Waverly is 22 months old, as of December 27th!
She is no longer a little bitty baby, crawling, walking, babbling. Instead, she has grown up to be a toddler, a big girl who runs, jumps, skips and hops everywhere. She speaks in complete sentences, saying the cutest things all day long. She loves her an-i-mals, sounding out each syllable. She loves to play in her room. She adores her baby brother and she is a great helper for Mommy. Most of all, she is a joy to watch and love.
Waverly likes to help Mommy do all the chores. She likes to do dishes, sweep the floor, and help give brother a bath. She is becoming so independent, preferring to do everything on her own.
I'm hoping she continues to enjoy doing the laundry... but I fear this is just a fun game for now and the novelty will wear off when she has to actually fold clothes and put them away!
Waverly's favorite game is hide-and-seek, or at least a more grown-up version of peek-a-boo! She will take Daddy by the hand and lead him to her room, then run into her princess tent and say "Where did Wavey go?" before popping her head out and saying, "You find me!" We play this game every night before bed time and it surprisingly, never gets old!
Waverly's favorite thing to do is any kind of arts and crafts. She loves her "projects", anything from coloring and stickers to drawing and painting. She likes painting most of all. She is very good with applying glue to projects and then glueing on little jewels. She can draw circles and she recognizes all of the shapes, including the hard ones like trapazoid and pentagon (thank you, Melissa & Doug puzzles!). We are learning the A, B, C's and 1, 2, 3's. She knows all of the colors and is quick to tell you that something is blue or yellow.
She impresses me, daily!
