Things I'm so thankful for:
1. Her passion for her friends and family. She knows the names of people that belong to the various places we go.
2. Her strength. Her little 2 year old body can do so much already! A worker in our church nursery said "she's the climbiest baby I've ever seen!"
3. Her manners. She's very quick and doesn't have to be reminded often to say please, thank you or sorry.
4. Her listening and obeying skills in public places. For the most part, I can count on her to do what I ask when we are somewhere other than home. 
5. Her lack of attachment to objects. I'll never have to worry about taking something away from her or getting her to stop doing something because she's attached to nothing!
Things she loves: candy (specifically suckers), elephants and cows, sliding, playing outside, toodles
- She woke up with her first night of vomit in the crib. She was just whiney and it took me a while to get in there. Once we started cleaning her up, she got upset. Then she got a pedialite Popsicle, and got to watch frozen on the couch and was fine.
She threw up again that night and again the next afternoon, and then it turned into a cold/croupe sounding thing. And Andrew got the stomach bug!
- She finally put a puzzle together correctly on her own!
- She says "fry" every time we drive by or through a fast food restaurant.
- A new phrase I've been having to use way too much: "we don't eat books."
- She throws herself on the ground or hits things when stuff isn't going her way.
- She doesn't like getting her nose sucked, so what night after I did it (she had a cold) she slapped the mirror. I gave her a stern look and she looked at me innocently and said "a bee". (She likes to pretend to kill bugs.)
- She has assigned seats for people at our table. She walks around and names who the chairs belong to (daddy, mama, Lolly, papa, claire)
- She looks for people saying "where are you" /sounds like Ariel/
- She's very good with colors now.
- We have a shapes book and she can point to the correct shape on each page.
- She's in a new phase where she wakes up at 11:30 and screams. The only thing that will get her to stop crying is an episode of a show and a snack. These are night terrors.
- She says "no" and "yeah" in the most enthusiastic way.
- She started saying "mine".
- Now loves cheeseburgers
- She has started saying "ummmm" sometimes when asked a questions.
- All in the same day, she ate a bug, a flower and drank from Brody's water bowl. When asked about the bug she said, "a bee. Mmmm mmm."
- She will willingly stick her whole face in the water.
- She has started wanting a nightlight (projection of fish) on while she sleeps.
- She runs like a normal person now
- She wants to hold our hand rather than just a finger.
- When she cries, she tells us "I sad" and points to her tears.
- When she's throwing a tantrum, she spits and says "I spit".
- She's a big daddy's girl right now.
- Anytime we ask her if she wants a sister or brother, she says sister "Didert". She can say both of the names we like most for each gender.
- We had a Curtis family vacation in Branson. Her attitude was definitely shining bright, but she had a great time. She LOVES rides at Silver dollar city!
- We trick-or-treated at our church's trunk or treat and then around our neighborhood with Jack and Know. She never said "trick or treat" but did say "thank you". She mostly just wanted to sift through and eat the candy she had.
