IT"S A GIRL!
So we found out back on December 7th, but I just never got around to updating the blog! Daddy wasn't able to make it to our ultrasound so I made him this box to open with KyKy when he got home.
Hoping to do another pregnancy update soon!

Ages and Stages: 29 Months!
Hi my darling littler girl! You are still the sweetest thing ever, no surprises there :). Lately you have been apologizing for lots of little things. You will say "I'm sorry" in the cutest little voice if you knock over some blocks or do something little. It melts my heart, and makes me feel a little bad since it's usually not anything you need to apologize for! But that doesn't mean you have stopped looking for ways to "make mommy nervous" as you like to say, or laugh and keep doing something sometimes when I say no. You still have your lively spirit that is for sure!
Another funny new phrase you have been saying a lot has been, "I smell something" or asking, "What do I smell" when there is something fragrant in the air. Most of the time, it has been when mommy is trying to sneak a chocolate kiss left over from your stocking hehe. But the other day at library time one of the little girls had used a very yummy smelling shampoo and you said "What do I smell Mommy? It's candy. I smell candy." Too freaking cute and funny.
You have learned to count and put up each corresponding finger on your hand, which you love to do anytime you want to count anything. You actually haven't been counting to far past 10 for the past few months. It has been harder to get you to concentrate on it, I think because your mind is more capable of deeper thought now and so you start to think about something else. You do a better job actually count things now though, like if there is something on the page of a book, rather than before when you would just count as high as you can as fast as you can.
You have of course loved to play pretend for a year now, but recently this has come to also include imaginary things. So before usually you would pretend to be someone or an animal or you would say we were someone or an animal, now you will pretend that someone is there when there isn't anything physical around. You will carry imaginary food or items and give them to us too. Or the other day you were pretending something and pretended to go over to the "Big Red Barn" which was the space near our fridge. You will also "move" things around on pictures in a book. For example one time you said that the person in the book was sad so you gave him something to cheer him up.
You are again trying to escape clothing whenever possible! You are also more vocal against sleeping lately saying things like "It's not nap time." or "It's not bed time. It's time to play, mommy will you play with me?". You don't get too mad about it (or at least usually), you are just more articulate where as before sometimes you would just be more whiny or cranky. You have been sleeping great though! Along the same lines, you will tell me to "say yes" sometimes when you ask me something now. Most recently it was when you asked to go to Memere and Papa's.
Also wanted to add that you have been doing extra well with the potty the last few days, and telling us on multiple occasions when you have to pee (not just poop). Although it's not uncommon that there is about an accident a day around here. I put you in pull ups at night (and they are typically wet when you wake up) and if we go somewhere, but usually you will keep them dry while we are out. You stray dry through nap most of the time so I usually don't put one on you then.
And the last thing I want to mention, just because I can see wondering when we started later, is that we started you on a daily vitamin this week per your daddy's request. We went with the flintstones toddler gummies as they passed my inspection of ingredients and have no artificial sweeteners or colors. The first day, you of course wanted more than the serving size of two, but the next day you were fine.
