My Pippa is 20 months old today! Wow, she is about to be 2.
Crazy, crazy. Oh man, where to start. She is starting to learn new words. She
asked the other day “where Dada go?” I know Aikman was already talking at her
age but I refuse to stress over stuff and think she is behind and compare her
to everyone else. Each kid is so different and I know she is doing great! She
is really well behaved and listens so well. She has her moments, don’t get me
wrong but she will walk right by you and not run off and if you tell her not to
touch something, she won’t. She goes directly to time out when told and then
comes and apologizes and kisses you. She has started trying to throw fits where
she lays on the ground with her face down but that always ends in a spanking and
time out so she is doing it less and less. She is very affectionate and loves
to sit in your lap and cuddle, especially if you are on the floor. I know I am
biased but she is absolutely adorable and knows it. She uses it to her
advantage with her daddy. The other day in Target this lady stopped me and
asked how old she was and said she was absolutely gorgeous. She even called her
mom over to see her and she said the same thing. I was so proud at that moment.
Not that I need someone to tell me my kid is beautiful, but it was sweet to
hear. She LOVES stuffed animals and plays with all of them. She still loves her
kitchen and the play food and pushing her shopping cart around. I think for her
next birthday we will start getting her baby dolls and all the accessories. She
also has this new love for Legos. She walks in Aikman’s room and takes his tub
off the shelf and will play with them. We want to get her this bucket from
Target with girly colors so they can each have their own and we will know which
are his or hers. She is hit or miss with things like painting and things that
get your hands dirty. Sometimes she is all for it, sometimes she wants her
hands to stay clean. She loves playing outside though and loves burying her
feet in the sand at the park we frequent. She loves her necklaces and hair bows.
She loves eating. She could eat fruit and vegetables all day. The only thing I
have found she isn’t huge on is chicken. She always kind of picks at it.
Macaroni and spaghetti are still some of her favorites. We are trying to work
with her on not having a sippy cup and using a big girl cup. She is a pro at
using her utensils and loves eating cereal with her spoon. She always tries to
copy you if you do something and is so cute when she blows kisses and tries to
wink. Dancing is one of her favorite things in the world. She likes to have a
book with her at night in her crib and no longer requires her cup to sleep. She
loves washing her hands and is so good about rubbing her hands together
repeatedly and then rinsing them. The last two days she has pointed to the toilet
and to herself if you are using it and acts like she wants to sit up there.
Devin took her diaper off and set her up there and she did pee and then she
hopped down. Maybe she will be ready soon! Call me lazy but I am not ready to
start that with her. I remember the stress of starting Aikman when he wasn’t
quite ready so we will give it a few more months before we are full blown with her.
She is cuter and funnier with each day that passes. I love my Pippa Lous.
