23 Months

Almost 2 years old! She is 2 years old going on 10 years old! She is little Miss Independent.

Here are a few fun Neela facts from this month:
- During bath time one night she was singing "Twinkle Twinkle little Star" so I joined in singing with her and she stopped singing and said, "Mommy, stop. My turn." ... and continued singing!?! I was shocked, little miss independent.

- Runner. Everywhere she goes she runs.

- One day in the car she heard the song "Firework" by Katy Perry and she now walks around the house singing this song!

- She has officially turned into a picky eater. She is still eating healthy food, but just not currently a big variety. we're working on it. :)

- Once again, all girl. She loves her hair in a pony tail.

- She is big on ownership. If she sees our phone or her bows and says takes it to that person and tells them this is their belonging. She kind of freaks out if someone tries to take someone elses belonging.

- She is learning all kinds of new songs at school and sings them. Shark song and something else... but sorry I can't remeber it at this moment.

- She loves swimming. She can spend hours in the water with her floaties and mommy or daddy by her side.

- One night at my sister in law's home she did not sleep very well so Tim and I rocked her, hummed to her, cuddled her, and tried to get her to sleep with us. (none of it worked) Well, a night later after we came back home I saw Neela in her crib doing the same thing with her baby doll! She was softly talking to her doll, rocking her, and covered the baby with her blanket. So sweet! She is such a copy cat!!

- She loves her baby doll. She carries her everywhere and feeds the baby her food and washes the babies face and hands with baby wipes. She even tried to teach her doll to go potty and the doll half fell in the potty. (The doll had to have a bath... in the the washer :))

- Really enjoyed easter egg hunting at school and at our church.

We love you Neela and are thankful for the gift you are.
