- Willow has put all of the pieces together and is using a lot of 2 to 3 word sentences. I feel like most of what I say in a conversation is a complete sentence version of what she says. For example, Willow's "Cadence horse back" becomes Mommy's "Yes, Cadence rode on the horse's back!" She loves to narrate what's happening around her (pointing out most pedestrians and identifying whether they are "walking" or "running") or relive experiences. She wasn't crazy about either Easter bunny that we attempted to get a picture with, but would say "Bunny lap cheese" all the way home. Some of my favorite phrases:
Kix all gone
All done crackers
Help me shoe
Doggie eating water
- A few months ago Willow couldn't get enough nursery rhymes. We have one book in particular that has about 14 rhymes in it that she would request every naptime and bedtime. I was reading it with her last night and she joined in for the last word of each line of Hickory Dickory Dock and Pease Porridge! It's amazing to me how much she's been "soaking in" that's now starting to be verbalized.
- She's able to identify all of her colors and the letters of her name, as well as the letter C (thanks Cookie Monster!).
- She's had some success with putting her shoes on by herself, though usually opts for assistance. Her best practice is while riding in the car.
- We're predominantly using a regular cup for drinks at meal times and she's had good success! Still not sure why she still sticks her tongue down in the cup though!
Here are Willow's stats from her 24 month appointment:
35 3/4inches tall (90%ile)
31 pounds (90%ile)
19 7/8 head circumfrence (+100%ile)
She was a "little" excited to have a cupcake after dinner tonight (on her actual birthday):
The third time was the charm in successfully blowing out the candles by herself:
