Luci Update
Mostly because I haven't in so long. She's 31 pounds as of yesterday. I'm not sure how tall but I'm pretty sure she's grown a bit vertically as well. She's been eating and sleeping a lot more so I think she's gearing up for a growth spurt. She's still in a size 24m/2T pants and a 2T/3T top and size 7 shoes. She can wear 3T leggings and dresses and 4T jackets, but 3T jeans are too long. She's built like me with a long torso and short legs lol
Potty training is FINALLY going well. We went to run errands w/o accidents for two days now. She is usually dry first thing in the morning and is only having small accidents. She is also finally beginning to sleep completely through the night with no bouts of whining every three-four hours like before. She is sleeping in her bed in her room at night every night and only very occasionally comes to cuddle with me in the morning. She is definitely a second shift baby and it's so nice. She took a two hour nap at 6pm and went to bed an hour ahead of us at midnight. It's almost 10am now and she is still sound asleep :)
Her vocabulary and sentence structure has improved drastically these last few months and aside from a word or two here and there, most people understand her perfectly as long as she isn't being weird or silly with her voice like she often does. She is still signing pretty often and her mind is a sponge. She will remember everything you tell her, even if she tries to play one parent against the other or twist your words around. I think she might grow up to be a fine lawyer hehehe
Her imagination is just running wild(the Umizoomis are still following us around, along with Super Why) and every day she transforms herself into a menagerie of animals. Her favorite seems to be a kitty cat and she will often meow at me to feed her; "I'm hungry meow. Feed me please meow." She adores dressing up and being a princess and coloring is still a favorite pastime. She finally loves the swings at the playground and has gone from being scared to death of them to ONLY wanting to swing. All day. It's quite tiring. However, she says some really funny things when she's swinging like "Luci in the sky!" and "I'm driving, look out for me!"
Her tastes are still weird. She loves to "cook" and will dip fries in mayonaise mixed with brown sugar and tear up pieces of pickles to put in her cottage cheese but I'd rather that than a picky child. She will basically try anything once and I can't think of a food she will not ever eat. Of course, getting her TO eat is frequently a problem as she doesn't seem to be interested in food nine times out of ten, but that has been improving lately as well.
She loves to be read to and try to read and has no problem spotting most letters most times. She knows all of her basic colors (and has for over a year) and is starting to pick up on the less used ones like magenta and burnt sienna. She wants to know about everything all the time and everything is a learning experience. She already knows over half of what she needs to learn in kindergarten so we are still pretty firm in our decision to homeschool her.
