Clara's 23-month survey!

Monthly Survey

1. How old? 23 months!
2. Doctor’s appointments?: November 7, 2012
3. Stats:
1. Weight: 30.4lbs
2. Height: 35.5 inches
3. Clothes size: 2T and 3T depending on brands. Shoes are 8.
4. Diaper size: Still in 6’s.
5. Hair color: Blond and getting long and thick!
6. Anything else?
4. Milestones:
1. Teething: Still no 2-year molars! Guess they’re going to hang out until the bitter end.
2. Talking: Full sentences at this point…minus some connecting words, but you really get the idea. She has also been correcting mispronunciations (things she had been saying incorrectly she is now saying correctly).
1. New words: I can’t keep track anymore. She’s probably up over 200 words and she’s a parrot so anything she hears she’ll repeat.
3. Anything else? She can really remember and recall things. She helped Grandpa feed the birds at their house one day and now she asks to do it all the time! She can recognize lots of different animals. She also knows to ask for help if she can’t do something. Her imagination is starting to develop. She’s will pretend things are other things (like a clothespin is an airplane, etc).
5. Things she likes:
1. Toys: Her play kitchen at Mimi’s, her Weeble house, and her Zoo. She has also gotten her shopping cart out and has been playing with that lately.
2. Books: 8 Little Monkeys and Polar Bear Polar Bear What Do You Hear?
3. Songs: She sings all kinds of songs! Old McDonald, Baa Baa Black Sheep (she even corrected Daddy when he sang it differently), Twinkle Twinkle, the Alphabet Song, Itsy Bitsy Spider, Row Row Row Your Boat.
4. TV Shows/Movies: Still into Elmo and LeapFrog.
5. Other Activities: She likes coloring. Mimi has a play kitchen at their house that Clara has been really into lately. She has also been trying to sweep our floor! Oh, and yelling at Scooter. ☺
6. Things she dislikes: She’s been pretty happy as of late and there isn’t much she doesn’t like.
7. Sleeping: She’s been a pretty good sleeper lately. She has a bit of a cold right now and sometimes will wake up in the middle of the night because she’s stuffy, but other than that it’s been ok.
8. Eating:
1. Favorite Foods: Chicken nuggets, macaroni & cheese, fries and PIZZA. She loves pizza lately.
2. Not so Favorites: Can’t really think of anything right now.
9. Nicknames: Parrot. ☺
10. Things we’re looking forward to next month: Not much going on in October. It’s Auntie Jessica’s birthday, but I work the opposite weekends from her so I’m not sure that I’ll be attending the festivities. But the kids and Adam may go without me.
