Raleigh is 23-months!


Mommy fail. I completely forgot to write about Raleigh's 23-month updates. And Rowan's mirthday just passed, too. But that's for another time. Back to Raleigh.

  • Likes: Singing, dancing, playing with Rowan, blackberries & yogurt, playing in sand, hair doo-dads, Curious George stories, art projects
  • Dislikes: diaper changes, hair washing, veggie burgers
  • Skills: She counted to 12 all by herself one night in the kitchen, totally unprompted. Genius! She can jump really well. We're still working on the potty. She's not too into it right now but loves her Minnie Mouse undies. 
  • Communication: It's getting a lot easier to understand everything she says. There are still some things she has to repeat a few times before we finally get it.
  • So big!: tops 2T/24mos; bottoms some 18mos some 2T/24mos; dresses 2T/24mos.; shoes 6-ish; diaper 4 (undies 2T/3T)
  • In the works: I am going to introduce the sticker chart for the potty in another week or so. Her day care is moving to a new location next month and she will be in the 2-year-old room where they work on potty skills and other big kid stuff.

My baby is going to be 2 next month. This is such a fun time! I had forgotten how clever and funny 2-year-olds are. Of course there will be some trying times ahead for all of us, but I choose to focus on the fun. This era will be gone in a flash so I want to be sure to enjoy the ride, scary stuff and all.


Happiest birthday wishes to my sweet baby girl!
