Margot Month

In honor of Margot Month, I thought I'd post some pictures of our young lady.

 

 She is a very busy girl these days. Running, climbing (which she insists on doing independently), carrying things around, and generally exploring everything around her.

At 20 months, it's very important that she do things herself and on her terms. She will tell you when she wants to be carried and when she wants to go outside, inside, upstairs, wherever...

 She will also tell you when she wants to eat and exactly WHAT she wants to eat. We have her fooled into thinking that the squeezable food pouches are a treat so she gets excited about 4 bean medley, quinoa, greek yogurt, spinach and squah mixtures.

  She loves pulling out books and settling into a lap for some reading. She does lots of pointing, imitates sounds of animals, and can sometimes anticipate what comes next in a story.

Waking up from her nap is her toughest time of day, around 3:30-4:00pm. She needs to ease back into activities at her own pace and LOVES to snuggle when she first gets up.

When Lock and Holly came over, she showed off her teeth brushing (or rather toothpaste eating) skills.

Her new bedroom is on the main floor and has windows that look onto the deck. As we were sitting outside with our friends, she thought it was hilarious to watch us from her crib.

 

 A new park opened up in our neighborhood which has been wonderful. Poor Margot has the fanatical mom who fully clothes her to play in the water. I promise I will draw the line at WholesomeWear. 

 Our girl has been interested in the potty lately and charmingly announces the events taking place in her diaper on a regular basis. Maybe we'll start thinking about potty training?

 I found this pic the other day and couldn't believe how little she was! She was about 12 weeks here. Time flies!
