21 Month Update

The birthday countdown has officially begun, as has my entry into the "terrible two's" stage of life! In three short months, I will have my 2nd birthday! I have been really busy lately. We've been going to story time, having playgroups, attending LLL meetings, dancing it up in music class, and going to birthday parties (and you ALL know what THAT means----CAKE!!!!!) I have also been spending time with my Nana and Papa. This picture shows me goofing off with Nana! I am speaking in complete (but sometimes choppy) sentences now. Mommy cannot even count the number of words I know. I still like to mimic everything I hear. I can identify ALL of the letters of the alphabet, but I can't yet sing the complete song. I know most of my numbers, up to 10. I can work a puzzle like a pro. I love to paint, draw, and color. I also like to play with playdough. I definitely have a knack for art and music (the finer things in life!) I have a lot of friends, and enjoy spending time with them. I love pretending. Mommy has started letting me watch a little bit of television. I have outgrown my love for Elmo already, and have moved on to Dora and the Backyardigans. I mostly talk (nonstop) about the Backyardigans. Mommy and P. Daddy got me a really big slide this weekend. I am still learning how to climb up it by myself, but I LOVE sliding down it! I have been helping Mommy and P. Daddy around the house (doing gardening). Oh, and most importantly, I am learning how to jump. I can ALMOST get both feet off the floor at the same time!
