Photostory and the cake thief

"I gotta climb up here to get the big sweet thing!"



"Almost there!!"



"Finally! Okay...I have to be sly..."



"Slowly..."


"Aaaand...."

"Success!!"

Quirks

(there's a new post below this one!)

At nearly 2 1/2, you personality is definitely shining through. Here are the funny quirks you have at this age.

- When talking about yourself, you refer to yourself as "she." For example, if you want to go swimming, you say "She wants to go swimming!" A funny one you said today was, "she won't pee pants."

- If you hear someone coming when you are laying with me in the morning, or any other time you have a blanket around, you hide under the covers. While doing so, you whisper "shh shh! hide! hide! hide!" quickly, and wiggle your way under the covers. You're still for a while, and then you can't take it anymore, and you wiggle and giggle.

- You hate being told no, and when you do, you fight your way into what you want. Sometimes it works, and other times, it can land you in time out.

- You love "snacks" and don't eat much of your main meal. As long as you try it, it's okay, since you're a big girl for your age (in a good way!) and are happy and healthy!

- You only get your beloved binkie at night time, nap time, and sometimes in the car. You still ask for it sometimes, but much less than when this first started.

- You wake up in the morning with a VERY wet diaper, and say "I'm soaked."

- You must go to sleep watching "Einsteins," with your binkie, blankie, and juice.

- You are 32 pounds.

- You try to buckle yourself in your car seat, and if I ask you "what do you do with the clip?" you slide it up all the way to your neck, and then down a little bit to where it's supposed to be.

- You can also slide the clip down and wiggle your arms out of the straps. You get a big no-no when this happens!

- You love to scream. And LOVE to hang upside down.

- today, you crawled into the swimming pool box out in the yard, and just chilled there for a while.

- when I swing you in your swing side to side, you say "craaaadle. craaaadle" over and over, with a little smirk on your face.

- You love to spin in your swing. You love to spin in general. What we love about it is watching you try to walk while dizzy. Too funny!

- You love to lick everything. Including things that shouldn't be licked. Like park swings. Gross! You especially love to lick the surface of the water in the pool.

- You're still a little bit scared of the water in the pool, but you're WAY better than last summer, where you didn't even like your floatie.

-When Mommy dunks you under the water in the pool, you rub your eyes and blow raspberries when you come back up.

- Your favorite word, like most two year olds, is "no."

- We're trying to teach you how to ask nicely. When we ask you to ask nicely by telling you to repeat what we say, (I.E. Jacklynn, can you ask "Auntie, can I get down please?) it normally works and you ask nicely and get your way.

- You do a hilarious fake laugh when everyone else is laughing, whether you get it or not. Also, there was a part on an episode of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, that Auntie thought was funny. Now, whenever we get to that part, you laugh.

- Your vocabulary is amazing, and you can repeat pretty much everything we ask you to. You speak in long sentences pretty clearly to us, though other people may not understand right away. You sometimes talk in gibberish, too. Some people think you are much older than you are because of your vocabulary and by how tall you are!

- Your hair is CRAZY long and incredibly curly. You don't like having it brushed, but you get over it after a little while.

If I think of more, I'll add to it, but this is a pretty big list!

Cheese Face

I think we need to find another word besides "cheese" for her to say for the camera.

"I far-yed"

This video was taken in the early morning in Jacklynn's room that she shares with her big sister. That explains the Twilight posters.

Watch until the end....that's the best part, and it gives the reason for the title of this post :)

Live And Learn

This is what happens when you put braids in a kid's hair, let her sleep in them, and leave them in the next day. Oops.

She also got her hair stuck in the zipper of her tent. I will admit to laughing and taking this picture before I freed her. I'm so mean :(

All Grown Up

I think Jacky is eager to become a teenager. She's not only developed quite the attitude, but today, I walked in on Jacklynn getting into her sister's stuff (she left her closet open again...). I picked her up, about to tell her the usual "We don't get into our sister's stuff" deal, but then I caught a whiff of strong fragrance. I recognized the smell, and found the source: under her arms. She'd found her sister's deodorant, and put it on her armpits. She must've needed a refresher.

Apparently, it was also that time of the month....she found a pad, and stuck it over her diaper. Lovely. She looked ridiculous, especially in her froggy night gown and fancy boots. She's going to hate me for this when she is older.....I got a picture of it:




No joke. Glad I shared that with you? You're Welcome :)
