Dorothy

5 May

photo(6)

Age: 18 months

Stats: 28 lbs. 4 oz., 33.5 inches tall. You only grew a quarter of an inch in the last three months, so the doctor says your height may be stabilizing… except you’re still in the 95th percentile.

Clothes: You’re working your way into 3T. So, all that 2T summer stuff I thought would last us at least half the season made it approximately a month before you outgrew it. You’re also wearing size 6.5 and 7 shoes. But, don’t worry. Grandma Kathryn makes sure you’re well stocked in the shoe department. 😉

Nicknames: D, Buns, dbunny, Dot

Sleep: Praise the Lord. Hallelujah. You sleep 11.5 to 12 hours a night. You take one afternoon nap, which normally last 2-3 hours.

Favorites: Kitty, playing outside, driving the Ranger at Grandma and Papaw’s, dancing, Disney movies (any and all), Elmo, Chica Chica Boom Boom and your new Duplo Lego set.

Other Fun Facts:

– You’re getting new words every day! You’ve mastered “All done!”, and love to apply it to any situation (including time out). You finally say “Mama,” but not before you said “Elsa.” This week you’ve added “Papaw,” “Jessi,” “Please,” and “Lunch” to your vocabulary. Such a smart girl!

– You always grab our hands and take us places to show us what you see. Even if it’s two feet away, you insist we get up and get closer. You even put our hands on your toys to tell us that you want us to play with you. It’s adorable… the first 10 times of the day.

 

– You’re in the process of getting two incisor teeth. It’s not fun for anyone.

Why, yes. You are holding a giant sized Stuffy the Dragon while dressed as Queen Elsa. Why wouldn’t you be?

– Your favorite foods right now include scrambled eggs, apple slices, cuties, green beans, black beans, string cheese, popcorn and fruit snacks. You also can’t get enough juice… which I realize now I should have never introduced you…

 

– Your daddy is still your favorite.

 

– Your hair is out of control. And even better, you now fight me each day when I try to put it up. We’re working on headbands, since you’re supposed to wear one in Kayla’s wedding next month, but it’s not going well.

– The “Terrible Twos” are here to stay. You’re becoming very familiar with time out, unfortunately. Just when mommy thinks she can’t handle another minute, you do something so cute and sweet that I melt all over again. Stop that. 😉

 

– You have a best friend, and her name is Brynzlee. Her mommy is one of my best friends. You have known her all your life, but you two have just recently started interacting like besties. As in, having jibberish conversations, sharing a cozy coupe  and feeding each other popcorn. Adorable.

We love you baby girl. Always and forever.
