E at 1-1/2

Yep, Edyn is 21 months and I'm just posting things for 18 months.  


Our little princess is growing, growing, growing. She is doing new things every day and becomes more independent each day. She is now 31.5 inches tall and 24 lbs.  


She talks - ALL THE TIME.  Having a big brother that talks all the time is probably helpful.  She says so many words, I have lost track.  Words used most often are mommy, daddy, broer (brother), bosco, puppy, baby, milk, nigh-nigh, eat, yum, cracker, side (outside), stinky

She has started learning the art of using utensils.  Sometimes, she still prefers her hands, but about half the time, she'll use a spoon and a fork.  She also attempts to drink out of a normal cup like big brother, but that has not worked very well.  

E loves to be outdoors with her brother - and Bosco.  She'll follow Strummer everywhere, walk where he's walking, run to catch up, draws with chalk.  Loves going for wagon rides and going to the park to swing, slide and again, follow her brother to whatever he's doing. 

On the topic of her brother - she and Strummer are getting along better each day.  Which is awesome! Another thing is she wants to do everything he does - and becomes mad when she can't.  Just the little things like walking down the stairs (which she can't on our stairs because they are to steep). Eating on a regular chair (because she's to short).  Just the little things.  I guess in her little head, she should be able to do whatever her brother is doing and she just wants to grow up faster than I want her to.  :)


Here are some items she currently loves - animals, accessories (hair, jewelry), shoes, milk, cheese, dolls (current obsession is Baby Snow White), dressing up. 


Edyn truely is a little princess.  She is our sweet, loveable, easy-going little girl!
