Charli Suttyn: 22 Months!!

IMG_a6047

 Wow! Just a month or so and you will be 2 already!! Geez. I'm going to go rock myself in the corner now.      :(

*You talk a lot now!  Just about every word we ask for you to repeat, you say on command in your own sweet way!  Woo hoo!  You love to go around the room and say each person's name out loud.  Ansley is "Ehee" and the best is when you say "Arli" for Charli.  You love to see our reaction to the way you say it.

*Your spunky and sweet personality shines through so much now with you facial expressions and eyes.  You love to give a quick smile back when you're told "no" just to see if you can get away with it.  Your cute dimples of course, showing up from across the room.  Most of the time we stand our ground, but then there's those times when that adorable smile is too cute to NOT let you have your way!  You know how to work us, that's for sure!  Your "side eyes" are our favorite glances too!

*Your laugh is so contagious!

*Usually you can share with Ansley nicely, but there are times when you have recently been letting out a huge squeal if she gets anywhere near your toy at that moment.  What can I say....you are spunky AND still learning the rules of sharing.  Ansley is always a good sport about it, but soon enough she's going to call your bluff I think!

*You've been showing a lot of interest in potty training lately.  You tell me when you've pooped or peed pretty much when it's happening and sometimes before, so we've recently pulled the potty chair out to see what happens.  You will usually tell me and head to the bathroom, so I think you're learning to put it all together!  Time and practice will tell!

*Your first love is reading still, but drawing and coloring is a close second, especially with Sis always writing.  You will NOT be outdone.  My favorite is when Ansley holds up her artwork and then you are soon to join in with showing off your own.  You love to see our reactions and pride just overflows from your sweet face when you do!

*You are starting to become more attached to your fuzzy blanket and your plush, blonde baby doll.  Thankfully, we were gifted several of these said baby dolls so if you do become really attached, we won't have a Beatrice situation on our hands. Whew!

*You like to do knucks with Daddy and blow it up.  Cutest thing ever.

*We have recently noticed a more tender side to you.  Usually you are going 90 to nothing, so getting much attention from you is sometimes hard.  Lately, you are giving loves, hugs, and lots of kisses and we just can't get enough!

*You are wearing size 6-7 shoe and size 2T/3T clothes.  Still rocking the size 4 diapers.

*You love to be outside these days.  We can't swing you enough and you are a rockstar at climbing the stairs of the swing set to get to the slide.  You would play all day if we could!

Love you, girl.  Love watching you grow and being your momma.  Every day is a blessing with you in it!
