23 Months

My beautiful, sweet, loving and kind little baby girl is 23 months today.

In one month she will be 2! 

It makes me a little sad because of  how fast she is growing up. I have held her from day 1 and I don't regret that at all. I would do it all over again

I love this sweet face. She is starting to make different faces when she looks at things and it is so cute. I have got to get some of them on camera.  Those eyes melt my heart and her lips........oh how I love when she puckers up for a kiss!!

She has the sweetest smile!

She is really starting to say a lot more. She is trying to repeat  a lot of what I say.

Her first words were mama but for some reason she never said it much. I guess she did not have to, I was always there. All of the sudden she is saying all the time. Just this morning she was following me......saying  mama mama mama!! The sweetest words ever. I can't imagine how it will feel when she says, I love you!!

She is really on a great schedule and I did not do it, she did this herself.  She takes 1 nap a day for about 2-3 hrs. A lot of the time she will nap most of it by herself.  She goes to bed anywhere between 8:45 - 9:30 and sleeps most of the night by herself.  I am still giving her a bottle to get her to sleep and that I have to work on SOON!! I just dread taking it away.

I love this picture.

 I asked her if she would sit there and let me take her picture.

She did but she could not take her eyes off the cat.

She is a happy baby.  She loves to play babies and color
. I love that her imagination is growing!!

She loves to explore the great outdoors.

 She is just happy walking around outside.

She has started runny a lot.

 Sometimes more than walking!

She has a love for animals.

 She always wants to pet them.

We love you so very much!!
