Quick story: Lindsay and I have been going to the pool or "poo" as she calls it a few times a week. We took her to feed the ducks, and all she wanted to do was go swimming in the nasty poop-filled water. Jarrett had to keep her from diving in the stinky water with both hands.
We have a Dr.'s appointment in a few weeks, so I will post her stats then. Here are a few things our girl has been doing new this month:
-Favorite word: "No"
-Hugs & Kisses... My absolute favorite :)
-Favorite TV show: Sesame Street, hands down!
-Shapes: Lindsay recognizes and says shapes and letters, "Oval" (any circles) "Star", "Heart", the letter "e" and likes to 'count'. She can count up to 3 objects.
-When we meet someone new, she likes to introduce us. She will touch me and say, "Mama", then touch Jarrett and say, "Daddy". We have been trying to get her to say "Lindsay", but no success yet.
-Favorite food(s): Blueberries, Buttered Sourdough Toast, anything that Mom or Dad have on their plate, guacamole, chips & dip, cheese, chicken strips... bacon! The Dr. mentioned at her 15 month check up for us to help her gain a little weight, and give her lots of high-calorie foods. Although she will go straight for the veggies on her plate first, we have discovered she is more of a grazer, rather than a three-meal-two-snacks kind of girl.
-Phrases/ words: "mmmmm... Tat's good!", "Peas" (please), "Hi/Bye", "Shooos" (shoes), "Juice", "cheese", "Ffff"(flower), "Shhh" (either sleeping or fish), "Pup" (dog), all the embarrassing body parts (lol). She knows many animals sounds, and will make the sound if you ask her. There are so many I can hardly count. She is learning new words every day!
-Tiny tot... she finally wearing size 18 month clothes, although many of them are still a little big. She recently out grew her size 3 shoes and we are trading up for size 4!
-Lindsay loves to be outside, whether it is picking flowers, running in the grass or swimming at the pool, she adores the outdoors.
-She was still taking 2, 1.5 hr. naps per day since a week ago, when we have been in the process of going to 1 nap. She refuses to sleep more than 1.5 hrs during any given nap time, even though I have been trying to shoot for 2-3 hrs in the afternoon. Oh well. I think I miss the two naps more than she does! She has been sleeping through the night, so I can't complain :)
We have been getting the question does Lindsay have any concept that she is going to be a big sister, or that there is a baby in Mommy's tummy? Well, all I can say is sort of. We talk about big sisters, read our big sister books and we are careful of baby sister in Mommy's tummy. At night Daddy tells Lindsay good night Big Sister, and she will pat the baby in Mommy's tummy and we all tell Little Sister "Love you and goodnight". We were at the park the other day and one of our friends asked Lindsay if there was a baby in Mommy's tummy, and she lifted up her shirt and looked down at her own tummy. LOL. She has been really good around little babies; she has no problem with me holding other babies, when she actually notices. Love our busy, sweet, sassy little girl!! xoxo
