you are so energetic, always doing something and it usually involves Baba. you LOVE that brother of yours SO fiercely.
You are jealous when I hold babies, and I know thats going to be rough for you when the time comes. but Ill do all I can to work through it! You are still particular, when you want cuddles YOU WANT CUDDLES. and when you dont want them..YOU DONT WANT THEM.

you know some shapes: triangle (ankle!) and circle (tertle) and we will practice more as the days go!

You know how to count some!
"One...Two....Three....Ten....Seven...." (work in progress)

you LOVE wrestling (or NingNing as you call it) and you walk around saying "CEEENNNAAA!!!" and "bum bum bu bummmmm" John Cenas theme music. its bonkers! last night you got up and wanted to watch wrestling sickly like at 5 am. it was silly!

You love Caillou (too much!) and you say "Cy-woo!" you like Sid (call him Kid) and you love Elmo (Ehmo) and "ee-ee and butttt" and Abby and "bi brd" youre so wonderful! you know the color Blue, and thhaaaats about it.

you love to be moving, jumping off of things, climbing onto things, running or doing your adorable march/stomp/sachay (sp?)

you can repeat just about anything we tralk to you about in the CUTEST voice. you have a gnarly lip tie, and you have a lisp. but its all you and all wonderful. I love you and am SO proud of you. You are learning more and more, and I hope to get more one on one time with you over the next few days :)
