Hellobee Boards

these are all so sweet!

Lo will be 2 in less than a week

1) Her sentences are becoming longer, especially with the addition of the phrase "I want to..." so now she says things like "I want to eat please" instead of "eat please"

2) She's singing to herself more and more! Now when she wakes up we hear her singing "baa baa black sheep," "itsy bitsy spider" or other songs rather than just yelling "mama!"

3) when she draws, she's starting to say she's drawing various things (like faces, specific animals, shapes, etc) rather than just scribbling. though it of course still looks like scribbles

DD is 22 months:
1) asking "how are you?"
2) she can say her baby brother's name AND associate it with him. Super sweet!
3) when she sings "twinkle twinkle" she nails every note and half the words!

DS is 2 weeks:
1) he just outgrew his few premie outfits and the newborn stuff is starting to fit! (He was born 7 lbs at 38 weeks)
2) he has started to follow objects (or faces) with his eyes
3) he has begun to refuse pacifiers, which sucks during those middle of the night diaper changes!

Love all these! So cute.

DS is 3
1. He finally grasped that if he just asked nicely, we'd give in more. Yesterday DH was with him in the bathroom, he said "Daddy can you please get out? I need some privacy, thank you."
2. Using "usually" and "actually" correctly, adorable. "Mama, I usually like your singing but not right now."
3. Going to the bathroom and washing his hands without any prompting or help from us, just like an adult. It sounds so simple but it's starling to see, wasn't he just a baby?!?!

DD is 2
1. Recognizing and singing a bunch of hit songs on the radio. Victorious is a recent favorite.
2. Taking off her footie pjs and diapers, the last 3 mornings in a row I've walked in on a naked toddler.
3. whywhywhywhywhywhy, a thousand times a day.

LO turns a year in a little over a week. His three new things are:
1) his first independent unassisted steps!!! They aren't consistent yet, and he prefers cruising or crawling, but they're there.
2) offering me something (placing a toy, say, in my hand) and then not letting go. He pulls whatever it is away and grins or giggles.
3) he enjoys playing with other babies and young toddlers now. He seems to like the slighter older kids (over 12 months) probably cause they move more and are more interesting.

DD is 5.5 months

1. Sitting unassisted. She sat herself up for the first time last weekend and was pretty wobbly. Now she's really got it down.

2. She's reaching up and grabbing my face. She laughs when I kiss her hand. It's pretty cute.

3. Crawling. She's been rolling, scooting, and army crawling for a while now. Today she crawled with her belly off the ground for a couple of seconds. I give her a couple of weeks before she's crawling all over the house. She's growing too fast!

@FaithFertility: Naturally! Lol. I'm sure she will love her little sib, too!

Dd is 15 months old.

1. Shoes. She's currently obsessed with them. When I'm trying to get ready in the morning she insists on dragging shoe after shoe from my closest wanting me to put them all on.

2. She's started picking up her toys. Granted it's more that I pick them up and hand them to her and she throws them in her basket, but it's a start.

3. She's figured out how to go into the pantry and drag out the Girl Scout cookies, although I can't say I blame her for that!

My kiddo is 7 months.

1) Crawling. She still army crawls half the time, but she can crawl properly, and she's fast. She also figured out yesterday that she can crawl over me when I'm laying down.

2) Teeth! She got her first tooth last week, and has another one about to poke through.

3) Hitting things to make different sounds and see how they feel. Tile floors are surprisingly entertaining. I see clapping in our near future.

19 months...

(1) Speaking in 2-3 word sentences and we stopped counting at 100+ words
(2) Can count to three
(3) Can properly identify red, blue, and green
