Blair - 22 Months!

It has been forever since I last did an update on Blair and even blog for that matter but I am going to try to catch up. Blair is almost two and I just can't believe how much older she seems these days. She says the funniest things and has such a fun (and feisty!) personality. Here are some of the things I could think of that she is doing right now. I actually went back to our blog to see what Halle was doing around this time and I could almost copy and paste everything she was doing into this post for Blair which is amazing to me. They are both growing up way too fast!!

• She is talking a lot these days - here are some of the things she says:
• "Awesome!"
• "I love it!"
• "Excuse me"
• "It's funny"
• "Here I come!"
• Says "Tay" for yes
• When she asks where Daddy is and I say he is at work, she says "People?" for fixing people
• Is really good at using her manners - almost always says "thank you" when I give her something
• Can count to 10 except "6" and knows a lot of colors
• Can sing most of "Twinkle twinkle", "Let it go" and "Jesus loves me"
• Just started going to Lily Pad Preschool two days a week from 9-11am and loves it - she even tells me a lot about what they did at school - and she absolutely loves the guinea pig, Baloo, that they get to play with
• Just started gymnastics and really likes it- I was so impressed the way she listened to her teacher ad did all of the skills they wanted her to do! Her favorite things are running around in circles on the mat, jumping from anything and hanging on the bars/rings
• She is definitely testing her boundaries but is so cute in that once she knows she did something wrong, she will either hug you or put herself in timeout a lot of the time - so for instance, if she hits, she will immediately give me a hug!
• Loves to do everything herself...will say "help you" or "self" when she wants to do it herself 
• Does not like grocery shopping- only wants to get down and do it her own way!
• Likes to carry Halle's lunchbox or backpack when taking and picking up Halle
• Every morning she helps me make our bed and shows me where to go potty!
• She loves Halle so much and is always thinking about her - will always gets two of everything- one for her and one for Halle
• Favorite toy right now- the Melissa and Doug ice cream cone set - she plays with this everyday!
• Favorite movie- Frozen
• Favorite foods- Mac and cheese and chicken nuggets- not a huge fan of sweets
• Favorite books- Mickey search and find, My First Book of Colors by Eric Carle, Goodnight Gorilla
• Wants to sit on her potty whenever we change her diaper but she's only ever gone once
• Loves the playground - especially the slide and swing
• She's very enthusiastic- will say "yay" when I tell her lunch/dinner is ready
• One of my favorite things she does is put out her hand and motion Halle to come while she says "come here Halle!"
• Is doing pretty good at sharing
• Her new nickname is "Boo" since we think she looks like the little girl, Boo, from Monsters Inc.
• Is just now starting to wear 18-24 months clothes and I think she is around 22 lbs and 32 in. tall
• Schedule: Goes to bed around 8-9pm and wakes up around 6-7am and usually takes a nap around 1:30-2:30 for around 1.5-2 hrs. She doesn't seem to require much sleep which Brandon reminds me will make her very efficient some day! 

We love you so much Blair Blair!!
