22 months-2nd birthday!!

always such a mess!! 





my wild child- you always want to walk, not be held! and you certainly take your time- seeing it all, exploring. 


you have been such a great sleeper all your life! until now...now you say, "don't want to go to bed!" and then keep yelling for things out the door for so long until you finally crash. 

no pants on in this pic by the way... always naked. you always say "my booty hurts" or "i'm so itchy" and then take off your diaper... even when you have nothing wrong! 



you're still quite the cuddle bug! too busy now to cuddle often, but when you're tired...you're all mine <3


all the playdoh! all the crafts! you are always asking to do some activity. and then you thoughtfully engage in it for like 10 minutes before leaving me a giant mess- good thing you're so cute! 

the cutest! 

i love your smile so so much

k you love to read maybe even more than Johanna did at this age. you are always asking to read! and you have definite favorites! polar bear, polar bear. zebra on the go :)

making popcorn! you copy everything Anna does- so of course, you always want to help in the kitchen. you know how to bring your own chair over and are actually quite helpful when i give you easy chores. and popcorn is both of your FAVORITE snack! 


always naked ;) 





you wrote on the walls... a first for everything. 

you want to walk everywhere! 



you unplugged the deep freezer- we lost almost all the berries :( bummer! 

dinner in the bathtub! 

we had a chx with a bad leg and you didn't care much. but now its been weeks since it went back outside and you still ask to go see the sad chx- sweet baby! also, it is about the cutest thing when you put on your "fancy" skirt <3 <3







you LOVED the snow days we got! we spent a whole hour and you wanted more! 


you are such a happy girl. you love to adventure and explore and stay right close to mama. unless you can be close to ita, abuelo, grandma sandee, etc. and you are always very happy to go to your classes- Bible study and church nursery. you wish you could go to gymnastics and awana classes like your big sis. you are such a delight! you still take like 2 hour naps, so we are letting you stay up til 7ish with big sissy now and bedtime is such an ordeal- so much talking and shouting ;) you were almost potty trained, but then decided you weren't into it and we are back to full time diapers. all in due time. you looove dressing up and pretending that lotion is make-up... when Ita has on lipstick, you will run your finger on her lip and then rub it on your own. you just figured out lying- you want to watch tv on the ipad and ita tells you to ask mom and you just yell into the hallway and then run right back in and say "she said yes!". crazy lady! your daddy and i are just so so thankful for you! you bring more joy into our lives than we could ever have imagined. you make our lives so much better! we are thankful thankful thankful that the Lord gave you to us<3

extra fun :)

I know this is WAY too many photos just dumped in here all out of order with very little text or explanation or anything- I am sorry! I couldn't get my photos to upload to the computer for 4 months so i fell so far behind- I want to do better now, so I will do my best to write you every few weeks <3 I love you precious little girl! You bring me so much JOY and your personality is just shining through and you are amazing. I am so thankful I get to have you in my life!! Also, I know so many of these pics are with you and Johanna, but she is such a huge part of your life that it is hard not to include her- you love to match with her, you copy everything she does, you are almost always together...sisters <3






on the way to CA




oma Cory's neighborhood park- we went early so we wouldn't wake up everyone else when you goobers were up by 6am
