Tateym at 22 Months!

Miss Tateym is a big girl now!

She can identify all her colors and she can say all the names of the colors other than orange.

She can identify numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, & 9 and say most of them.

Typical counting sounds like.. 2, P, 2, P.. 8, 9, 10!

We started swim lessons 2 days ago & she's doing great! Every time we are getting ready to go she says, "Hippo Pool!" because we have 2 kiddy hippo pools in our backyard. Then she says, "Aunt B! Helsey (Kelsey), Suzie (Saylor), Uke (Uncle Luke)!" because usually when we get our swim suits on we're going to swim at their house.

After I clipped her finger nails I let her play with the clippers for a minute. She went to Justin and "clipped" his toenails and then "clipped" mine. Now she has an interest in my finger nails and feeling the different lengths. She's already had 2 pedicures (just toenails painted) with Mommy at the Nail Salon.

A few fairly new words and phrases:

We're Home!

Here you go Momma (or Dada)

Gaggie (Maggie) MOVE!

Apple Juice.

Excuse Me.

Hello (person's name).

Hi, I'm Tate!

Beaty Beat Beaty Beat Clap Clap (Song on Yo Gabba Gabba).

Ready? Go.

Love you/I love you (My favorite)

Tate's House or (person's name such as Papi, Nana, Papa, Aunt B)'s House!

No no Tate.

Still loves Yo Gabba Gabba, Mickey Mouse, & now Sesame Street as well. (T.V. shows, books, characters, toys)

She's a genius with technology- especially our iphones and ipad.

For some reason she is terrified of loud noises- our neighbor's loud car (every time he leaves or comes home she runs to me crying), dogs barking, trucks, airplanes, and even the bath water coming out of the faucet or my phone ringing. It's like this happened over night & I have no idea why.

She's still a picky eater but giving new foods a try every once in awhile.

Does not like: washing her hair, must meats, loud noises, when people are leaving/going bye bye, when her cup is empty (we're learning not to get mad and throw it on the floor)

Does like: fruits, cheese, juice, Yo GG, Elmo, Abby, Cookie Monster, Micky & Minnie Mouse & friends, going outside, riding in the car because she gets to watch tv, tickling Mommy, swimming, swinging, going on walks, coloring, putting things into other things (crayons in box, jewelry in box, things in a purse, etc.), make-up, being chased, animals, snacks, bubbles, giving love, family.
