Anna : 20 Months

Well, we officially have a toddler. Tantrums and all! Only from time to time, but we’ve gotten a look at Anna’s stubborn lineage at work! Ha! But kidding aside, our baby isn’t a baby so much anymore. A couple months ago I was going to write a post, sharing all the words she was saying. Well, before I could get to it, her vocabulary blew up and it was almost impossible to get them all jotted down.

I convinced Ryan to spend his birthday (for the second straight year), taking photos of his beautiful wife and sweet daughter … haha! What ever man dreams about! These tree blossoms are short-lived so we had to catch them when we could!

Here’s a look how big Anna has gotten since my last post … and what’s she’s been up to and learning!

Favorite foods: hotdogs, sausage or anything similar in nature; mac’n’cheese (she’s definitely a typical kid!)
Favorite books: Love Counts, Stinky Face
Favorite cartoons: Elmo, Mickey
Favorite things to do: Be outside (balls, bubbles, “car rides”, stroller walks, walking around, petting dogs), “Color”, Watch cartoons, try on her and mom and dad’s shoes, suck her thumb and touch her bellybutton (simultaneously), hang out with her cousins
Favorite color: Yellow
Dislikes: Getting changed (some days), brushing her teeth, coming inside from outside, getting picked up when she wants to be walking, wearing shoes inside
Knows: 1-10, ABCs, Colors (thanks to her wonderful teachers!), how to take her shoes and socks off
Frequent words or saying: Ut-oh, Hiiiii, Byeeee, Dad!, Outside, Help!, Dad’s hat, More! (+ sign language), shoes!, ball, pup, thank-you, nana, papa
