right now she is all about COLORS and POSSESSION :
I recently taught her a little thing about roy g biv. she took to it like mad and hasn't stopped. every color she sees she shouts it out with great pride. as we stroll the aisles of target we get quite a few laughs as joy points to random people and shouts out their shirt color. she currently knows-- red, orange, YELLOW (her favorite), blue, green, purple, white, pink, and brown.
her other favorite thing is to tell us and anyone else that's over what items around the house belong to who. i was wearing trey's sweatshirt the other day and she comes up to me and says "no, no....daddy's". as to say, "take that off, that's daddy's shirt"
she was doing laundry yesterday and each item of clothing that she put into the dryer she would call out either "mommy's, daddy's or me me me!!" she knows exactly what belongs to who around here.
oh, and anything ella has ever touched or played with, or any moment they've shared, she of course shouts out ella....to remind me that her and ella did this. or ella has these socks too, etc...
she is trying to construct sentences which is HILARIOUS!! she'll just throw out a string of words that she knows and look at me like, "you got that?" so funny. it will be something like, "mommy help me up mommy up help please?"
AND, she's attempting to potty train herself. although, i'm not ready to commit seeing that evy will be here in 19 days or less. she'll come up to me and tell me she has to go, or sometimes she won't tell me at all and just go do it herself.... i was in the kitchen the other day and heard that toilet singing it's "yay you peed in the potty song" and was like...oh my gosh, did she seriously just go pee in her potty?? walked in as she was in mid-wipe. she gave me this HUGE smile...she's always so proud of herself. she's not consistent though... which is why i'm not willing to pull the ole diaper plug. that system seems much easier at this point. once baby evs is on schedule we'll tackle that one.
we are having so much fun. there's nothing, absolutely nothing, greater than mothering my little joybird. i have a hard time falling asleep at night as the days get closer to evy's birthday. i just lay there and daydream about meeting her, holding her, introducing her to joy... i can't believe we are so close....
i do get a little nervous. i know two is totally different than one. and two this close in age is harder on the front end...but, i continue to pray for a smooth transition and look forward to every minute of having evy in our arms!!
so i just realized i haven't taken any pics since christmas!! except for phone pics. yikes! i should probably take some pregnant pictures before evy makes her grand debut...anyway, below i'll attach a few from my phone stash. enJOY!!
this is the day we got serious about learning our colors.
elmo gets another snack. oh.my.bird.
saw my ever-so-pregs shadow and decided i better snap this while i can ;)
our little valentine. she insisted on wearing her heart shirt... most days this month. we may still be sporting the heart (which is, in fact, a pajama top) in the month of march as well.
watching a serious episode of baby signing time in the media room... learning all their farm animals ;)
my high school friends insisted that we all take our pregs pics and send them to the group. so here you go. i am going to try to get a real pic sometime in the next 2 weeks!!
