Annalee Estelle | 23 months

Our sweet baby girl! I can not believe you are about to be 2 AND a Big Sister! I'm pretty sure this will also be my last "monthly post" for you. But I'm so glad we kept up with these (well, almost), it's already so fun to look back and read what you were up to during your first two years of life.
This season in life has been so fun. You're singing and talking up a storm. You are a sponge - soaking up everything we do and say. It's amazing how much you love your routine - no matter what that is - and how much you remember.
You love airplanes and the slide, baby dolls, reading, tea parties, bubbles, coloring and anything outside. Elmo and Clifford are crowd favorites. Popsicles are your favorite after-school snack, but you haven't quite figured out that once we make them, they have to freeze... we are working on patience.
You're up around 7/7:30 a.m. and typically we wake up to you signing, standing - calling for your paci, or hearing you un-do your diaper - to which we immediately come running. When we catch you taking it off you just look at us, shake your finger and say "no, no, no!" With the cutest lil face.
You're a solid 31 pounds and at least 32 inches tall - topping all the growth charts. You're wearing 2T clothes and size 5 diapers. I feel like every day you've grown another rich and learned a new phrase or sentence. 
You are very adventurous - running, galloping, climbing and swinging.

You love to eat! Avocados, bananas, yo-yo, apples and applesauce, green beans, peppers, strawberries, melons, CHEESE, pork, chicken, chips, Cheetos, veggie straws, peanut butter crackers, goldfish, pouches, fig bars, cereal, oatmeal, hot dogs, waffles, toast w/jelly. I could go on and on... but you are usually open to trying anything and really love "dips" - ranch, ketchup, etc.
You've learned how to get your own water from the fridge and are pretty good with a regular cup (most of the time). You also have learned to blow your nose - it's so precious.
You're in the bath around 6:30/6:45 on a typical night followed by PJs, hair drying and Wheel of Fortune. Yes, we are regular wheel watchers now. You love it - it's hilarious when she starts asking for it after dinner. You also have to have your warm milk in a cup while you watch "Wheel."
We brush teeth sometime after Wheel - sometimes it's 7:30, sometimes 8, 8:15, 8:30 these days. Then it's a couple books in your room and songs while momma rocks you to "almost sleep." Some nights you ask for your crib and want to stretch out, otehrtimes you just wanna snuggle with mom. Which I certainly don't mind these days. Soaking up every once of this precious time with my baby girl.

We love you baby girl! 

xo, Momma
