Evelyn and Olivia: 24 Months
So this is it – the final monthly update on you two! I know that I will be glad when I go back to these, but they far from capture all of the things that I wish I could hold on to forever in your growing up. It’s cliché, but it does happen so quickly!
- Both of you are still waiting on our upcoming flight to the US for your molars (or so I assume since that’s when your big sister always choose to get new teeth!)
- You are both saying so many words and sentences and asking questions based on your surroundings. You are picking up on so many things around you and understanding so much.
- You know some basic colors (pink, purple, blue, yellow).
- You both love play-doh, jumping on the trampoline (Evy is getting off the ground, but Liv isn’t quite yet), sandboxes, and swings.
- You are both still taking one nap a day and will regularly ask to go for “paci nap” not long after lunch and walk yourselves up to your room.
- Both of you are still showing signs of wanting to potty train, but we just don’t have enough stability this summer with our US travels to dedicate the time needed to properly work with you.
Evelyn Grace
You are our spunky, friendly, peace-making (most of the time) little girl. You usually give whatever toy your sisters want to them even if you were playing with it first. You love to laugh and we’ve found your secret ticklish spot and take advantage of it regularly. You prefer Daddy to Mommy and found it hilarious to say “I love you Daddy” when I asked you to say “I love you Mommy” in front of our guests. (And because you got such laughter in our reactions you find it hilarious to do it now every time! ;-) ). You are such a joyful and fun daughter and you love to play with your sisters, read books, play play-doh, jump on the trampoline, swing, and do basically anything your big sister Madi is doing (even if you are too small).
Happy 2nd birthday sweet girl!
Love,
Mommy
Olivia Ann
You are full of attitude and sass (obv from your Daddy). You are quick to turn away help or hugs from strangers if you don’t want it as you prefer to tackle things on your own first. You are happy playing with play-doh and dice and legos by yourself for hours. You love to cuddle, play in water, and love pandas. You have started playing imaginary games with Madi and she’s quite entertained to have a partner. Your current favorite is pretending the grass is lava and climbing up the slide. You walk with pep in your step and we wouldn’t trade your personality for anything. You are hard-headed and stubborn and once your mind is set to something there’s no changing it. You are great at climbing and have copied your big sister in holding the two cribs and using your feet to climb the wall.
Happy 2nd birthday sassy girl!
Love,
Mommy
