Cuteness overload

You my love, are killing your dad and I  your cuteness. We constantly tell each other how cute you are and tell you how cute you are because you simply are so adorable right now. You have always been cute but it is so much fun watching you learn and say new words and phrases. You still say "please "instead of yes but you are starting to say yeah a little bit more. Right now you love to say "darn it "and and you also are saying "I'll be right back "and pointing your finger as you say it. You love to go to run errands, and especially Love to go to the mall and to "wall murt". We started you in dance class and at first you were just very observant and watched all of the girls dance and we stuck with it and we are so glad because you have blossomed into a beautiful little dancer. You do everything in class now and seem to really enjoy it. You run into the room without mom even having to tell you and you love to do the frog jumps! You love to ride on your dads shoulders and he loves to take you to breakfast still. You also love to creep up on your brother and tickle him and he always cracks up at you. We started reading books at night in our bed and you love to do that and cuddle with us in our bed! After we switched Odin to his room and had to let him cry a little in the night you would wake up sometimes because we saw you on the monitor, but you still never cried out or made any noise and would always go back to sleep. You are still are great little night sleeper and for that we are very thankful! You are having fun making new friends and playing in nurseries at church and at mops and you love to go to Grammies and hang out. You also are having fun helping mom make dinner! You always ask to help. It's so sweet. I love to hear you say "thank you mommy quote and you are so sweet and are learning to apologize when you know you do something wrong😌 I love your cute little legs and you are still so petite and your hair is starting to grow in but it is still not long enough to do much of anything although you do let me put it into pigtails which look very cute. You love to wear dresses and until it got super cold we pretty much couldn't convince you otherwise. You love to wear your Nike's which you call your "running shoes quote and I'm still not sure where you picked up on that, it's very cute. You love to play ring around the Rosie and there was a week where mom and dad probably saying and played it with you 20 times every single night and more during the day. You love to practice your dance class moves at home. For breakfast every morning you always ask to have a "shake. " that's because mom always drinks her protein shake in the morning and you want to be just like mommy. So I started making you a smoothie shakes for breakfast and you drink that for at least a month or more but are starting to get tired of them now I think! We just bought you the movie frozen which is a Disney movie and you are somewhat beginning to be interested in watching movies, you do really like to watch the baby Einstein videos. 

The cutest thing

You have started singing, and you say some of the words to the songs mommy sings you for your nap routine and at bedtime. For nap I usually sing you are my sunshine, and sometimes you'll sing "sunshine" and the word "gray." At night I sing to you Jesus loves you, and you will say "the Bible,"  and it is so terribly cute I just saying to you over hoping you will do it again. At 27 months now, you are picking up so many words every day and you are saying sentences. Your favorite thing the last couple days is to say "I sweep da by!" Which means "I sweep the fly. "And you also say it about crickets because I am always sweeping the crickets out of the garage. You call crickets "chit chits!" It's so cute. We cannot even explain the amount of cuteness that is going on. I pretty much die all day long. You also talk about your "Broncos shirt. "And you are good at putting your shoes on. You've been very good at spotting things outside the car now like buses and trucks. Today you loved pouring your letter puzzle pieces into cups and pouring them back and forth. You also are very cute in saying "my daddy is at wert (work)!" 

25 1/2 months

Oh Leonie, we just can't get over how cute you are. Every day she seems to just get cuter and cuter. Kevin always comments on how stinking cute she is. She is just the cutest little girl in the whole wide world. Right now at 25 months almost 26 months all, she has some super cute and hilarious-"isms." Probably one of my favorite is that for several months now you use the word please or "peez" in stead of the word yes. In fact, she has never said the word yes that I know of. And lately she answers "uh-peez." Putting the "uh" in front of the peez. It is so funny and she says it different ways. Sometimes it's really fast and in a monotone voice and sometimes it's very slow and cute. She hasn't done it lately, but when I would put her down for her nap or for bed time, while I was holding her and rubbing her back I would tell her I love her, over and over, and after each time she would reply "peez." So stinking cute. Pretty much every day right now she says a new word. Right now she is often saying "mommy's running shoes" or "daddy's work shoes." When she says work, she calls it "wert." And she says "daddy at wert." It's so cute because I always explain to her that daddy is at work so that mommy can be home with her all day. She is now really understanding that or at least telling me that he is at work. She also tells me "mommy at home wit meeee?" Another cute thing she is saying a lot right now is "watch this. " she will do any random thing from running across the room to jumping off something small or falling on her butt on the bed or jumping in her crib. It is so cute and she loves to ask us to watch her. She is much more into the iPhone and playing with it lately mostly watching the PBS kids app but she also likes to mess around with all of the apps and look at the pictures and watch videos that I did over and over. Especially the ones singing happy birthday to anybody especially her birthday. She is super affectionate, and often will rub your back and kiss you many times or wrap her arms around your leg. It is cute to see her interact with her baby doll, she swaddles the baby and puts her down for nap, and she pretends to nurse her sometimes and the other day I caught her putting the pumping cones on her tummy! She seems to enjoy her baby brother but definitely gets up in his face a lot. Right now I think she is cutting her two year molars. She has been cranky off and on for several days and had a runny nose yesterday. She is also very into saying "me! " she can be quite independent and now always wants to do most things on her own. She insists usually on climbing into her own car seat, and always wants to click the buckle. It takes forever to get her in the car and sometimes even out of the car because she wants to climb down by herself. She is very obsessed with baby Greta right now too. She will often just ask "baby Gretta at home? " when we ask her at night who she wants to pray for she always always says baby Greta first, at least right now! It's so sweet.
