Growing like weeds

A quick, picture-less post about the girls.

Miss M:

• 2 years 5 months
• Sings a lot
• Obsessed with Harry Potter
• Counts (1, 6, 7, 8, 9!)
• LOVES nursery
• Loves being a big sister
• Loves her aunts and uncles and her cousin Jordyn
• Refuses to accept that my sister-in-law's baby (due in Nov) will also be her cousin. (No, my cousin Jordyn!)
• Loves to play outside.
• Loves to help me.
• Loves princesses. Yesterday she told me she was "Princess Hermione."
• Loves dress ups. And dresses in general. That's almost all she'll wear anymore.
• Is a super slow mover in the morning. It's a good thing my babysitter (aka Grandma) picks the girls up from my house in the morning. There's no way I could make it out the door in time if I had to get her ready in the morning.
• Still teeny.
• Picky eater.
• Went to the temple last week for my cousin's wedding and has been talking about it ever since.
• Surprised me on Sunday by identifying President Monson in a picture on the bulletin board at church.

Loaf Cake:

• 10 months
• WALKING!!! Average is 4-6 steps at a time right now. Most is somewhere in the teens. Her first step was last Wednesday. She doesn't mess around.
• TALKING!!! A few weeks ago she said her first word "Uh-oh!" She has since added Gma, Dada and dog to her arsenal. Of course, she's only said "Mommy" once.
• She doesn't do anything half way. She's a go getter. She climbs the stairs, gets into EVERYTHING, and has a bit of a temper.
• Is still a very good natured little thing. Just give her what she wants when she wants it. ;)
• Still only has two teeth.
• Crawls quickly. Mostly uses her feet instead of knees to prevent rug burn. We call it the stink bug.
• LOVES baths. She screams with delight pretty much the whole time.
• Brave. She attempts to climb the vacuum. While I'm vacuuming. She loves water coming out of the hose or faucet, something her older sister avoids.
• Eats almost constantly. And pretty much everything. Especially pasta. She LOVES pasta.

In other news, I was accepted to Idaho State University's online Speech Language Pathology program! I'll start graduate school in the fall!
