I figure it was time for an update on the Original Lex Lyons Cub.
This little lady of ours is certainly one of a kind. She's smart, and sassy, and funny and makes our hearts melt into a million pieces when she wants... and turns around and knows just what buttons to push to keep us on our toes.
I'm reminded daily that the 2's are hard. The 3's are harder. It's a constant strain on my patience, throw in my lack of sleep from a newborn and I can certainly at test to the daily challenges this age brings with it.
Meltdowns just because.
Not listening. Just because
Throwing toys. Dumping toys. Jumping off furniture. All. Day. Every. Day.
All that said. She's really the sweetest little lady, helpful and thoughtful and soaking up everything there is to hear and learn.
She loves her little brother, something fierce, and can not wait to see him every day after school.
She loves to snuggle, to hug, to kiss, and to still be held.
She is sleeping like a champ in her big girl bed, but is an early riser.
We have been toying around with potty training for a few months now.... maybe 6 months actually, but they say when it clicks, it just clicks... and it finally did.
Within the past week or two she has really come a long way. She asks to pee in the potty, even if we are out and she has a diaper on. She hasn't had any accidents as of yet, but we are supper on her very 30 min asking if she has to pee. M&M's also may have something to do with it!
Her favorite toys at the moment... cooking in her kitchen, tea parties, baby dolls, blocks, playing doctor and giving check-ups, her tool kit to fix anything and everything, books, stickers, painting, play dough, washing dishes, building forts, and anything outside. She loves being outdoors, in the snow, rain or sunshine. We take lots of walks, have tea parties, check the mail, run in the yard, play ball and hide n seek.
Favorite foods.... cucumbers, avocados, carrots and dip, peppers, grilled chicken, pork, hot dogs, apple sauce, cheese sticks, yogurt, crackers, raisons, pretzels and noodles.
Favorite treats... popsicles, ice cream, gummies, chips, and juice.
Favorite songs... Frosty the Snowman, Jingle Bells and Shake It Off, by T-swift.
We brush our teeth and say our prayers every night before bed. It's precious to hear her list off mom and dad, and me and baby Ford, and Mimi & Garfield, and Gia and GranDe and my cousins, and all my friends... melts my heart.
Favorite books... Bearenstain Bears Trick or Treat, Clifford's Valentine, Richard Scary's Big Word Book.
Paw Patrol and Doc McStuffins are crowd favorites. Bubble Guppies too!
Wearing 3T and some 4T clothes (mostly one piece outfits, jammies, etc)
Wears size 9/10 in shoes.
Knows her ABC's pretty well - mostly the song. Can recognize some letters. Knows her shapes and colors and can count to almost 20.
You still love a good routine. Dinner is around 5:30/6, bath around 7 and bedtime is around 8.
My last update was at 23 months. At least I started that blog with... "this will probably be my last monthly update for you."
I did pretty good for her first two years of life though:
We love you baby girl!
