23 Months Old - July 2012

1 July 2012 - Tonight we went with the Dars to watch the fireworks in Broken Arrow at Rhema.  You got to stay up really late!  I was worried that you would be afraid of the fireworks but you actually loved them!  You sat with "Aunt" Lyndsie and Zuri for most of the fireworks show.  You were very fun!

4th of July - Tonight we had a big celebration at our church.  You got to play in a "Jupiter Jump" for the first time and you LOVED it!  You wouldn't come out when your turn was over and you got in trouble for that.  Then during the fireworks show you sat with Aunt Jessica and Jase.  Daddy was helping shoot off the fireworks and I was "grading" the fireworks so they would know which ones to use again next year.  You loved the fireworks again - even though they were so much closer and louder than the ones we watched on Sunday night.  Nana bought you glow sticks and you ended up with tons of them all over you!  It was a very fun night.

5 July - Daddy and I took you to the Russell Stover candy shop for ice cream


...then we went home and played with the bunnies.

9 July 2012 - Today while we were shopping in Target you said, "Mommy has babies in her belly!  I have babies in my belly too!"  I guess after Miss Ai had baby Kayla you have been thinking a lot about babies and bellies.  Also, you kept saying "tender loving care" all morning over and over.  I have no idea where you heard that!  This evening you took a shower with mommy for the first time.  When you were a little baby Daddy sometimes took you in the shower but it has been a long time since you've been in the shower instead of just taking a bath.  You were pretty nervous at first, but once you got comfortable you didn't want to get out!  It was fun.  

10 July 2012 - This is what your bedroom looked like...




10 July 2012 - You didn't want to play IN the sprinkler; you wanted to play WITH the sprinkler.  Also, you have started saying this phrase ALL the time: "What's this, huh?"  It makes your daddy and me chuckle!

16 July 2012 - This morning you noticed something that was the color green.  But instead of calling it "geen" as you usually do, you said "gween."  Your "r" sound is not quite perfect but it was the first time you used that "gr" sound.  You sounded really grown up and it made me kind of sad in a way.  You are getting big so fast!

16 July 2012 - We met Kristen and little Ila Marangoni at the zoo. 

Ila and you had a great time! 

16 July 2012 - Fun at Grandpa & Nana's house 



17 July 2012 - You were playing with me at home and you said, "Do you want to play coasters?"  Then you pulled the container of coasters off the table and started to divvy them up.  "I get one.  You get one!  I get one.  You get one!'  Toward the end you somehow ended up with quite a few more than I had, however.  Daddy said you played this with him the other night too. 

19 July 2012 - Playing with the hose in your swimming pool 



19 July 2012 - Today you were eating a hamburger patty and you called it a "hang-a-bar."  Cute!

20 July 2012 - You are counting to 16 by yourself now.  Sometimes you mix up the number seven and the number eleven.  Also, today I was looking back at older journal entries and came across the list of words you had trouble pronouncing at 18 months old.  You said some of those things in the cutest little ways!  But now, you can say all of those words properly (and MANY more).  You are quite a talker.  Sometimes it's exhausting.  But I love it!

22 July 2012 - Today we were at Grandpa & Nana's house and we realized that you and Jase had disappeared and were being very quiet.  We discovered you in Nana's pantry "shopping" for groceries!  The two of you had filled the shopping cart!  Jase was grabbing everything he could reach off the shelves and you would take each item from him and put it in the cart.  You were having the best time!  Of course it was even cuter because you were wearing play glasses and Jessica's heels.


25 July 2012 - We have gone swimming at Whiteside Park almost every Wednesday this summer.  Today a lot of your friends were there also!  They were: Grams, Aunt Jennifer, Jordan, her friend Lucia, Alex, Tatum, Kelly and Hattie Boley, Tracy, Natalie, and Savannah Hefner, Aunt Jessica and Jase.  What a crew!  Here are a few pictures from today.




Of course we like to play at the splash pad while we're there too.

28 July 2012 - You went to Natalie's 3rd birthday party today.  Cinderella was there!  You called her "Cinda-bella."  You all thought she was a very beautiful princess.  Sophie Fleet and Zuri Dar were also there.
