Scarlett is 21 months old!

Well, technically she is 22 months old at the time I am posting this - but let's go back, shall we!?

At 21 months, Scarlett:
*weighs 24 lbs and is 33 inches long (30%ile and 60%ile)

*has blue eyes and curly blond hair

*is starting to thin out a bit like her sister

*wears size 2T clothes size 6 shoes, size 5 diapers

*has Paci only in crib

*wants to go potty, no luck yet.  She sees Lilli doing it and really wants to try! She loves to flush the potty and congratulate herself, despite never doing anything in it!

 

*sleeps through night and takes 2-3 hour daily nap.  Lately she can skip a nap and do ok, but we try to keep her on schedule

*picky eater - she only eats what she wants and will eat just a few bites some meals

*throws a good fit to get what she wants - she has a TEMPER!  She is still cuddly when she wants to be, though!

 *LOVES "yummies" (Gummies), pretzels as long as she gets to whole the big bag, anything sweet like candy, her Pooh Bear, Blankie and Paci

 *can: count to 10 (but forgets 6-8), say her ABCs but leaves out some letters, sing songs with us because she knows some of the words (Jesus Loves Me, Blue Skies, etc)

 *talks very well.  She can put words together to make sentences and ask questions.  We love it when she says, "why not?", "what doin?", "my turn!" "SHARE!" (which she thinks just means give it to HER). "
Come-mere Bo Bear, get some food!" "change you diaper?"  She pronounces her Ls as Ds, just like Lilli did.  So she says "Scar-dett" and "codor"

 *went to the beach for the 2nd time – and slept with Lilli in big bed for 1^st time

*celebrated the 4^th of July.  She liked the fireworks but we left early because Lilli needed to pee!

*got Bo the dog - but she likes him on her terms only!

 

*started swimming with her floaties on and can jump in the pool by herself and go under

*went bowling as a family for the first time - she liked writing on the score sheet and wearing the shoes

 Loves accessories - she constantly asks for a purse or some jewerly!

 Scarlett is the reason you baby proof!  She is VERY curious!

 Scarlett Jean,
As I am writing this you are nearing your 2nd birthday!  It is hard to believe you are reaching the milestones and growing up to be a little girl and no longer a baby.  You keep us laughing every day and we couldn't imagine our life without you!  You are strong willed but we wouldn't want you any other way!  Now let's plan a party!
