You weigh about 17 lbs and still tall with long limbs.
You still west 9-12 month clothes and size 2 diapers. I'm starting to put you in "real clothes" more and more, and trying to use pjs only at night.
You can crawl now! You started crawling around 7.5 months, and now you're getting strong and fast,
You just cut two teeth this past week. Lots of fussiness and running of the nose. You don't like to be uncomfortable AT ALL.
You will take a 1.5 hour nap once per day, and 2-3, 45-min naps. Your trying to get down to 3 naps per day, but you still get very tired at about the 2-2.5 hour mark and start screaming your little head off.
You nurse after every nap and before bed at 6:30/7:00. Breastfeeding us going well, except I'm worried my supply has gone down in the past few weeks. I'm taking fenugreek to help remedy that.
You're favorite you now is a yellow piece of yarn/string from one of Gwen's toys. You LOVE it and enjoy biting it and popping out of your mouth. It always gets nice and soggy.
You also love when mommy sings "Bringing Home a Baby Bumblebee". And you and Gwen laugh out loud if I sing it really fast. That song stops you from crying about 90% of the time. Mommy is hilarious, by the way.
You really enjoy watching your sister, but you've started to look at mommy and cry every time she touches you. She likes to get in your bubble, and my theory is that you're anticipating her hurting you/taking your toy/interrupting your activity.
You like going to "school". When we come to pick you up, you are so cute: you kick and smile and make little happy noises when you see us!
That's another thing: you are very independent and get focused on your tasks. You don't require much attention, unless you're tired (then you get all cuddly). Many times we'll be in the living room, and I'll be playing on the floor, but you just crawl around the room exploring and finding new toys to put in your mouth. I'll try to get your attention, and you smile at me, but most of the time you just keep doing your own thing. I have to go get you and pick you up if I want cuddles! Mommy needs attention too, you know!
As for Gwendolyn, she is in the full blown terrible twos. Whining and crying through the day (except at daycare) and learning her limits. Daddy and mommy put her in time out for the first time a few days ago and laughed our way through it. You wouldn't pick up some toys that you threw under the table, so we counted to three, and asked if you wanted to go to time out. You said "no", but still didn't pick them up, so daddy walked you over to the time out spot (you held his hand and curiously walked over). Then you stayed in the spot and cried until mommy came and got you. You said "bid hud (big hug)" after I got you out of time out.
Gwendolyn has also started saying "I luh-dooh"(I love you) unsolicited, and it's the sweetest thing ever. :)
She also says, "I want my mommy/daddy", and this morning told Jeff, "I want you, daddy".
"I'm excited."
Of course she wants to do everything "all by myself".
Ahhh...two year olds are amazing. So kissable, cute and soft one minute...and the next minute they've turned into a monster.
