Piper 2.5

Some how it passed me by that my baby is now 2 1/2 years old. I just completed my 2014 shutterfly family book and it is crazy how little she was just a year ago. Makes me so sad but this girl is SO funny and I can't wait to see what is in store in the years ahead of us with her!

Piper Rebecca :
- wears 2T clothes, but moving up to 3T shirts and size 5 diapers with size 7 shoes
- loves singing, and talking and talking and talking. She just repeats everything she hears ALL of the time.
- knows her colors, basic shapes, the days of the week, can identify some letters, knows her ABC's (that we have to sing every night), it's amazing the basic every day knowledge that she has of things.
- loves naps, but she hates going to be at night. This is our biggest struggle with her, it takes us over an hour to get her to sleep at night. We did buy her a toddler bed but haven't put it together yet. She's had a couple nights where she has fallen asleep in our bed so this might be our solution to getting her to sleep? I don't know, I'm not sure we should risk moving her out of her crib yet!
- loves her paci....still. She doesn't have it at Generation so we know she can manage without it, but man, it has become a very bad habit for her around the house, which we really need to get rid of!
- loves attention. If we are talking, she will do what she can to get our attention. She talks with her hands, she is SO expressive and repeats the same 'stories' day after day just so she has something to say.
- is our snacker....she'll eat chips, cookies, candy all day if we let her, she's even starting getting into juice which Presley didn't have until she was 4! Don't get me wrong she still loves fruit as much as Presley does but P doesn't do the junk food like Piper will!
- has to pick out her own outfit everyday and she decides how she wants her hair (one pony or two). She is not close to being potty-trained but she actually has gone on the potty a couple times in the last couple weeks.
- is bossy and demanding and it's just so funny to hear she around the house like an actual little kid!  So we have many crying fits with her when she doesn't get what she wants.
'Mommy....where are you??'
'I'm in the bedroom'
'ooooookkkkkkaaaaayyyyyy'......in the same tone Presley would say it to me! LOL!
