I'm 2 and a half...

... going on 16!!!
Things I like to do: I love to make soup in my little kitchen, play with my new doll house, read books, go on errands with Mommy (Walmart, the bank, and Fareway), play the piano, dance, color, have tea parties with Mommy, play "come back here" with Papa, play with play-doh,

help Mommy pick up things she drops (she's been doing that a lot, lately), play with Charlie, watch Elmo's World, Winnie the Pooh, Barney, and Funniest Home Videos.
Favorite toys: I love playing with my Elmo and Abby, my blue purse, my baby dolls, any little containers, Samantha, Legos, my memory game, and my little kitchen.
How I've been sleeping: I usually go to bed between 8 and 8:30. I wake up around 7:30 and play in my room until around 8. I usually nap from 1:30ish until around 3:30 or 4. I sometimes fight my nap, but I still definitely need a nap! I get grumpy when I don't nap. All in all, I'm a very good sleeper.
Favorite foods: Macaroni and cheese, frozen peas, green peppers, apples, pears, goldfish, cheerios, fig newtons, banana smoothies (that Papa makes for me), cottage cheese, whales, and chocolate.
Favorite songs to sing: Elmo's song, Jingle Bells, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, ABCs, Jesus Loves Me, The B-I-B-L-E, Old McDonald, and Happy Birthday.
Milestones: I'm learning new words everyday... and surprising Mommy and Papa all the time with my new words. I can count to 20 and can recognize 0 - 9. I do a good job describing things (cold, hot, soft, long, etc.) and carrying on a short conversation. When I ask for things, I now say "please" and "thank you", consistently. I, also, use a spoon and fork and usually don't spill! I can identify my colors and most "normal" animals. I can skip, jump and throw a ball.
Milestones I'm working on: Mommy still helps me get dressed and undressed and brush my teeth. I don't think I'll be using the "big girl" potty anytime soon. I'm just not ready, yet. I love my cloth diapers! :) I share pretty well, but I still have to be reminded, sometimes. I'm working on coloring more in the lines, and drawing specific shapes (copying). Mommy and Papa are trying to teach me to say "I'm" instead of "my". I sometimes say "My going to get my toys" instead of "I'm going to get my toys".

My personality: My mommy and papa still think that I have a very sensitive heart. I care about how others are feeling and want to make them happy. However, I do have a bit of a temper, at times. I'm learning that when I become angry or frustrated, I can't throw things or hit. I have to sit in time out when I do that. I'm learning how to handle my emotions and be a good listener and obeyer. I make Mommy and Papa laugh, and I love people, animals, and my friends.
