August 19

Summer is quickly passing us by and I am just trying to soak in all these amazing moments with my baby girl!

     

Summertime means ice cream time and Little Sweetie certainly shows her enjoyment of it!

However, not even ice cream can lessen her love for Momma milk!  I never thought we would still be going strong as we come into age 2!  I won't lie, I certainly don't mind the quality time cuddles!

     

Momma, here's the boppy!

Give me the Momma Milk!

Showing off her teeth!  Someone gets to go to the dentist this month!

And the dentist appointment went great!  Look at her showing off her teeth brushing skills!

     

     

And her super brusher sticker!

Honestly, every day with Little Sweetie is a day full of smiles!

Cheesing for the camera!

Loving splash pad time!

     

Uh-oh, someone found Momma's shoes!

     

Happy smiles at lunch time!

Some of my favorite times are our times together with Big Brother!  We are going to miss him once he starts full day school later this month.

Family picnic time!

     

        

Modeling their Brother/Sister shirts!

They both have a weird love for the Old Navy mannequins!

Making their masterpieces!

Maybe I'll get some cleaning help around here yet!

Height and Weight 

Little Sweetie is getting closer to 25 lbs and getting close to 33 inches.  She loves her food, especially her Wheaties, so I know we're doing good eating.  Just nothing seems to stick to her ribs!

     

Wheaties!

Even drinking her cereal milk...the only type of non-Momma milk she's touched!

Personality

Very happy and smiley, though definitely affirming her temper if Big Brother tries to do something that she doesn't like (such as take a toy from her)!  We've had lots of success with her colors.  She can name most of them and sort things by color.  Still not ready to sing her ABCs for us yet!   

Developmental Milestones

Keeps getting more and more words and showing off her motor skills at My Gym!  This month was also a lot of fun because she had her swim lessons with Ms. J!  

     

Doing a great job at swim class!

Fun Tidbits

I guess her fine motor skills are doing ok too, since I caught this little Picasso in my laundry basket!  She was serious about it and it was so cute, I had to laugh!  At least the art was contained!

     

Making the prettiest laundry basket in the land!

Although we'll miss Little Buddy next month once he starts school, I am looking forward to some quality time with Little Sweetie.  I feel that she has just had to go with the flow since brother's diagnosis and can't wait to have some alone time to focus on her.  She's been such a champ, but I want to make sure she knows how important she is to us.  

Good night,
