I would have to say this was your busiest month to date. After two years of being home with you, your dad and I decided it was time not only for you to enjoy the company of other children your age, but for mommmy to return to work so that we can work toward our 2 year plan. Its an aggressive plan but your dad and I are motivated.
Knowing that our full days together were numbered I made sure we gout out and about and had as much fun as possible. Trips to the safari park were a weekly occurrence and we got to sit sometimes for as long as an hour watching the elephants. We had Shea come to our house to play, you went to Wyatt's house to play, we had bubble days, color days, dress up parties (just you and I" we lunched like ladies of leisure, we took naps, went for LONG walks, went shopping - you name it we did it and loved every minute.
You are a large vocabulary now - and can understand almost everything but you are still learning to announce your words. I can tell you try very hard and am proud of your enthusiasm. You absolutely love sitting on my lap and listening to me read your books before bed. Even though we have read the same books over and over you never grow tired of them. Your favorite books are jack in the beanstalk and goodnight moon.
You seem to have grown a bit tired of the ipad - and prefer to spend your time coloring. You will lay on your belly for half an hour repeatedly drawing little circles. I have kept some of these pages you are quite amazing - it makes me wonder what is going through your brain and what you will grow up to be.
I am amazed that soon you will be two. How did my tiny 7lb 11 oz baby grow up to be a sweet natured toddler so quickly!?
