At 21 months Annabelle, is turning out to be a lot of things, most of which are entirely endearing. At this point, one thing our days are most certainly, would be um ...anything, and I mean anything but dull. For instance, when you find a half a roll of wadded up toilet paper stuffed in the bottom of her potty chair which remains vacant, except for those few occasions when she sticks " hoppy " her favorite stuffed bunny, on it. That being said, the "potty train" is the new big thing around here right now. And her little potty chair sits ceremoniously. like a royal throne in the smack-dab middle of our living room floor. She is more than happy to run around naked, as she wants to be like her big cousin Jesse who's just started riding the "potty train." So we sing this silly song. And watch her like a hawk, to make sure we don't end up with a puddle or worse on the floor. Occasionaly we bribe her with chocolate. Is that awful of us? Because it ...719 days ago

The minute I opened the door, Annabelle Lucy slipped down from Aunt Lynne's lap, face beaming and seriously raced, squealing across the room, and into my arms. Let me tell you, my heart skipped a beat. Who wouldn't love to come home to that? To her. And David gets to do it 5 days a week.

In three sentences. 1 . " Good job, Mommy! Good job, Daddy! " Most enthusiastically repeated after we tell her so. 2. When I sneeze or cough or clear my throat, without fail: "Bless you Mommy, bless you!" 3. " Pick-a-boo, Mommy!" (meaning of course, peek-a-boo) Posted by chelle at 10:55 AM 0 comments 771 days ago
The following are some little vingettes taken from the day to day life of a happy 20 month old. Mine, to be exact. As well as a list I have been keeping of the cute things she says and how she says them. This is my favorite age so far. Sometimes she calls me " Mommy-Chelle" ocean ( osh-oon ) jacket home yes, yeah & yep puzzle pumpkin ready thirsty eat!" "come !" She'll say, " No, mommy, no! " And after we've dealt with her on it , in a pitiful little voice, " sorry, Mommy, sorry " high five- " high tive" "see _____" she's always wanting us look at something " dancing, dancing " band-aid, owie, bonk-o ( for bonk) play - "pay!" a flower is a - " flowery " "running, running" kick " lets read this " heart apron crocs bottom - " bummey " purse love you- luuuvv-oooo " daddy's truck " balloon "boon" knock-knock jammies beautiful ...
