What's the Birthday Girl up to?


Anna update...

She:


  • is finally starting to talk. It took her a little longer than some kids I know, but she is still in that 'normal' range, but you know it had me worried. It's pretty cute. She watches how I say things then she tries to repeat - sometimes she gets it, and sometimes she doesn't, but she keeps trying. It seems like she picks up a new word or two everyday. Some of her new words: shoes, outside, swings, 2 of her friends' names, water, chalk, car.

  • prefers to run most places.

  • LOVES to be outside more than anything - especially on the swings or slide.

  • still doesn't watch TV.

  • is a pretty good eater - everything from fruit and cheese to candy and junk food (not too much though!)

  • likes to eat ice and popsicles.

  • likes to say "hi" to all the neighborhood dogs

  • is very curious

  • is very determined

  • is very independent

  • likes to be held - when she wants to be held

  • likes to be the boss, or at least tries to be the boss

  • doesn't like to have her picture taken

  • is shy with new people at first, but then is very friendly

  • likes going to day care to be with her teachers and friends

  • LOVES to listen to stories

  • is getting better at going places (grocery, stores)

  • throws tantrums on a daily basis - multiple tantrums a day really - usually because she isn't getting her way

  • is understanding consequences: if you do this, then this will happen. She still challenges what we say sometimes. We have to stick to our guns with her, or she'll walk all over us.

  • sits in timeout when she doesn't follow the rules

  • sticks her bottom lip out and sticks her chin out for kisses; it's so stinkin' cute.

  • loves to give hugs and kisses

  • makes me so happy!

Love that girl.
