Months 19-23

Oh my Eleanor, poor second child. Mom has definitely not been good at blogging and keeping up to date with your monthly posts.

You are so cute and chatty and loud! You want to be into everything and anything. Nothing is safe left out when you are close. You follow your big sister around and always want to be doing what shes doing.

 Baby in a trench coat. OMG, so cute. Although, you are really not a baby anymore. You love to talk and chatter away. Your favourite word lately is "why". You really don't know what it means, but it's constantly whys. The vocabulary you have at this stage, certainly is wider and broader then Audra's was at this time, but with her constantly talking to you, you have picked up so much.

 You are such a little hammy. You now say "cheese" any time there is a camera out.
You have great moments of eating, and then other days barely eat anything. At least you are healthy and it's not a big deal if you don't eat like your sister had to.
You are getting better daily with spoons and forks and your motor skills are definitely coming along.

 We did some gymnastic classes that you loved. Running around and being crazy, right up your alley.

 This is the "what? don't look at me pose" I am causing mischief!

 Yup mischief.

 Getting so big. You love playing at the playground and chasing after Audra, or the kids at daycare.

And your newest favourite obsession is stripping. Great.......So it's backwards pj's and duct taped diapers.You think it's absolutely hilarious.

My little, not so little girl anymore. Your second birthday is just around the corner. Hard to believe. You are still a handful. Still get into absolutely everything. You love to screech and scream for some reason. Won't lie, Mom and Dad have thought about getting a water bottle with a sprayer and see if the pet trick of spraying naughty behaviours, might help curb the screaming. But as your dad points out, you don't scream for 20 hours a day now.
No matter the bedtime, you are up bright and early every day. 630 is sleeping for you. Ugh. It's rough, but we get through it.
You are understanding so much now. You love to have stories read to you, and hopefully you'll be a reader like your sister. You don't really have any favourite toys. You want to mess with whatever Mom and Dad have. If you are quiet, it usually means you are getting into trouble and touching something you aren't supposed to be. Or you have gotten ahold of a phone or ipad.
You are crazy and we love you so much.
