Age: 24 months

Weight: 33 pounds
Nicknames:
Likes: Sesame Street, Dora, Strawberry Shortcake, and Disney movies, PlayDoh, dancing and singing, running outside, balloons, helping Mommy and Daddy do things, chocolate (like M&Ms), going to my new school.
Dislikes: Sitting still (especially in a restaurant, having to hold hands in a store but I will reluctantly do it, trying new foods.
Notes: I love to sing songs. My favorites are Old McDonald, Wheels on the Bus, Ring Around the Rosie, Rain Rain Go Away, Where is Thumbkin/Woody/Anyone, and ABCs. At my new school, I learned how to say a prayer before I eat. I count to twenty all the time, and I’m learning how to recognize how many objects are in a group. My favorite toys are my Buzz and Woody dolls, Plopper, puzzles, books, pretend play (like my kitchen and the train set). We’re still working on the potty stuff.

Nicknames: Stinky
Likes: Waffles and peanut butter, watering the plants, brushing my teeth, my CD of Elmo songs, going to the library, my new DVD player in Mommy’s car, yogurt drinks, getting fancy drinks in the mall and sitting on the bench to drink them.
Dislikes: Being dropped off at school, being told what to do or how to do it, changes in my schedule.
Notes: I know most of my colors, shapes (like circles, squares, rectangles, triangles, ovals, diamonds, hearts), a lot of my letters. I started going to school at The Learning Tree. I’ve pooped in the potty twice and am starting to get the hang of it. Mommy and Daddy have lost count of how many words I know…I surprise them all the time by naming things that they didn’t even know that I knew. I broke my right leg just below my kneecap in an unfortunate jumping-off-a-big-baseball-at-the-playground incident.

Nicknames:
Likes: Books, taking walks in the evening with Mommy and Daddy, turtles, feeding myself (no matter how messy it might be).
Dislikes: Not getting exactly what I want when I want it.
Notes: I’ve been developing a little bit of a ‘tude and like to stomp my feet or melt down when things don’t go exactly my way. I keep learning all kinds of words all the time…my vocabulary is getting so big. I also like to count, spell, and say the alphabet. I don’t exactly get the numbers or letters right all of the time, but I like to imitate the meter and enunciation.

Nicknames:
Likes: I LOVE being outsite. Mommy and Daddy take me to the park and to the school playground. Books and puzzles. I like by Baby Neptune video, but I have to have someone watch it with me because I’m scared of it.
Dislikes: Long car rides.
Notes: We took our first Family Vacation to Columbus, Indiana. I have a vocabulary that is growing everyday…up, whale (wheeele), ocean, mouse, Oh No!, ball, and many more. I’ve just begun to color and scribble a little. I’ve just started to learn how to throw a ball.

Nicknames: Big Baby Girl
Likes: Bananas, playing with my Legos,and being outside. I also like to try to go down my slide naked. Ouch!! Mommy helps me do summersaults, and playing with my daddy is really fun, too.
Dislikes: Kitty Food!!
Notes: I can say “yuck” when I see a worm. I can stack my blocks 4 high, I know what “night-night” means, and I go to Toddler Time at the Crawfordsville Library with Christy on Tuesdays. I know where my nose is, and sometimes I stick my finger up there. I’m a little more weary of new people. I’m beginning to show my “opinions” a more frequently by throwing tantrums. I am pretend playing a little, I scribbled for the first time on Mommy’s birthday, and I have started playing dress-up with Grandma French’s brachlets and bead necklaces. Medical Note: I have a baby hernia…it will probably fix itself as I grow up…no worries.
