2.5 Years Old, I can't believe it

Well my sweet girl, you are officially 2.5 years old!!! I can't even believe it. I missed doing your update by a few days but still wanted to capture what you are doing at 2.5 years old!

You are getting more and more independant every day and we are hearing more and more "I do it myself" Like getting in your high chair or car seat to name a few.

You are very demanding in mommy's car about what you would like to listen too. We have a few cd's and then mommy's ipod that have all sorts of toddler tunes. From just about when we get in the car you are telling me what you want to listen to. You often want to listen to the same songs over and over. When we get to one you don't like that day you are very quick to say "no like this one, or skip!"

You love to jump! You have mastered jumping with two feet and do it all the time. Sometimes just for fun or like yesterday when you said you were being a bunny.

You are still peeing on the potty when you want to which is great, but mommy really hopes to see an improvement in your potty using in the next couple weeks.

Your speech patterns have changed a lot in the last few weeks. You are using more and more complete sentences and saying multiple sentences together.

You love your blankies and they will always fix whatever ails you. As you say "blankies make it all better" You must have your blankies to sleep with and with you a good part of the time. You are not a fan when they need to be washed. But when I do wash them, you tell me for days that Blankies are all fresh and clean.

You are so affectionate lately. If i had been gone the night before or whatever the next day you will give me big hugs and say "you came back!" You are also telling me you love me more and more which melts mommy and daddy's hearts. You will say it unprompted or if I say I love you, you say "I love you too mommy" SOOOO sweet

I love seeing you grow and change everyday and love your happy spirit. You are almost always in a great mood! I love you big girl!!!
