She is talking twice as much now! I'm sure I can't list them all but here are some words that she is saying regularly: Momma, Mommy, Mom, Dada, Daddy, Dad, Maggie, Tate (what she calls herself), Nana, Papa, Papi, Aunt B, SaySay, Kelsey (said twice now), GG, puppy, kitty, fish, hippo, giraffe, monkey, rhino, duck, pig, piggy, teeth, ball, balloon, hop, march, ice, eyes, keys, light, night night, eat, off, up, out, cookie, snack, milk, juice, shoes, sock, pink, blue, purple, yellow, green, black, apple, uh oh, up, thank you, pool, baby, baba (bottle), Yo Gabba Gabba characters: Muno, Foofa, Plex, & calls the show "Ba Gabba or Ba Gabbug", Mickey characters: Minnie (Ninnie), Mick or Mickey, Puppy, Duck, and goofy, book, bubble, bee, two, nine, Elmo, hat, bunny, bobo, yummy (or um), eat, Ming Ming (wonder pet character), hi, bye bye, bow, choo choo, tickle tickle, twinkle twinkle, circle, star, heart, bug, yes, no, no no, Abby (Sesame Street character), ding dong, knock knock, book, stop, the end (when reading a book- sounds like uh han).
She's putting 2 words together now. She just said, "Uh oh Momma.. Tate bobo." She got a bobo because she was climbing on the coffee table. She is a climber! I've already taken her off the kitchen table this morning by 9am. She's very active and rarely slows down. She hops, marches, runs, climbs, can kick a ball hard, throw, do a forward roll all by herself, & jump.
Makes these sounds: Moo, back (chicken), quack, tweet tweet, elephant noise with arm extended like trunk, monkey noise, eigh or neigh for horse, pig noises, bark (same little snort she's always done), vroom vroom (car/truck), chugga chugga choo choo, ssss (Snake)- this is what she told us she found in her potty- gross.
Knows colors! First learned pink and blue. Then purple, green, and yellow about the same time. Red shortly after. Now can say black and recognize orange and gray but doesn't say those.
Knows some shapes! Can say and recognize circle, heart, and star and can draw a circle.
Loves Mommy's makeup and purse, writing with a pen, bubbles, Daddy's Ipad, snacks, juice, cheese, reading books, watching her dvds or shows, and animals!
It's amazing how she knows how to work Justin's Ipad 2! She can unlock it, scroll through to find her icon, click on it, choose which app she wants, and plays with the app. She knows exactly how they work and how to exit it, etc. She went to give Justin a hug then other day when he got home but then saw the Ipad and went straight for that! Her favorite is the animal app (or piggy is what she calls it), but there's also Cat in the Hat book, nursery rhymes, piano, etc.
She got her first pedicure the other day (toes painted) with Mommy, Brandy Chappell Turner, baby Dayton, and Mrs. Chappell. She also had her first sucker there!
Knows body parts: head, hair, eyes, nose, teeth, tongue, ears, chin, cheeks, belly, belly button, arms, elbow, hand, fingers, legs, knee, foot, toes, hiney (her bottom), back.
Loves the shows Yo Gabba Gabba & Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. Also loves her Elmo dvd. She'll have a Yo GG birthday party in August for her 2nd bday.
Does not like: going to sleep, rinsing hair in bathtub, most meats and veggies, having to put on panties, pullup, or shorts after going most of the day naked waist down.
She's naked waist down most of the day because she's been potty training. She's pretty much potty trained (after 3 days) but when she has on a pull up she'll just go in it and has acccidents in panties. If she doesn't have anything on she'll go sit on the potty herself!
The funniest potty training event: One day she got the potpourri bowl off my shelf, emptied it out, and peed in the bowl! Oh my! Let's just hope she doesn't do that at someone else's house..
Her hair is getting long and her bangs will need cut in about a month or so.
She went to the Waco zoo and the Circus last month. The elephant and lions were a hit and the zoo and the elephants and puppies were a hit at the circus.
She picks her nose a lot and sometimes eats it if she doesn't think I'm looking. Gross.
She's wearing a size 7 shoe & 18-24 month or 2T clothes
Cookies, crackers, and chips are all called cookies.
Maggie still sounds like Gaggie.
Tate (what she calls herself because she can't say Tateym) is such a fun little girl! I love this age and how she has her own personality and opinions. She's such a joy to have and be around- what a fun silly little girl and a blessing to our family!
I love her! I can't believe all the colors she's learned in the few weeks we haven't hung out, last time I was over there it was just pink and blue still!!! I can't believe how much she's grown in the year we've known y'all, and I can't wait to see the years to come! Y'all are awesome parents and should be so so proud of little Miss Tate. :-)
ReplyDeleteThe story about the potpourri bowl is hysterical. She was just improvising! I love the minds of toddlers.
