January 2017

Dear Norah,



You're 23 months old. Next month you turn two! Here are a few highlights from this month:

  • You love "doing the dishes." You scoot one of the chairs from the kitchen table over to the sink and stand on it. I turn on the water to a little bit of a drizzle and you put the dishes under it, scrub them with the scrub brush, and fill cups with water and dump them out. You love this activity and do it almost daily (sometimes more than once a day). Let's hope you keep your love for dishes! :)
  • You still love yogurt. 
  • You sometimes call me "Mam-i-a" and Dad "Dad-i-a" or "Momio" and "Dadio," which is so cute.
  • You still dislike patching but you open the patch for me every time and you let me put it on your eye. You will tolerate it for 20-30 minutes but only if I distract you and entertain you. It's becoming more difficult. Today we sat on my bed and smelled all of my lotions and essential oils. 
  • You are saying more words. Your new ones are "boy," "anks" (for thanks) and "acker" (for cracker). 
  • You are doing so well learning your colors! You sign them when you see them. So cute!
  • On January 12th we found out we're having twins!! We were so surprised but excited. When I tell you there are babies in my tummy, you lift up my shirt and gesture "where?" with your hands. It's cute.
