Carson - 23 Months!




 At 23 Months
  • Carson says strawbeddies. Cutest thing ever!
  • She is very good at climbing up and down the stairs. So good, in fact, that she likes to hang on the railing occasionally. Dear. "By self, Mommy."
  • "Get off me." Usually uttered when I am trying to help her do something or hold her hand while in the parking lot.
  • She has pretty good manners. She says please, thank you and excuse me. She also says "bess you" after I sneeze.
  • She likes to buckle herself in. She can only do the top of the 5 point harness right now although I am sure it won't be long until she can do it all.
  • If someone or something is missing, she says "Reedy are? Mommy are? Hand are?"
  • She has started to recognize when Reed gets into trouble. "Reedy in trouble. Reedy not nice."
  • Famous words from one sibling to another. "No way Reedie. Stop it."
  • She started begging for bites of my peanut butter toast every morning, so now she gets her own piece. She loves the crunchy kind and usually just picks the peanuts out to eat.
  • Pretty please equals "petter please".
  • She bites her nails and picks her nose. Yay.
  • If we asked her if she has finished her meal or done something we asked, her response is usually "not yet".
  • "I so proud of you." She says this to Reed a lot, but Chris and I get it sometimes. 
  • She can count my fingers on one hand, although she sometimes likes to hop around to different numbers.
  • She definitely knows the color pink.
  • She can sometimes identify a square, triangle and a circle. She shocked her brother the other day when she guessed rectangle and was correct.
  • She loves for her Kath to sing "Taking home a baby bumble bee", and she has already started singing herself.
  • Carson has started to become super sensitive and whiney. If someone besides Chris or I tell her no or to stop doing something, she puts on a super sad face and starts crying, sometimes hysterically. Poor baby! Apparently, this is normal, because I looked back at Reed's 23 month blog and I said the same thing about him.
  • Carson loves to jump and run. "Ready, set, go!" She has this stance when she starts to run. Too cute!
  • She can count to 10. After 10, it is "evven, twelve, firteen, firteen, firteen".
  • She just started saying "I wuv you" unprompted. Sweetest thing ever! She also told me that I was her best friend ever. : ) She also told Chris that a day later, ha!
  • She has her two bottom 2 year molars.





She goes from excited to take pictures to this in 2.2 seconds. I promise I only took a few photos after the one below.

A trip to the aquarium!

We got annual passes to the aquarium when we went for Carson's birthday last year. Their big sales pitch is it pays for itself in two visits. Well, guess what? We just went for the second time in May, almost a year after our first visit. Dear. We just may have to go to the aquarium every week until her birthday.
