-such a mommy. Will rock her babies, sing to them, and take care of them.
-LOVES her bed and wants to stay in it for hours. Really she
just LOVES her binky and only gets it in bed, so she wants to stay in as long
as she can.
-likes to lay down in the bath and “swim”.
-has taken off her diaper a few times during nap time, so
now she wears leggings with a romper over them at nap times.
-can peddle a tricycle.
-loves to swing, or push people/empty swings. Most of our
time at the park is spent doing this. She can also climb most anything she wants all by herself at the park.
-always wants to say the prayer, usually just saying in a cute squeaky voice, “thankful
we can have a good day” about 6 times, and then turns to me saying, “what else?”
-when she wakes up in the morning and her hair is everywhere
she brushes it back with her hand and says, “crazy hair!”
-she decides how she wants her hair done everyday. I ask, “one,
two pigtails, or one in the back?” And she will answer how she wants her hair
done. Easy for me!!
-she has been known to bite Zac when he is wrestling/bugging
her. Never done it to another kids…yet.
-every night I ask, “are you going to do a big sleep? Or little
sleep?” and she will usually say “little.” But we all know that really her
brother will do the little sleep! She is our better sleeper!
-she LOVES shoes. I avoid the shoe section in any store!
-was picky eater for a few months and now will eat anything...And finish anything Zac does not want. She will not touch anything with
potatoes.
-always asks me to do a dashed “A” on paper so she can
trace it with a marker. She can recognize many of the letters.
-she knows names of colors but can’t recognize them yet.
-maybe will watch a total of 10 minutes of tv a day. She
usually gets bored and goes into the toy room and plays.
-LOVES watching sports. When we go on walks to the school
and there is soocer/baseball/basketball practice or kids just playing catch she
stands and watches until I come and pick her up.
-she is also pretty good at sports. Likes to play basketball
and baseball. She is super cute jumping on the tramp and has just started to do
“bums”.
-has gotten really into playing with matchbox cars lately.
This has it’s good/bad days with her brother.
-can communicate anything she wants. Its funny to hear her
tell Lee about the day at dinner because sometimes they are not things we necessarily
did that day.
-started acting like a 2 year old a few months before her birthday.
Just started being stubborn and saying, “I do it!” for EVERYTHING!
-on the way to Grandma Coopers she sees model home flags and
sings “Happy Birthday to Grandma” every time without fail.
-ignores me all the
time when I call her over to do something. Especially changing her
diaper!!!
-LOVES her brother. They have so much fun together and it’s
so cute to hear them talk to each other.
-books are still a huge love in her life.
-wearing size 2T clothes, but really outgrowing most of
them. Size 3 or 4 are the next purchase for winter!
-she loves her painted toenails.
-loves to point out slug bugs and can beat Zac to finding
them sometimes.
-all day long asks, “where is dad?”
-has started always wanting a baby in her bed with her. This
might be some of the factor as to why some days she won’t take a nap. She is
just busy playing in her crib.
-can name all of her friends in her church class, plus others
that we hang out with.
-loves nursery.
-when preschool has been at our house she is right there
along with the other kids. She loves to do songs and be a part of things with
other kids.
-LOVES (real) babies, but I don’t trust her for a second
with them. She has been known to pick up her friend, Paige, by the neck many
times.
-Is more of my snuggler. But only for a minute. She likes to
have her back or arm scratched while you are holding her.
-many times when we are driving Z will spot something and
she will say, “oh man, I missed it.” It’s pretty cute.
-has this low voice that she will sometimes talk with. It is pretty funny.
-has this low voice that she will sometimes talk with. It is pretty funny.
-basically does what Zachary wants her to do. And is a
pretty good sport about it all.
-Takes A LOT of teasing from her brother. Usually her
dolls/strollers being taken away and him running!
-LOVES to dance in the living room.
-her job before dinner is to get her bib.
-when I tell her I love her, she answers with “I love daddy.”
But if Lee says I love you, she will say
“I love mommy.” Basically she will just come up with another name.
-she loves to go in at night and give Z a kiss and say I
love you. It’s pretty precious.
-she loves to do our “Go Cooper’s cheer and family hug.” I
get a kick out of her everytime we do it.
-we laugh about her little short shorts and tennis shoes
outfits. She looks like she is ready to work out.
-she has the funniest little run. Her legs move fast but she
does not seem to go a very far distance.
-she has the best laugh. And loves it when Lee tickles her.
-whenever Zac is at preschool she just asks to go to the
park and swing the entire time (so we usually end up going).
-she would love to have my phone all day if she could.
-loves girly things. We don’t have many, but she gravitates
to them at the store.
-says, “bless you” when someone coughs or sneezes.
-calls Zachary “Zacy
most of the time”
-only wants to ride her bike about a half a block before she
wants to just walk.
-when she wants you to pick her up she will say, “hold you.”
-does not have the speed that Z has when we are trying to get out the door, clean up, or do an activity. She usually is still looking at that "one toy" while Z runs around doing everything. It's pretty funny.
-i love to just have her talk to me. She is so sweet and cute.
-i also just love watching her do things.
-she makes life slow down in pace and sometimes we just need that in our day!!
