Janie Beth {2.5 Years}

Sweet, sweet Janie Beth. My how you make our life so much more fun! You my darling are the most hilarious little girl but you can also drive us crazy!!! You are a talking machine and I wanted so badly for you to carry on a conversation with me and now there is no stopping you. You recently discovered the word "why" and it makes me want to bang my head against the wall! But, this is how you learn- I try to remind myself of that.

It amazes me how you remember the craziest of things that happened days, weeks, and sometimes months ago! You are so smart and I feel like you grew over night once we brought Bennett home. You absolutely love being a big sister. You always want to help with Bennett and you get very concern when he cries and it also bothers you that he won't take a paci.

Now, you and your daddy have a special bond that I LOVE watching! You absolutely adore him and will do EVERYTHING he does! Y'all will play from sun up to sun down and come up with the weirdest games. You depend on your daddy to make you laugh and to copy you when you make a funny noise or face. He will annoy you like a big brother, but turn on the daddy role immediately! Y'all are the cutest things ever! You are so lucky to have him!

When it comes to cuddling, eating, kissing boo-boos, and anything nurturing you come running to me! I love that you rely on me to make things better for you. I may not be the "fun" one but I love the things we do together. You are my girly girl. You love to read books with me, have me paint your toes and finger nails, fix your hair, and much more girly things! I am so blessed you are mine!

Other fun things about you:

• You have recently become obsessed with your dolls. You are constantly wanting to feed them, change them, burp them, and dress them.
• Your imagination has really taken off. You come up with the craziest stories and scenarios and make us act them out. 
• You absolutely love school and your teachers. They comment on how very smart you are and if they are ever absent they never worry about anything because they know you will run the classroom.
• Your best friend is Georgia Kate and I love seeing your friendship with her grow.
• You are a picky picky eater! Your favorite foods are spaghetti, pb&j, "Belle" soup, apple sauce, and yogurt! Oh - and you recently like hamburgers!
• You're sleeping like a champ in your big girl bed and still an awesome sleeper! You love your 12-2 naps and bed time! Still addicted to your paci and lovie!
• Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and Roadster Racers are still your favorite shows, but mainly you watch awful craziest shows on the iPad!

I am loving this age and want to freeze it!!!
