Monthly Memories

Today I am 25 Months old!

I am no longer doing the Monthly Milestones because she is at a point where she is doing and saying about everything! So instead I want to start to journal monthly memories we have of her- funny stories, silly routines and just any moment that we want to remember.

1. Her favorite words are "Be Careful!" She even says it to herself, when climbing out of her booster seat or coming down the stairs.

2. She has this routine at nighttime before she goes to bed. When one of us is laying down with her she will go through a list of things that she wants such as fruit snacks and say "I want fruit snacks" to which we reply, "You can have fruit snacks tomorrow." This routine continues until she runs out of things that she wants. One night was especially precious as she came to the end she said, "I want snuggles" and her Daddy said, "Now that is something you can have right now!" And she rolled over and put her arms around him!

3. She likes to keep her Bible in her Princess Aurora treasure box. We began reading the Bible together and memorizing it, we are working on Psalm 23.

4. She like to play with play-doh, school (a magnetic box of letter and cards), tea party, and color.

5. She started going to the 2 year old class at church. One week after she had gone for the first time we were talking on Sunday morning about all the people she would see at church and she said, "I See Jesus at church." Just goes to show she was listening during her class!

6. She loves to sing, "This is the Day, This is the Day that the Lord has made" with her instruments!

7. She likes Grapes. Today she told me so. She said, "I like Grapes!" She also loves fruit snacks, candy, chocolate milk, and Hannah (Montana) yogurt.

8. She loves to say "No," what two year old doesn't? We are working on this one, along with being obedient the first time asked.

9. She has started to throw temper tantrums...even at the store....last night at Waldenbooks in the mall because she wanted a princess coloring book. We were good parents and DID NOT buy her the coloring book!(I believe this is payback for all the temper tantrums I threw as a kid!)

10. She is a good shopper, this seems to contradict the last one, but overall she is so well behaved in the grocery stores, is friendly to everyone she meets and says thank you when they give her a cookie at the bakery!

11. She counts from 1-10 with little assistance and can go to 20 with a little more help!

12. She continues to be a little chatterbox and blesses our heart. We are constantly amazed at the thing she says, what she understands, and the energy she has.
