At 2 1/2 Libby still has the same routine for her days and nights. She loves school and learns more and more each day. She has a huge bank of songs that she likes to sing and frequently combines several songs into one (recently we heard a combination of Twinkle Twinkle, Away in the Manger, and ABC.
She loves reading books at night and remembers the words to the ones we read most often. She actually picks up the books, turn the pages and recites them fairly well!
She knows all of her colors and shapes and is recognizing letters. She can tell me how to spell her name, although she doesn't know what all of the letters are. She does know that her "real name" is Elizabeth Nelson Jones :)
She has become obsessed with our IPhones (just like the rest of the world), and can quite easily navigate them. Mostly she likes to watch music videos on them and for some reason the songs she likes the most are all Party/Drinking Country Songs - oh dear, we have to start watching what we listen to around her! Her favorite by far is "Pontoon," but she also likes "Drink in My Hand."
She's really into having "picnics" which means piling all of her blankets and stuffed animals and dolls in a pile on the floor and playing with them. The picnics don't usually involve food, although I wish this was a way to entice her to eat more!
She also may have an imaginary friend, Coco. We aren't sure what Coco is, but its definitely her favorite word and she uses it for everything.. "What's your baby's name?" "Coco". "What do you want to wear to school?" "Coco," etc. Can't wait 'til we crack this code!
Libby loves playing anything outside and going swimming and on bike rides. She is full of energy and plays really hard! She's still a very slight eater and only likes a handful of things. Most of all she likes candy! This is our fault for using candy so generously while potty training her - its time to get her off the addiction!
Libby hates getting dressed in the morning and getting her PJs on at night - its a battle every day. Even more, she hates getting her hair brushed and put up - too bad with her long, beautiful hair! She's pretty stubborn and knows exactly what she wants most of the time, but is also incredibly sweet, snuggly and loving!
Getting ready for her first ballet class - she could not have been more excited! We did get ballet shoes later, the whole thing is too cute!
Libby and Daddy heading to the Y to go swimming!
Libby's record-setting ponytail! I just love her beautiful, long hair!
Happy girl!
One of Libby's favorite activities is "cleaning the dishes" which really just involves playing with water and soap and making a mess, but she loves it!
