Neko - 22 Months

Oh baby girl, please stop growing so fast!  You're hardly a baby anymore and it kinda breaks my heart.  The only thing that makes it bearable is to watch you grow into such a darling, kind, funny, adventurous toddler!  You really are adored, I hope you always know how much you are loved by this little family of yours.

You were sick the entire month of February.  The whole entire month.  So many runny noses and so much throwing up.  Ugh!  
You love to make your brother laugh and have learned that showing off your bum does the trick every single time.
You love to be outside!  And thankfully towards the end of the month it got warm enough for us to go out for a bit!
You know no fear and are super adventurous.  Your favorite thing is to climb to the top of the play set and then try to leap off.  Gives me a heart attack.
You are talking more and more, but a lot of the time we're still all trying to figure out what you're saying, which is frustrating for all of us!
You've become your brother's protector, any time he wants to go out back or get something from upstairs he makes you come with him.
You are officially down to one nap a day.  I was kinda dreading this milestone, but turns out it kinda works out better for everyone's schedule.
You are a total animal lover.  You are by far the most excited family member to have our dog Mikey back!
You had your first dentist appointment and pretty much hated it, but thankfully no cavities!
Mama gave you your first little pigtails, they were darling, but mom could use some work in the girl hair department!
When your dad asks you to show him "so pretty" you throw your arms out wide and give him the biggest grin ever!

January 2016 Family Recap

Oh January, you've been cold and snowy and the perfect kind of hibernating weather!  Despite my strong desire to just hide inside all month, we did manage to do a few fun things together!  We rang in the New Year as a family at home, the kids thought it was great, and we all went to bed by 10!  We played with our friends a lot, the highlight for Dylan was going sledding and building a snowman, he absolutely loved it!  We also spent a Saturday at Scheels, who knew you could have so much fun at a sporting goods store!  And despite our best efforts to get out, we spent a lot of time playing inside, baking, coloring, and of course taking selfies!  Sure love these people of mine!!
