I opted to do some jammie pictures since I haven't done that in a while. Those were done on the 23rd but the purple outfit was the next morning. I couldn't resist how cute she looked in her pig tails!
Now, where do I even begin with the changes that Kezzie is making...first of all she isn't sleeping as much. She goes to bed anywhere between 7:30 and 8:30 (usually on the later side) and wakes between 6:15 and 7am (usually on the earlier side). She still lays down for a nap around 12:30 and wakes between 2 and 3 (rarely later, but sometimes). I am trying to get her to learn that I am not going to rush in the second she makes a peep in the morning. She does pretty well with this and actually has fallen back to sleep a couple times. I really think sleeping without her paci is still something she is getting used to and that she will eventually go back to her regular schedule. The look you see in the middle picture is pretty much the one we always see anymore. I don't know what it is but she will usually stick the frowning eyebrows in there with the stuck out lips right before she cracks a big smile. It's her new expression. Kezzie is doing great without the paci and sometimes doesn't even require giving it a kiss good night anymore! She still asks for it several times a day but usually when I tell her she doesn't need it because she is a big girl she doesn't bring it up again for a while. I have noticed she is becoming very attached to her blankie though (we still mostly only let her have it in bed). And I noticed she has found a new way of getting comfort out of it. Besides sniffing the taggies around the edges she now likes to stick the triangular shaped one up her nose and leave it there to sniff continuously (this just may fit under my 'quarks about Kezzie' category!). Kezzie is still doing well with potty, although there have been more accidents as I gradually let her take over the telling me when she needs to go. It typically happens when we are doing something fun and she doesn't want to take time to go to the bathroom. She is still saturating her diaper at night most nights so I think this part of it all is a long way off. Night time is when she drinks most of her water too so that will be our next habit to break!
Kezzie is very much into gathering things that belong together/match. She likes to stack things and make piles. Recently she has taken a new interest in her baby and stroller. She seems to stroll her baby everywhere in the house and frequently takes it out to give it 'tisses' (kisses) and 'ugs' (hugs).
Also, almost this whole month we have been trying to get rid of some type of yeast on Kezzie's face. She struggled with this 'rash' type thing for several weeks before we decided it wasn't going to get better on its own. After taking her to the doc she prescribed a simple diaper rash cream and finally after 2.5 weeks it is almost all gone!
Kezzie is doing AWSOME with colors. I didn't realize how much she was catching on to this but we talk about colors a lot. Upon picking her one skittle she gets for going potty Brian asked her which one she wanted and she said 'lellow' and grabbed for the yellow one. Also while eating Applebee's she was coloring with crayons and handed me each color while saying them (red, blue and yellow). I am amazed at how that girl learns!
Her favorite character is Elmo, without a doubt! She LOVES Elmo's world.
Kezzie has taken a huge interest in the alphabet and even though she can say hardly any of the letters, you can tell she is trying to sing the song. It's adorable. Same with numbers. She is getting better at saying numbers but mostly you can just tell she is numbering things off by the tone in her voice. She tries to count anything that is in a group. She is going to like numbers like her daddy!
Quarks about Kezzie: she is obsessed with cleaning her feet. If given a rag/wet wipe to wipe her face or hands she will immediately go for the toes and wash them (she still LOVES sniffing wet wipes, btw!). Kezzie is also obsessed with closing doors and gates behind her. Every time we head upstairs she has to close the gate behind her and when we reach the top, again she has to close the gate behind her. Same with the bathroom door when she is done going potty.
I know this post is really long but I don't want to forget a thing. I am sure I will add things over the next couple days as I am reminded of them!!
