In One Month

It is so hard to believe that in exactly one month, my baby girl is going to be two years old.  How did this happen?  It has gone way too fast!

She is growing and changing every day.  I thought that I would make a list of some of the things that she does that stick out in my memory.

*If she wants you to pick her up she says "I need me!"

*If she wants something she says "I need ...!"  Such as, "I need to watch Dora."  If she does not know what the thing is called that she "needs" she says "I need this."

*She says "I'm sorry" and "I missed you so much" a lot, but hardly every in the right context.  This morning when I went to get her out of bed she was looking for the book that is usually in her bed.  I pointed out that Daddy had taken the book out and put it on her chair.  She looked up at me and said, "I'm sorry!"  

*She is getting into the "I do it myself" stage.  She insisted that she put on her pajamas by herself last night.  She did a pretty good job if you ignore that her shirt was on backwards.  I did have to help pull up the back of her pants and find the arm holes, but other than that, it was all her.  

*She has to wear her rain boots everywhere we go.  She wore them to church on Sunday with her smocked dress.  Whatever!  If she is happy, who is she hurting wearing her boots to church?  I don't think God minded.  Plus, I think it is kind of cute.  

*She loves salad.  Mostly, she likes to eat the topping on the salad and lick the dressing off the lettuce.  In fact, she asked for salad for breakfast this morning.  

*"That's mines!"  is a new favorite saying.  

*She says "I'm otay!"

*She loves to be outside.

*She is not so sure of bugs.

*She is a complete and utter mess, but I would not trade her for the world.  She is my almost two years old baby doll!
