Twenty Two Months Old!!


Twenty two months old - February 20, 2014



Ann Parker turned 22 months old last Thursday.  I spent the day without her, flying to NYC for a quick get away, so this post is a little late.  I cannot believe that we are two months away from TWO and it's time to plan her party...but here we are!  

She is such a sweet, smart little girl and we just adore her.  She constantly amazes us with the things she has learned - saying the ABC's by herself, counting well past 10 and backwards from 10 to "blastoff", speaking in sentences, identifying her feelings (letting us know when she is scared, startled, hungry, sad, etc.), singing songs clearly (jingle bells, twinkle twinkle, let it go, swing low sweet chariot are a few of her favs), and oh so much more.  We get reports from church and school about how clear and large her vocabulary is.  I guess that is one of the perks to learning alongside a big sibling!

She is so kind and polite.  She uses the words please, thank you, and your welcome all the time.  She asks us if we are okay if we sneeze, trip, really anything.  The first thing she wants to do most mornings is to hug Caroline and tell her that she loves her.  

Her favorite foods are strawberries, chicken, macaroni, cheese, and grapes.  Her favorite shows are Jojo Circus, Doc McStuffins, Sofia the First, and Bubble Guppies.  She loves almost anything outside, anything art related, anything music or dance related, and bubbles.  She's a pretty easy to please girl.  

She still isn't sleeping well, but it is getting better.  Good thing because she is going to be a big sister this fall and we don't want to be up with two kiddos!  

She is still mostly a mama's girl, but we have had a small daddy's girls streak.  She loves to be held and gives the best hugs and kisses.  She is just so sweet!  Well, most of the time she is sweet.  She has been known to throw a nice little tantrum.  She gets in a mood and then it's best to stay clear.  Other than these tantrums (which really aren't that often), she is a pretty easy child.  She listens well, eats well, is easy to calm down, and loves to please.  

Happy 22 sweet girl! We love you to the moon and back times infinity!  I am so blessed to be your mommy!
