22 Months

Oh my goodness! Is my Eve really almost 2?! I can't believe it!

She is such a big girl now. She is speaking a lot, and can communicate exactly what she wants, it's been a blessing and also a curse. Haha, she speaks her mind no matter what, you can always count on her honesty. Even when it comes to your cooking. She is having a little trouble with her "L's" but she's getting there. Anyways, she is developing so quickly, more and more I am accepting that she is a big girl and letting go of the baby she used to be. She tells me if she wants one, two or no ponies in her hair in the morning, picks out her own bows, and pajamas. (We haven't graduated to her picking out all her own clothes yet, I or maybe my vanity isn't ready for that yet) Did I mention she loves to dig into my makeup?

I have to hand it to her, at least she knows where each item is meant to go.

She loves to brush her teeth! YES! She right now is really into her books, coloring, painting, and stickers. Man oh man, you can get her to do anything for a sticker. She will eat vegetables (within reason) pick up her toys, refrain from invading the Christmas tree, you name it! All in the name of her getting another sticker. She will stick them to many surfaces until they have lost the adhesive, then come back asking for more.
She is getting really good at manners, she has learned most situations to use them without being prompted :)
She is definitely having many more "terrible twos" moments. A lot of tantrums, time outs, and hitting in times of her frustration. But I will say, her speech development has really helped out, she is more and more using her words than fists or screaming.
She has enough personality for about 5 people...Yes, all by herself she removed her undies because it was vital they they be on her head to read a book, oh and she needed to pull out the entire drawer of books.

I love these little surprises I run into on a regular basis...

She is still the same picky eater, loves her bread and cereal. We are still working on her to try new foods, but she has a strong will, if it's not her idea...forget about it. But I love that she has a little fire in her, keeps things interesting.
She can be sassy and fiesty, but at the right time she is still a very sweet girl. She always rushes and says "warry" (sorry) anytime you bump into things etc.
She had her first real haircut! Well sort of, while she watched Dora, wait let me clarify, while she sat comatose to Dora's spell..I cut off her semi mullet. Just about an inch and a half to even things out, and she looks so much older. Isn't it crazy how when you trim the fine baby hairs they seem to age immediately?

We love you Eve, you're the best!
