21 Months Old

It's time for Maryn's 21 month old update! I can't believe we have less than 3 months before she turns 2 years old!  Not too much has changed since her 18 month post.  She remains a very verbal, people-oriented little person.  She hasn't grown much (23.4 lbs last week) so she's still wearing size 18 month clothes.  Health-wise, we still haven't figured out her anemia, but I'll do a separate post on that soon.  She is learning new words and phrases constantly.  My favorites are "thanks!", "Maryn silly!", "hmm, let's see", "arm pits!" (she's a strange child),  and adding the word "too" to phrases like "Momma cereal too? Dadda outside too?" She has developed quite the maternal instinct lately.  She loves babies of friends - always bringing them their pacifier or giving them a kiss, and she also loves playing with her babies and dollhouse figures.  She is going to be a great big sister.  She loves her ABCs - she can recognize several letters, and she loves counting to 5.  She also loves serving us pretend food and tea - she mostly loves when we pretend we hate it and spit it out.  And she has just recently started playing more on her own and developing those pretending skills.  I'm pretty sure that we read every book she owns at least once each day.  She really loves it when the weather is warm enough to go outside.  We are looking forward to lots of outdoor activities once summer is here - zoo trips, baby pool and water table on the deck, walks, visits to the park, and lots of bubbles!   Of course we think she is the cutest, sweetest, smartest, funniest, most wonderful little person ever - every day becoming more and more of a big girl and less of a baby.  We are so thankful and blessed!
