Another month goes by, brining us out of winter and into springtime! I think we are both pretty excited about that! More time together outside! Although Little Sweetie may have a hard time once summer rolls around...she is not a fan of it being "too bright" and requires sunglasses as soon as she walks outside!
Thankfully, the right sunglasses always complete her AMAZING outfit choices!
Little Sweetie is still as active and fun as can be. Every day is definitely an adventure. Whether we are out having lunch and running errands...
Cheesing at lunch!
Trying to convince me to just let her live in the tent display in Academy!
Super Sweetie is on the case!
Sometimes I do get lucky and she wears herself out!
The rare stroller nap, which is funny because Big Brother napped in the stroller SO often. I need to find one his pictures and look at them side by side. Makes me nostalgic to see "ol' red" (my jogging stroller) being used for a snooze again!
But once she wakes up refreshed, it's back to keeping Momma on her toes.
I'm Batgirl.
(She's really into super heroes right now!)
She's not to sure about this "birthdays that aren't hers" business, so she just "helps"the birthday person by opening the presents and blowing out the candles. "I just helping!" as she says.
While she wasn't too sure about seeing the Easter Bunny up close and personal for pictures, she has no problem putting on a pair of bunny ears and a cotton tail and hopping around the house! Also, I think Easter may be her favorite holiday: it's all about finding things and putting them in baskets. Our budding hoarder LOVES to reappropriate "treasures" from around the house and hide them in her purses, bags, and baskets!
Height and Weight
She's up to 29 pounds and a hair over 34 inches. However, don't tell her she's growing up because she'll vehemently disagree with you. According to her, she's still the baby and always will be.
I'm not a big girl, I a baby! I'll hang out in the bouncer that I refuse to let Momma and Daddy get rid of in order to prove it!
Personality
Little Sweetie is still our little jokester this month! She loves telling "knock-knock" jokes, laughing hysterically, and then telling us that she is just "so silly!"
Developmental Milestones
Definitely seeing a lot of gains in her fine motor development! We've noticed her becoming very detail oriented and precise, far more than I would have thought a 2.5 year old capable of. She has been a great helper in the garden and in the kitchen. And I mean an actual helper, not just watching or being guided. She's really getting more and more independent with her actions and very good at following directions (when it's something that she wants to do).
Starting some seedlings. Look at those delicate hands!
Our little green thumb was so excited to plant the garden! Excited to use it teach her not just about food, but about science as well!
Helping Daddy peel garlic and blend up the greens for sauce for dinner!
I mean, really, the concentration during Play-Doh time and Family Game Night is serious!
Fun Tidbits
I mentioned last month about the Baby Burrito at bed time, so I wanted to add a picture of it!
Baby Burrito!
I've also been catching her planking and climbing more around the house. Both good, because I love that she's getting adventurous, and bad because I've got to keep an eye on my independent girl! But she's reminding me that I need to get back into my workouts!
Night all,
LSM
Little Sweetie's Momma
