Twenty Months…

Such a big girl.  Charlie has literally changed in a matter of weeks.  She was such a baby and now she wants to play with the big toys, sit in a big chair and talk on a real phone.

She’s added several new words…some of which I am probably leaving out.  New words this month are “Eww-wee” [gross], “Ah-wee” [ouchy], “Over”, “Saw-gee” [sorry], “Sossie” [Sophie], “Owen” and “Sammy”.  She still makes the sound for S a lot to make out other words but with the help of her pointer finger we can figure out what she wants fairly quickly.  She even makes the sound for a monkey.  So funny!

She not only likes to sit in a big chair but also can climb into it like a champ.  She’s climbing all over every thing, which makes for a high DANGER ZONE.  You just can’t baby-proof everything as we all find out.

She’s a hitter.  Whenever, wherever…  And her temper is over-the-top.  Yup, she’s a drama queen.  And the pout lip…well lets just say she can really get that bottom lip out there.

Only half the bottom lip we usually get...

The gesture we get when she doesn't want to do something...

Let’s see…she LOVES bath time and likes to fill the bath cup up with water and pour it out.  She’s so accident-prone.  She hits her head numerous times a day from not paying attention.  Sophie was driving a toy car over her legs and arms one night…she had Charlie laughing so hard, Charlie fell flat on her face onto the tile floor and chipped a tooth.  No major injuries but sure scared the heck out of us!

She still loves her bike.  LOVES Welch’s fruit snacks and a new favorite is an Arnold Palmer…you know tea mixed with lemonade.  Yeah…she LOVES it.  And she now poses for pictures and says "Cheese".  Pure cuteness!

Crazy kid…makes for even crazier parents but we wouldn’t have it any other way.

Have a great week!
