Princesses Charlotte & Alayna
Charlotte is coming up on 21 months old. I've been meaning to write down some of the things she is doing these days so I can look back and remember. Some of these are things she's been doing for months and others are more recent.
Has a new found attachment to Elmo. She's been carrying him around everywhere she goes. Last week, she found another stuffed Elmo at Grammy & Pop's house and now she carries TWO Elmo's, she takes them both everywhere too... to bed, in the car, in the high chair, basically anytime she leaves the house. She always used to have to grab some toy when we left the house but it was always random. Now it's always Elmo 1 & 2, then add a sippy cup and possibly her elephant from the circus. I don't know how those little hands can hold so much! :)
Repeats the entire alphabet, skipping only W. (I say A then she says A, etc)
Recognizes the letters Y and B. Both letters are on her bedding and she'll point to them and say the letter all on her own.
Counts to 6 all by herself. Then she'll randomly say 8, 9. :)
Points to all her body parts.
Loves to brush her teeth.
Says "potty" then squats down to poop. We were at a party over the weekend where she kept looking at me saying "potty" and grabbing at her bum. I took her up to change her and sure enough, she needed to be changed. She'll also sit on the potty with her clothes on. I'm hoping this means when we start actually potty training it won't be too bad since she seems to understand a little.
Says a ton of animal sounds. When she sees an animal she makes the noise instead of saying the name of the animal. She's been doing this since around 13-14 months old. Here are some of the animals: lion, doggie, bunny (boing boing), frog, duck, bird, snake, bee, kitty, owl, monkey, cow, sheep, elephant, pig, horse, turkey. I'm sure there are more, I just can't think of them all! :)
Actually gets air when she jumps.
Does just about all the dances from the Wiggles.
Gets some decent speed when she runs.
She loves to kick a ball.
My favorite new thing -- She's starting to venture more and more away from Mommy. We can go to a party and she doesn't have to be clung to me anymore, she's getting better at playing with the other kids.
I think we finally found a food she doesn't like, cheesecake!
Loves all fruits and veggies. Brocolli, peas and carrots seem to be her favorites. When I picked her up from daycare recently, Janet commented on how she gave the kids brocolli for lunch and all the kids protested and didn't eat it except Charlotte. She ate all of hers!!! :)
Loves to read books, her current favorite is a recipe book of Christmas cookies. I know, this is random but she pulled it off the shelf one day and points to each cookie and says "cookie" in her sweet little voice. She also really likes Where's My Binket, Mr Brown Can Moo and Happy Giddy.
Watches baseball & football on TV, she claps if someone gets a hit or kicks a field goal. Other favorite shows include Jepardy, the Simpsons (or Bart as she calls it), Sesame Street and The Wiggles.
Loves to "talk on the phone". She's got a few toy phones. The people I hear her "talking" to most are Mamma, Daddy, Lainey, Pop, "Me" (Grammy), Sue and Auntie.
Is starting to put a couple words together like "my elmo".
Places Lainey's tennis ball in Lainey's mouth then claps like she and Lainey just did some spectacular trick!
