Still small. She's still not forward facing in her carseat. Ours has a 22lb minimum to face forward and Ida has been hovering just under and just over 20 lbs. We got a stern talking to from one of the pediatricians (not our regular guy) and have been adding tons of butter and oil to everything she eats. She's just SUPER active and probably burns it all off as she puts it on.
She's got lots of new words and phrases, mostly related to food, animals, and body parts. She says "igotcha", "idunno","goce" (gross),"howyou" (how are you), and "thanks".
She's learned "me" and "mine" but loves to share. She wants to do everything by herself these days.
She's very particular about what she wears and is actually pretty good at accessorizing. The other day CP put her in a denim dress and tried to put on some navy socks, but Ida protested. She wanted the pink socks, which she paired with a pink barrette and her "puhse."
Here she is wearing my socks (with help from her friend Tin) and galoshes.
Her new favorite activity is hanging from a bar at the park. And climbing up the slides.
Practicing for sullen teenagerhood.
She loves spending time with her cousins.
She is very affectionate. The other day, she was the first one to wake up and she demanded "a kiss...a kiss" from her sleeping parents. She hugs, kisses, laughs and dances when she's happy.
Favorite foods: balki (broccoli), papas, rice, beans, peas, mame (edamame), gapes (grapes), m m m (m&ms), cheese, and pasta.
Favorite favorite: still elmo, always elmo
