countdown continues: 2 months until nursery

{16 mo} 

the last 3 weeks at church have been surprisingly great! both kids are angels during sacrament meeting, and then we usually hit the crazy button for Sylvie. But nowadays, she will just lay on her daddy's lap so calm. 2 weeks ago she actually fell asleep on him for a whole hour. Last week he had to do ward clerk meetings during 3rd hour and he said she laid on the ground the whole time. It might not be so bad that church is right during nap time! :) the little sweetie.
-She is becoming such a big girl. She totally pooped twice on the potty yesterday! haha, well she was in the bath both times and I noticed her stand up and walk to the corner (ha) and so I asked her if she needed to go and she said yes. So I sat her on the potty and she went. (and yes, I bathed them twice yesterday. sometimes we get bored and need some swimming time).
-first thing she says after waking up in the morning is SHOES! she LOVES shoes! all styles, but especially some red rose ones that used to be Stori's. It's so cute.
-I had the kids stack cheerios on spaghetti noodles again, and each time Sylvie would get one on, she would shout, "IDIDIT!" adorable.
-She is great at feeding herself.
-She loves playing with Stori: tea parties, dress up, hide under the blanket, and their very favorite, 'chase.' all you do is start at one side of the hallway and chase the other person to my bedroom. Then turn around and do it all again…for hours.
-She loves the Christmas tree and is so gentle with the ornaments.
-She LOVES books. I will walk into Stori's room and find her in there with the lights off just reading book after book.
-She has 7 teeth.
-doesn't like to hold hands while walking, and will scream when we pick her up.
-thinks animals are so "cuuuuute." if she sees animals on movies, at the park, in a book (or anything cuddly) she puts her hands up under her chin and cuddles her arms while saying cute. Oh it's adorable. And it's even cuter when she finds a stuffed animal and will love on it until she tips over.
-she loves the Frozen soundtrack. It is magical actually. If she is crying in the car, we just put on "frozen heart," and she will immediately start singing, giggling, and dancing to it. It's so magical, in fact, that if she is crying at home and I start to sing that song, she will stop crying also. just that song.
-her favorite movie is Cinderella, and she has that one pretty much memorized. (it's the only show on my phone and we use it on long car rides, or if I want to go shopping for a long period of time).
-loves to color, stack rings, put together the animal puzzle, likes to play with the punzel tower, loves to pretend grocery shop with Stori, or go to pretend Pirate Island with Stori.
-she hates cold milk and won't drink it even in a cup or a sipper. BUT she will down 5 ounces of it if it's warm and in her bottle. Such a stinker that way.
-still taking 2 (2hr) naps and sleeping 11-12 hrs at night.
-and only 2 MONTHS until nursery. I'm sad her and Stori won't be in there together because I know they would both love that!

eating banana pancakes with cool whip topping. It got a little messy so we put her hair in a pony and I was shocked at how high it was! haha.

loves Sam's Club. Don't worry, that is just water that she is hugging.

such a good little cuddle bug

Little Mermaid dress up

one of the very rare moments of her sleeping in her carseat.

they can go through 5 wardrobe changes in just one day. This one is at about 8am. and those are the shoes she wakes up asking for haha!

and ^ these are Stori's boots that she put on before eating breakfast. They are that important to her haha
