/2 hour into nap as we try to return to the routine. Also, you were fine with playing in bed before sleeping or after you got up. Lately, you cry before going to bed and you whimper pretty pathetically when you wake up... I'd like that Pre-trip routine to return!
Anything else?
Yikes!! Good to know that we shouldn't put the booster seat on the outside of the booth. I wouldn't really have thought of that. And Roman is a major wiggler in those things.
