Twenty-Three Months!

Amidst all of the hustle and bustle of the holidays, Cassandra turned 23 months old! One more month until we celebrate another birthday! In fact, today I was working on her party invitations! Crazy!

She's pretty much into 18 month clothes at this point. She does wear some 12 month stuff, but not a lot anymore. The 18month pants are still long on her so we have to roll them up usually!

Cassandra is still sleeping really well. Her coughing fits have stopped for now (thankfully!) so she's back to sleeping through the night and taking her nap in the afternoon.

Eating is still hit or miss with her. Some days she really puts the food away and other days she's not as interested. She's always interested in food though (which is a good bribing tool at times-haha!) just some days more than others!

Let's see...some new things she's saying these days: "trace your hand", "Happy Thanksgiving", "gobble gobble", "Ho Ho Ho", "reindeer", "santa", "humpty dumpty", "ommyman (ottoman)", "help me", "oh my goodness", "toilet", "I'm done", "bath tub", "I like your necklace", "Merry Christmas", "what the heck?", "what you doing?", "what you havin'?"

She has started singing some songs too! She loves "Jingle Bells", "Humpty Dumpty", "It's Raining, It's Pouring", and "Santa Claus is Coming to Town". It's so cute hearing her little voice trying to sing them! Love it!

She has also started pulling her pants off and trying to put them back on. One day she literally sat there for a half hour just putting them on and taking them off! So silly!

She has started to show some interest in using the bathroom too. As we change her diaper, a lot of times she'll say "go potty" and wants to sit on the toilet. She'll sit there and pretend to wipe, but hasn't made any donations in the bowl yet. Once she does, we'll make it a pretty big deal!

Last week was the first time we had to pick her up sick from daycare. Poor girl had a fever for about 2 days-no other symptoms though which is good. And none of us caught it either! I was just glad she didn't have it for the holidays!

Here are her pics!

Totally not interested!
