21 Months...

My amazing girl,

You are 21 months old today. I am so loving this phase you are in. But what phase do I not love? Except for your cranky, whiny, clingy, purposeful defiant moments of each stage! I love you and tell you EVERY day.

Yesterday we got to see pics of your sweet little sister growing inside mommy's tummy. You are still pretty clueless that in less than 5 months your life will change dramatically. I pray you take it all in stride and it is the best change.

You are cracking me up these days and I hope I can remember all the things you are doing now. Here's a list of your cute little personality shining:

~ You say "yee-haw" when you see a horse, or cowboy, or hear country music...so darn adorable!

~ You are still an outside loving girl...everyday (weather permitting) we go to the park to slide and swing and play in the sand box, and walk around, and visit the ducks.

~ You mimick and repeat so much of what anyone says. You grab my hands or daddy's hands and say "Come On".

~ You love breakfast just like your momma! This is the meal you eat best everyday! I can't blame you.

~ You are becoming much more selfish...saying mine and grabbing things away from other kids. I don't like this, but I know it's a part of your development. We are teaching you to say sorry and to be nice. There are still occasional tantrums though. 

~ You still love music and dancing. 

~ You are still loving books, but it has now become a major part of your bed time routine. 

~ You still let mommy rock and sing to you before a nap and bed, but when you're done with it you say  "night night" and lunge toward your crib.

~ You are becoming very interested in the potty. You've even gone on it once or twice. We got you your own little one, but have yet to dive into that!

~ I think I will write this one for years: But MICKEY is still your favorite, along with Minnie, Daisy, and Donald :)

~ Right now, your favorite food for lunch or dinner is usually soup. You say it so cute! You are also a pretty mean spaghetti "noodle" eater! 

~ You are learning your colors and numbers. I am so proud of you. Your favorite color is still yellow! 

~ Oh how could I forget? You my dear are mimicking, like I said...and last weekend you watched Duke pee on a tree and proceeded to do it too. I wasn't quick enough to get a pic of you with your leg hiked up, but I did get a pic of you squatting. LOL...I mean I was crying...I was laughing so hard. Your daddy, Grammy, and Grandpa were all there to witness this. You are too funny. 

~ Gosh, I know I'm forgetting so many things. But just know you are one loved little girl. I pray we can be the parents God needs us to be to lead and guide you to Him. We pray for your salvation. We are so excited and blessed to watch you grow and learn. My heart is full with joy and love for you!

Here is an instagram collage and some sweet pics I got for your 21 month/valentine photo shoot!
