Happy 20 and 21 Months Melody!

Sweet Melody- these 2 months just flew by.  They seem to somehow mesh together and I have a hard time distinguishing between the two!  You are growing at a rapid rate and your personality is basically the same as the months before......just a little intensified.  You are equal parts sugar and spice.  Right here you obviously devoured your spaghetti.  You love it as much as Addison and it always results in a bath!  See the floor?  That's what it always looks like during mealtime.  Sunny and Bentley are great helpers in this department!

You have learned to blow bubbles and you love it!

You are really into "bobo's" right now and expect everyone to look at them over and over and kiss them.  You will show me the same bobo over an entire month and say, "bobo bobo."  I will then say, "Awww, do you have a bobo?  and you will quickly reply, "yeah." The way you say it is hilarious.  Just sounds real whiney and sad.  Then I will ask if I should kiss it and you give another sad "Yeah."  I remember Addison doing this same thing at this exact age!  It's also funny how you can really hurt yourself and come running to me for a kiss on the bobo and then like magic you are healed!  Love that!
You love hanging out on sister's potty.  You think it's so cool and also love pretending you're using the potty.  Right here you were just maxin' and relaxin'!  That's my girl!  It IS a comfy potty!  You girls should know that I made a huge deal about buying a potty.  I did my research and read a TON of reviews.  I think it paid off.
You were on your way to Addison's end of school picnic/party.  You love tagging along and having fun with the "big kids"!

I thought for sure you would want one of these popsicles.  You freaked out when I offered you one!
You still love Dora and Diego.  You actually prefer Diego more.  You know the theme song and you love to sing it.  It's not clear but you certainly can hold a tune! 

The main thing that sticks out about 21 months is you jumping out of the crib!  AHHH!  Out of nowhere with no warning.  Same story as Addison.  You just tried it a year earlier.  I heard you waking up on the monitor and like always we usually let you play/talk a little while before we come get you.  I was finishing up some chores and all was well and then I heard a strange cry.  It was the kind where I just knew something was off.  I had just looked at the monitor and you were perfectly fine.  I ran back and looked again and you were nowhere to be found.  I ran in your room and there you were at the door waiting for me.  I was totally shocked.  I couldn't understand how you did this!  I mean, I knew you were physical and can figure anything out but I just never saw you even try to get out of the crib.  I figured out that you used your crib teething rail to pull yourself out.  It is a cloth rap around thing with ties and you used the ties kinda like ropes to get out.  Sneaky!  I knew you weren't ready for a toddler bed and that you simply couldn't throw your leg over sooo we just removed the teething thing and you have stayed put! 





You are such a goofy, sweet, spirited, fiesty, lovey little girl.  You're such a bright little light and we just love you oh so very much!
