Our 22 Month "Chatty Cathy"











Two more months until our little girl turns two, we can't believe it! She has really taken off learning her letters and new words. Her favorite letter is the letter "o" and looks for it constantly on signs and around the house (including on her Ohio State sippy and Andy's Ohio State PJ pants). She is excellent at making the sounds of the letters (thanks to Leap Frog) and loves to make animal sounds (monkey, owl, etc). Sarah likes to say "all done" when done with her meals/snacks so she can get down and play. We think it is so cute when she says the word "hole." She also notices ouchies and says oh-no and wants to kiss it to make it feel better.

She loves all her new presents from family. When we were "snowed in" the other day, we were grateful for the new toys and books and even loves to try on her new clothes. A new favorite right now are her bug puppets that we call her hug bugs. The four little puppets have a "bed" in her closet out of a quilt and she must tuck the bugs in before she goes to sleep. (She also keeps pointing to the closet saying"bug").

On the way home from Bravo's the other night, (about a 25 minute trip) she sang songs and talked the whole way home. She uses a fork and spoon well. Favorite foods include raspberries, greek yogurt, and meat lasagna.

It has been a wonderful MLK Day with Andy having the holiday off work. We went shopping and found a birthday present for Bon Papa, a new swimsuit for Sarah along with some new ladybug pjs & GAP hoodie sweatshirt to match Andy. I think we'll take a family trip to Starbucks after nap time.

Baby #2 is doing well and my 3rd trimester starts Sunday. So far so good and feeling great. The baby is very active and feel him/her move lots during the day. It is already time to go to the doctor every other week.

We just found out that on the weekends, we can take Sarah swimming at the Butler indoor pool at the Health & Recreation Center where Andy & I go workout.

That is all for now. Enjoy the photos!!
