Big Girl

Ribbit is getting so big...heavier, taller, wider :). She is definitely out of most of her 18m clothes and is quickly outgrowing her size 5 shoes. She doesn't eat anything that is good for you besides oatmeal, milk, grapes and yogurt. She wakes up hungry and demands a cookie every 10 minutes. She sings herself to sleep with mostly "shake your sillies out", "abcds" or "la la la". She also lists every person before she goes night night and tell every possible thing night night...to the point of exhaustion...nigh nigh monkey, nigh nigh tigger book, nigh nigh dress...you get the picture.

She is starting to tell us No when we ask her to say "sorry, thank you, welcome or please". Most of the time its done in the cute mischievous way but sometimes its very defiant. She will wear a bow for a longer time period now and tells herself " don't touch it" if she reaches up for it. She sings " Happy Birthday to Elmo and Uncle Chris" constantly and reminds me to "shake your body mommy" when we are listening to music in the car. She loves loves loves her brother and is always making sure he gets the same thing she does.

She helps me with laundry by taking her and Goob's clothes to their room once I have folded them on the couch. Of course she then throws them in the floor but we are working on it. She has to be with mommy when I am doing my make up and she puts lotion and powder (barely any) on her face every morning. She gets completely dressed and then runs out of our room and finds daddy to tell him how pretty she is.

She plays very rough and her sheets have black stains on them from where her feet are.....I think that gives me license to buy her new bedding :). She is sleeping in a big girl bed without too much trouble...falls out maybe once a week but just cries and waits for us to come get her. She goes potty in the toilet at least once a day...more for daddy than she will for mommy. She makes sure that everyone knows about all of her boo boos and if you aren't paying her attention she puts on a face and says " mommy boo boo" with quivering bottom lips. She doesn't like to be chased too much (she is my daughter huh?) and if Goob chases her she run to Adam and or I and say " lijah scare me".

During prayer she bows her head and sometimes repeats certain words she hears...it becomes quite comical. She always says AMEN really loud and looks rather pleased with herself. The minute she gets home and we pull into the garage she will say " HOOOMMMEE " (3 syllables long) and then run in, hold her arms up and say "dress, shoes" meaning take off all of my clothes now!!! She likes to wear mine, adams and Goob's shoes around the house and is mesmerized by my purses....she will take things out and put them back in for an hour or so.

I know this is all random things but I just want to document all the fun things she says and does at this age.  Here are some fun recent videos......
btw....Goob got a sticker today....thank you Lord!!!
