21 Months

Boy time is going by so fast!!  This little girl is already 21 months and changing everyday.  We are so amazed at how much she is learning, observing and repeating.  It is so much easier to try and explain something to her and she can communicate so much in return.

Her mannerisms just crack us up!!  The things she says and does we find very amusing sometimes :)

She said, "I love you Mommy, I love you Daddy" for the first time in the past three months.  Just about made me cry the first time I heard her say that!!



She loves to look at the fish swimming below the bridge at my parent's house.  She also loves to feed the fish and imitates how they eat every time she feeds them.

This little one is CRAZY about bubbles and just loves to be outside!

She loves her shades and when she is outside or in the car, she says, "Bright" and covers her eyes to let us know she would like her sunglasses.



She is talking a lot and we can't keep up with the new words she is learning.

She can count to five and likes to count the steps up to the slide.  Sometimes she counts to 10, but most of the time skips 6 for some reason.

In spanish when someone sneezes you say, "Salud." Aubrey says, "Salusute."

For the most part is pretty good at saying "please" and "thank you Mommy/Daddy."

She is still very shy with people she doesn't know and still clings to mom. However, when mom was on bed rest she took quite a liking to daddy :)  Whenever she is scared of something or wants out attention she says, "Mommy (Daddy), hold you." 

She's pretty good at putting puzzles together and can do it pretty quickly

 

She loves to lounge.

She is playing so well (most days) with her peers whenever we get to see friends.  We just need to work on the sharing part a little more :). 

She loves having tea parties with mom or dad daily and she always needs to set up her blanket before setting up her tea set.  She also loves to say "cheers" and clank the cups together.

She says "weee" in the car whenever we make a turn, or use the brakes, (and sometimes for no apparent reason).  She also loves her ABC song CD that we play in the car that has a sound and instrument represented by every animal.  She has now began to imitate the sounds :)

She can carry a short conversation on the phone and give one or two word answers.  She does this especially well with her Aunt Krystal.

Knows the name of most of her family members, including aunts, uncles, and grandparents.  She also knows that mommy's name is Evie and daddy's name is Brandon.  When we don't answer to mommy or daddy for some reason she doesn't hesitate to shout out our names to get our attention.  It starts early I guess :)

She knows her full name.

Still at a whopping 21 pounds at 21 months, but every pound of her makes us laugh, smile, and enjoy every little bit of her :)
