Dear Pinky | Happy 22 Months

November 14, 2011

You are 22 months today! This past month has been so exciting. I’ve learned so many new things about you, and you’ve learned so many new things in general.

Your new favorite things:

• The Wizard of Oz: You especially like the witch and the scarecrow. Just watching this movie you’ve learned to say witch, brain, heart, toto, and put em up! I am so amazed at how you mimic the musical numbers, the moves, the turns and even the words! You are so smart! Watching you enjoy this movies reminds me of myself. I loved The Wizard of OZ as a child!
• Annie: “Tomorrow, tomorrow, I love ya tomorrow, you’re only a day away!”….this is your second favorite movie! I’m liking the musical trend here! You already love to sing and dance, and you do it so well.
• Corn & Peas: You eat it up like candy!
• Mismatch Socks: This surprised me the most because you did it all by yourself. Just like Abuelita used to! It was so adorable when you asked me for two pairs of socks, only to want one of each…one monkey and one Elmo!
• Band-aids: You can a crazy fascination with them! You stick them everywhere and you like to open a whole box all at once! It drives me crazy, but it’s cute. As long as you don’t put them on places like the wall, the floor, the table…and so on.

Firsts:

• Sunday School: I’m so happy we’ve started going to church again as a family. This last Sunday I took you to Sunday school because you didn’t want stay in church. You played with play do for the first time. I think you were somewhat afraid of it. You made a plate with corn, grapes, bread and salad with paper and stickers. You were so proud of it, you showed everyone who walked by. I loved seeing the smile on your face. We looked all over for Daddy because you wanted to show him your work of art.

This month has been so much fun Pinky. I can’t wait to see what other surprises you have in store for me and Daddy!

Today you stayed at Daddy and DiDi’s work while Mommy ran some errands. you played at DiDi’s desk and talked to everyone about the witch! You had a surprise visit from Cousin Patryce…you called her Teese and wanted her to change your diapers for you, even the one with poop! Hehe! Speaking of poop, you are almost ready for the potty! You already love wearing panties!

You are so special my pretty, pretty beautiful girl! Mommy and Daddy love you so, so much!

Happy 22 months! As we continue to savor each moment with you, we pray God will continue to protect you and keep you. And we thank him for choosing us and trusting us to be your parents.

Love,
Mommy
