26 Months

Photobucket

So I missed Bella's 25th month post and I'm getting out of order with our life but I wanted to get her 26th month post on the correct date so here we go.

I have absolutely LOVED being home with the princess this summer. I absolutely do NOT want to go back to work in 2 weeks. She has grown up so much this summer and has been a joy to be with. She gets girlier everyday. I love it so much. She is really getting into playing dress up and her baby dolls. Sometimes we dress up her baby dolls.

We attempted potty training because I really thought she was ready but after she has screamed and cried on the potty I have given it a second thought. I have been told by so many to not push them because they push back even harder and it takes longer to train them, so we are taking it easy for the time being.

She sings her little heart out all the time and I simply can't get enough of it. Her sweet little voice just melts my hear. She likes to mix several different songs into one. Already an artist if you ask me. Her favorites are The ABC's, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, and The B-I-B-L-E.

She is quite the little dancer as well. She quite a few moves in her repertoire. I can not wait to get her in dance class!

She is talking so much that I'm hearing new words and longer sentences everyday. The other day she told Terry to "go up the ramp" he was in fact getting ready to walk up a ramp onto a porch for a new house in our neighborhood. How in the world does she even know what a ramp is and where did she learn the word for it?

She can count to 10 but always leaves out the number 4. But really, who needs the number 4 anyway? It really isn't all that important when you are 2.

Every number she sees in print is the number 9 and every letter is A. At least she has the concept.

She is doing better and better in gymnastics and even swung on the trapeze bar out over the foam pit and dropped all by herself this week. I couldn't believe she did it but I was so proud of her!

I never reported her 2 year stats so here we go:
weight: 22 lbs - 3%
height: 33 1/2 - 46%
head: 19 3/4 - 97%

Her stats make her look totally out of proportion but I think she is perfect!

She is a bundle of joy and so precious and I just can't get enough of her. I want to squeeze her and kiss her and love her ALL the time!
