January 19

And here we are in 2017!  Another year of fun to be had and memories to be made.




Happy New Year from these two cheeseballs!



It's been a busy year already, but also lots of fun!  Run Club, fun with friends, and just generally being her awesome self...Little Sweetie is starting off the new year with a bang!


     

     



Lots of laps at Run Club!  Little Sweetie is almost to her 25 miles for the season and we are so proud of her.  You can definitely see her gains in speed, endurance, and confidence!




     


     



The weather has been up and down.  The ups allow her lots of time outside having fun and being silly!






     


     


     

We get to go play at the park with friends...






...and enjoy at day at the zoo (even after tornado warnings)!






Besides playing with her local friends, she also loves receiving mail from her favorite penpal, her friend E in California!




And then some days, my dear girl is just my dear girl.  And I love every part of being her mother and enjoying our days together!



Yes, we bought her new bathing suit in January.  And yes, she wanted to wear it all day.







What?  You don't dip your shredded cheese into sour cream and then eat it?  You're missing out.  







Perfecting her over the backboard shot.






FINALLY starting to let us do her hair (on occasion.  For limited amounts of time.  But more regularly, so we'll take it).


Height and Weight
Staying strong at 34lbs and 36 7/8 inches!


Personality
Little Sweetie's personality is just as fun as her alter egos'.  :)  She often pretends to be a Baby Bunny or a Baby Snake.  She's becoming more imaginative and also more focused. She talks about "wanting to learn" more things and that she wants to be able to "read the book" herself.  Love watching all the ways she grows.  



Developmental Milestones
Lots of fine motor work this past month!  She's been buttering her toast and working on her coloring skills nonstop!

     

Go little muscles, go!



Fun Tidbits
She now LOVES her sunglasses.  All ten pairs of them, lol!  And they are each used for different things.  One set is for being secret agent (her silver and black pair), one set is for being in love (her heart shaped pair), and her star pair?  Why those are for rocking out, of course!


"I'm a rock star, yeah!"

See you next month,
