Updates

It's been a while since I have updated....so here's the scoop. Ansley is about a month old now. She is smiling quite a bit, but still not deliberately. We are all anxiously awaiting that first "real" smile! She is growing like a weed! Already, she weighs 8 pounds 13 1/2 ounces and is 20 3/4 inches long! She is able to hold her head up for short periods of time, while on her tummy. She is starting to weight bear. She really enjoys being held, eating, sleeping, car rides, bathing, being read to, and being sung to.

I am 28 months now, and getting bigger too! I probably weigh about 25 pounds. I am learning SO many new things! Spanish in particular. I know all of my colors, and numbers up to 10 (in Spanish). In addition, I am learning lots of action words, like swim, climb, run, etc. I probably know about 50 Spanish words total, and I can now put short sentences together. Mommy is also reteaching me sign language, because I want to be able to teach Ansley when she is ready. I am learning simple Math (basic addition and subtraction). I am also learning phonics. Mommy is hoping to be able to start teaching me how to read soon. I am also learning how to tell time (I still get some of my numbers mixed up with letters- like 9 and p- though, so this is somewhat challenging for me). I recently got a new bike (with training wheels) and am learning how to pedal it all by myself. I still really enjoy playing games like hide n seek, chase (tag), Candyland, Chutes and Ladders, etc. I have become quite the story teller. I enjoy using my imagination to make up stories, and sometimes I even act them out. I enjoy pretend play as well. I like to pretend that I am the cat (Frisco) or that Mommy is the baby and I am her mommy. I also have developed really good dexterity, and can manouver the computer mouse to play games all by myself!!! Oh, and I know my right from my left. Of course, I also enjoy spending time with my baby sister, however I look forward to the day when she grows and becomes a little more "interesting"!
