It's like WHATEVER!
Annabelle is 29 months
Here are some memories I have of Annabelle from this month....
1. When we were at my sister's Brittany's shower I saw her friend, Helen. I have only met Helen once, but she is the type of person that just after one meeting she is a life long friend. So when I saw her I ran up to her and gave her a huge hug and told her how happy I was so see her. Annabelle then came running up behind me and gave Helen a huge hug too!!! It was the cutest thing. I wonder what had went on her mind...I think it went something like this..."If Mommy loves her then I do too!"
2. Her favorite thing to do around that house is to find money and put it in the piggy bank. "Mommy, lets put this in the piggy bank," she'll say. We also have been learning to count it before we put it in. Her bank is getting pretty full!
3. She has been burping a lot lately. When she burps I say, "Excuse you." So she has started to say, "Excuse you" when she burps! Now I am trying to teach her that when she burps she needs to say, "Excuse me," not "Excuse you."
4. Just the other day, looking very scared she ran into the kitchen and asked me to pick her up. She then pointed toward the hallway. We knew then she'd seen something that scared her. In the hallway by the bathroom was a spider! Daddy stepped on it and told her it was a spider. She said, "I was really scared." Followed by, "Daddy caught it, YEAH, Daddy!!"
5. She is learning the meaning of privacy and tells us she needs privacy. Sometimes her privacy is warranted ...like going to the bathroom, sometimes however she uses this statement to get away with something. For instance, getting in the treat bag when she isn't suppose to be in it!
6. I was sad at bedtime that she didn't want to snuggle me, and she noticed and said, "Mommy, why are you sad?" I told her why and she, "Mommy don't be sad."
7. She loves to sing! I need to do a post just of her songs! She is pretty good...and lately she is articulating very well.
8. This one just happened tonight --- Josh and Annie were snuggling watching a movie. I came in and snuggled up to them and she started pushing me out of the way and said, "No that's my snuggles. How about you wash the dishes!" Josh and I died laughing, which didn't help because then she kept telling me to go wash the dishes! Piece of work!
9. Her new favorite words is, "Delicious!" Everything is delicious, even if the next sentence is "I don't like it."
