22 Months

Y'all. I'm not even going to lie- I'm tired. Exhausted. This is day 2 of working in my classroom (which is brand new and smells good and is just all around lovely) and I'm worn SLAP OUT.

But this isn't about me. It's about our sweet girl creeping right up on her 2nd birthday. 

(You may or may not see these pictures again on her birthday invitation. If you do pretend it's the first time you've seen them.)

22 Months:

Weight: Probably the same as last month because SHE WILL NOT EAT!
Height: See above weight comment.
Clothes: 18 months
Diapers and shoes: size 4

 Her mostly commonly used words/phrases: "Uh Daddy go?" (where did Daddy go?), Jolie is pronounced one of two ways "Joey" or "Goalie", "I get it" (anytime the phone rings), "I hide" when her Daddy comes home. If I think I hear someody pull up at our house I will look out the window and she will say "body?" wuth a puzzled look on her face. I assume she is asking if somebody is there to see her.

Sunday afternoon she insisted on wearing her big girl panties around the house. She tee teed in the potty 4 times in less than an hour (mainly because all she wants to do is drink juice and milk ("mook")). Then we went to visit MeeMaw and PeePaw and she had to wear a "fifie" (commonly known as a diaper to those of us who speak English).



This summer has been a little rough on her schedule. She usually cries somewhere between 2 and 6 AM. I go get her and let her sleep with us for the remainder of the night. As long as I stay in the bed she will sleep until sometime around 8AM. The last 2 morning when I have gotten up to get ready she will wrap her arm around my neck and push me back on the pillow saying "up who" which translates to "up here."

Then, because she sleeps later, she will not want to take her nap until after 1 or 2:00. (If I'm lucky she naps for an hour.) Which leads to her not wanting to go to bed until around 9- aka- the middle of the night.

She loves for us to read to her. I can quote by memory the exactly words to at 5 of her books. Right now she is loving a farm book that MeeMaw gave her.

Every afternoon she wants to get on MeeMaw and PeePaw's golf cart and ride around- particularly to see Rudy. Remember Rudy? He will eventually end up on her plate in some form of Hamburger Helper or in a Pinterest recipe. And as usual I will be begging her to eat. Poor little Rudy.

She is OBSESSED with big trucks or "big bigs."

And I know there are a ton of other things she is doing right now, but I can't think of them because EXHAUSTED.

Here is a little sneak peak at my room thus far...
