Strawberry Picking

Is there anything cuter?

 

Bubblegum Baby

I have been so busy lately with unpacking and getting the beach house up and running that I haven't had much time for pictures lately. Today, I decided that needed to change. Sometimes you just need to reevaluate your priorities and adjust accordingly. Heidi will only be 2 for another 5 months. I need to capture some of this!

 She is so adorable right now. She recently hit an intellectual milestone and she is like a whole new child. Its amazing how suddenly the changes show up.

Things we are loving:

How she answers "yah!" in the sweetest little girl voice ever to everything (so glad it isn't no anymore!)

How she suggests what restaurants we should go to for dinner "Mommy I'm hungry we better go to El Cajellon and get some food."

How she imitates her nana all the time. She will walk up to a random pile of toys and go "Oh no!! Who did this? Who made this mess?! I better clean it"

How she reacts when we've finished cleaning a room: "Wow! Mommy! This is preeeeeetty!"

How she will pick up random items and call them her "little baby" and cradle it in her arms. She did this to a doorstop about a week ago. Then she put the doorstop in time out until she was ready to be a good girl.

How she can go and use the potty all by herself! (Waiting until she can pull down her own pants has its advantages!)

How she apologizes as soon as she realizes she has done something wrong.

Watching her role play. This little girl could be an actress. We were playing with a pretend princess curling iron like we do all the time and I said "careful don't let it burn you!" and then she pretended she burned herself and burst into tears (real tears) and then told me she needed fruit snacks to help her feel better.

How she will pretend her stuffed toys are hungry for cookies and fruit snacks if we have already denied her own requests for these things. 

How she makes up her own words like "Yawesome" (Yummy + Awesome) to tell us something is delicious and  "Momdy" (Mommy + Daddy) when she wants to address both of us at the same time.


Things she is loving:

Bambi (obsessed!)

Her Noah's Ark Toy

Her stuffed frog

Chocolate Milk

Cheesy Strawberries (Cottage Cheese and Strawberries)

Fruit Snacks (asks for them all day long)

Legoland Water Park

"Our new house"... "Mommy are we going to our new house? Yay!!! I love our new house!"
