What Sweet Pea is doing..




Sweet Pea is 2.5 years old now!

He has 6 scripture memorized...although this last one might have set the limit or he just really likes it. His newest one "With God all things are possible" he is now adding that to all this scriptures. For example "God created all things Revelation 4:11" he use to say it exactly like that. Now he says "God created all things with God are possible Revelation 4:11" it is kinda funny because I try so hard to explain they are two different verses and he thinks it is funny so he keeps on.

He can pick out the state of Texas on a map, point to all the continents correctly on his map....wait except Antarctica, He knows his first and last name...sounds funny hearing him say his last name, he can tell you the city and state to where he lives, he knows how old he is, how old Cupcake is, Her name, my name, daddy's name, count to 21 by himself and thirty with help, pick out several letters in the alphabet as we see them during the day, loves and requests to watch, basketball and football with daddy, is completely pee pee potty trained, only has mistakes if he is starting the number 2 process...typically that happens maybe ounce a week. I have been assured this is normal and he is progressing great. I tend to freak out when we go someplace new and ask him every 10 minutes. However, he is in the habit now of telling me when he has to go at the store. When he uses the training potty and I am not in the room he picks up the training pan and pours it into the potty! He cleans up after himself and tries to wash his own hands! I am so thankful it was such an easy process and to have him trained before 3 works for me.

Happy First Birthday

Cupcake had a wonderful birthday with all her friends. She had fun opening her wonderful gifts. Definitely not interested in getting cake all over herself. A few times she went mouth first, but still not much of a mess. We are sleeping through the night, but still waking mommy up when she stirs every night around 2am. We can not believe she is already one and now we have a 1 and 2 year old - crazy!


Her teachers describe her as extremely happy and a crowd stopper. According to her teachers people walk by and have to come back by to get a better look. She stops 'em with her contagious smile and great fashion.

What I am doing now:

I come and sit when told - most of the time

I can give high fives

Wave

Clap

"Bee, Bee" - Bye Bye

Slide down the big slide all by myself at the park

mama

dada

walk - at 8.5 months like big bro

daw - dog

and I know that "B" follows A. Nana says that while she was watching the kids Cupcake said "A,B,C" I have been trying to hear this but whenever I say "A" she says "B" - so I guess she is on her way!

Now we work on words daily. She points to everything and watches me say words. While Sweet Pea was counting today she repeated eight several times..it came out "eigh". It was like she woke up on Sunday and said, " oh I'm one time to start talking." Now she babbles a ton, like she is having a full conversation...it is funny to hear.
