Tuesday, November 17, 2015

2.5 years old

Clothing size: some 2T but mostly 3T
Shoe size: 7 or 8
Diaper size:5
Favorite Food: dinosaur chicken nuggets, cheese, apples, suckers, yogurt, french fries, spaghetti, popsicles and ice cream, applesauce, bacon, fruit snacks, chips, popcorn, candy.
getting picky with vegetables and some meats. will inspect her food before she eats it. If there is ground beef on her noodles or a pepper on her rice..she picks it off or won't eat it. We are encouraging her to try..takes a few tries (or bribes for dessert) and she will try it and say yum or yuck.
still loves to eat daddy's food. in fact..if we eat something for supper say sausage and peppers..she usually won't touch it for dinner and I end up making her a few chicken nuggets to eat..but later in the night if daddy heats up some more to eat or eats late..she eats it off his plate. wierdo.

Favorite Toy: likes to play with baby dolls,  puzzles, busy bags, coloring books, books, doc mcstuffins kit, dress up clothes, cups, ball pit, legos, blocks. things that aren't toys..like anything she finds around the house..post it notes, pens, trinkets...likes tiny things.
Still loves her "me" her pink blanket that she sleeps with and goes everywhere around the house. 

Favorite Activities: loves to color and paint. likes to play outside with chalk, bubbles, sandbox, wagon and car.  enjoys going to story time at the library. can get shy at first but then participates. loves look and find books.
loves to go to the mall..ride the carousel, prefers to walk and not ride in the stroller. LOVES the zoo and itty bitty city. LOVES to go to pops and sasas house..asks to go at least once a week.
enjoys playing with "baby" her brother but is having a hard time with sharing lately.

Favorite Shows:still likes bubble guppies, really into peppa pig, maya the bee, sophia the first, doc mcstuffins, little charmers, paw patrol, pretty much anything on nick jr, sprout or disney channel. 
starting to get into movies. LOVES big hero 6, tangled and nemo.

NEW words I say: 
please, thank you, happy day (happy birthday) 
go to sasa house or go to papa house, outside outside, sit sit, I hung (I'm hungry) doggy ate my food, no no baby, baby go go (she calls him this alot--not sure why) i love you, tv tv, booook (=read me a story) excuse me, yes, no, 

she can pretty much repeat everything we say and responds well. she still babbles a lot and most things I can pick up on better than ry but sometimes I don't know what she's saying. Really good at communicating though..if I don't understand her..she shows me.
 
Fun things I do:
gets really excited for bath time, brush her teeth time, and when daddy comes home. 
starting to get whiny when we say it's bedtime but then gets excited when we tell her we are going to read a book.
started going to MOPS with mommy and staying in the childcare..this is her first time staying in a "strangers" care..mommy is down the hall though and it's only for 2-3 hours. cries and gets sad when I leave but then calms down and eventually plays with her friends.
still sleeps in her crib..sleeps great and doesn't try to climb out so we aren't worried about it.
likes to be clean..if something spills, she runs and grabs a napkin or towel to clean it up. if she gets wet on her shirt..she strips down. haha
says hello to everyone she sees but gets shy easily. not a fan of men that aren't daddy. really scared of them actually. eventually she warms up but she's starting to get really shy. 
if she goes down for a nap and wakes up and new people are over..she cries or gets overwhelmed and it takes a long time for her to warm up.
had 3 modeling jobs. Did great at 2..and refused to cooperate with the 3rd..didn't want to sit in the stroller and be still..got nervous with so many people looking at her. 
has moments where she gets upset easily..working on trying to calm her down or just ignore it. 
it's getting harder to take her to a store because she wants to touch everything or take stuff with her and is not a fan of no. luckily she is still easily distracted..but sometimes not. 
very much a daddy's girl and screams when she hears his key in the door that he's home..always runs to greet him. 
still a sweet helper..likes to help with tools or doing things around the house like dusting or cleaning. gets frustrated if things don't go her way though. 
helps with brother..will bring him his cup or a toy if I ask..will also bring me a diaper or baby wipes. 
gets really frustrated at the dog still..mainly because she steals her food. 


still takes one nap a day 2-3 hours  in afternoon around 2
bedtime is at 8-wakes up between 6 and 7..sometimes till 8
