2 Years and 5 Months Old

Today you are 2 years and 5 months old. I'm treasuring each month because you are growing up so quick, and will be off to school before I know it! Not too long ago I wrote an update but since then I remembered some more stuff and you have been doing some new things.

You feed your Daddy and I imaginary food out of your hand and you make the sound effects.
You have massive temper tantrums where you lay flat on your back and wiggle all around while screaming. You will have a tantrum when you can't eat all the cookies, when you can't color on the walls etc.
You say "Come on Mommy!"
You love to dance and twirl around with your hands above your head with your finger tips touching like a ballerina.
You roll you cars everywhere. Up and down my arms, on the walls, on the chairs. You LOVE cars.
You mimic everything.
Riding your tricycle outside is one of your most favorite things to do, and you are great at it. I like to go on walks and you ride beside me. Never once do you drive off the sidewalk. You are a pro.
You have "chores" around the house to help you become a big girl. You are in charge of putting the wet clothes I hand you out of the wash into the dryer and closing the dryer door. Also you lift up the clean dishes (that are not hot) out of the dishwasher and hand then to me to put away. You keep your toys picked up, most of the time, too.
You have a very unique sleep schedule that works for our family. You go to bed at 11pm, wake up at 8am, nap at 10am-1pm, but most of the time you wake up from your nap around 12pm. You are a brat if you don't get enough sleep haha.
There are so many more things you do now; its hard to remember them all!

Ade Update

You are almost 2 years and 5 months old (5/21/12)... almost 2 1/2! Your favorite show is Curious George. You remind me so much of that cute little monkey getting into big trouble. You love to find that I have set a sharpie marker too close to the edge. You will color on the walls if I'm not quick enough to catch you. You love to play catch the ball with the cat, but Tiggy doesn't have near of a great time with it as you do haha.
You talk all the time! You love sounding out letters and know them all. I have been also teaching you the colors. You ask if everything is either blue or green. I wonder what your favorite color is. You sing now. You sing "la la la la la la" its really precious.
Today you saw your first humming bird. You really love birds. You'll see one out side and say "HI BIRD!" and when it flies away you say "Oh, bye bird" all sad. You hate bugs. Any kind of bug, it doesn't matter, you don't like it. You will run up to me and tell me "Mommy oh no bug! Mere!" Which means "come here". Then you will take my hand and show me. Yesterday you cried "Mommy mere!" and you were waving you arm like "hurry". So I walked out into the yard and you were bumping something with your shoe. I had you move your foot and realized it was a dead bird. I was yelling for you to go back inside and I had to get the shovel and throw it out of the yard yuck! You were a little confused about the whole ordeal. We came inside and washed our hands... I really hope you weren't out there touching it.
Also you love make up. It makes your whole day when you pull my purse off the counter top. I will find you painting your nails with my liquid eye liner, a big red ring of lipstick around your mouth, dots of eye shadow around your eyes. You are fascinated to watch me put on make up and more often than not I dust some powder on your cute nose.
You have a great sense of humor. You are cracking yourself up ALL THE TIME which in turn cracks me up haha. You can find humor in almost everything. You are quite silly and will no doubt get in trouble in school for being a class clown.
Some words I can not say around you or else you get so worked up are "Park, chocolate, chocolate milk, candy, color, snack" and many others haha.
Your favorite animals are pigs (you have a stuffed animal pig Penny who is your favorite), elephants, birds, fish, owls, ducks, cats and dogs and others.
You are very polite. You ask please, and say thank you and you say "elcom" which means "your welcome". You share your toys like a champ and make a new friend every time we go to the park. It seems other kids are just drawn to your lively personality and happy spirit.
Your favorite food is fish. Tilapia, salmon patties, fish sticks you love it all and eat every bite. You will more than likely be a fisher woman lol. Your favorite vegetable is corn, your favorite fruit is bananas, but you would rather snack on a veggie than a fruit any day. Your love for corn is so intense I have planted a garden outside with corn to show you how its made. You love to help me water the garden =)
I love you so much and I have fun watching you play all day. I like to watch your tv shows with you so that I can teach you about the things you see. I am never bored around you. Your father and I couldn't be more proud of the caring, happy, and kind child you are becoming.
