22 Month Update

Two more months until my 2nd birthday! The party plans are already under way! I definitely want a "Backyardigans" party. I also told Mommy today, that I want an ice cream cake. I cannot wait! Developmentally, I am no longer a baby. In fact, Nana and Mommy made up a song I like to sing with them. It goes, "I'm a big girl now, not a baby anymore". P. Daddy converted my crib into a toddler bed yesterday! Mommy and P. Daddy were SO proud when I slept all the way through the night, and didn't even get out of my "big girl" bed. I am really excited about being a big girl. This allots me quit a few privileges, including: being able to eat apples and ice cream, being able to go on bike rides, being able to swim in the ocean, being able to use the "big" potty, using small toys that a baby might choke on, and Mommy even lets me pick out my own clothes to wear each morning. I now know all of my letters. I can count to 11, but I'm still working on number recognition. Mommy is already talking about sending me to school next Fall (when I am 3). I am looking forward to the arrival of our new baby in November. I keep asking Mommy if I can hold the baby then. Summer is under way here, and I am looking forward to lots of swimming. I'm not taking lessons this year, but I have a cool swimsuit with built in floaties, that help me keep my face above water!
