Aubrey Update- 23 months

Aubrey has been so funny lately. I was typing up a list of some of her latest and greatest tricks today and couldn't resist posting.

Here's what she's up to:

·   She can say- Where is he?  and Where is it?

·   She can say- “I see you!!”

·   She knows when we’re in the parking lot of a restaurant- she immediately starts asking for a bite.

·   She can identify the color purple (and all other colors are ‘yellow’ to her)

·   She loves stickers- she likes to stick them on her forehead and on the dog.

·   She can dance-- and she's got moves.

·   She asks for help when she needs something—she says “Help! Help! Help!”

·   Her song of choice recently has been “Wheels on the Bus.”  Her favorite part is when the mama’s on the bus go “shhh, shhh, shhh.”

·  She can ask for Cheerios, and yogurt- a couple of her favorite things.  She says, “yerrio, yoyi”

·  She can tell the difference in taste between milk and water—even if they’re cleverly concealed in her sippie cup.  No foolin’ her.

·  She likes to slide around on her bottom in the bath when she’s done bathing and the water has drained.  This is something her dad taught her to do- she thinks it’s a blast.

·  When she gets impatient and whiney or even a little frustrated, we have started asking her to just fold her hands together and relax for a moment.  She folds her hands politely together—for like 2 seconds.  But it does help her calm down.  We are trying to teach her a little patience.  She winds up folding her hands quite a bit when she’s waiting on us to get her drink ready or to get her cheerio snack ready.

·  She has been playing with her baby doll lately—she can put it down for a nap, kiss her boo-boos, give her a hug, feed her a snack, make the baby sign “more” with her hands, and put the baby in the bath.

It is hard to believe her 2nd birthday is next month!  Here's a sweet picture from her 1st birthday photo shoot.
