Oh my sweet sweet baby girl is getting closer and closer to age 2... and I truly cannot believe it! She has transitioned so well from being the only child to being the extremely helpful big sister. Since Ashton has arrived she has gotten 4 of her molar teeth, 2 of them came in the 1st week he was born. We thought she was simply acting out because he was here... but after 2 appointments to the doctors worried about her screaming tantrums in the night, he assured us that it was her teeth and informed us that she'd be getting a whole bunch very fast... and she did. She is definitely back to her sweet self again.Things Caitlyn Loves:
Jumping (she like a little pony... galloping everywhere she goes).
watering the plants and flowers outside.
water in general
helping change Ashton's diaper.
giving him the pacifier and telling him to 'sh' when he's crying.
to tell mom and dad to 'sh' when Ashton is sleeping.
to count to three (in her own baby language) and then jump up and land on her bum.
cereal for breakfast and drinking all the milk out of the bowl.
to visit gram & Pap's and Babcia & Dziadzia's house.
the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse
the Hot Dog dance
actually any dancing
giving kisses (especially eskimo and butterfly ones)
the park...especially the swing
having Dziadzia paint her finger and toenails
kicking a ball
using the adult toilet and her new pull-ups
the darn pacifier
her baby dolls... I think she has even tried to nurse one :)
my candy drawer (which has since been moved and restocked with healthy treats).
She can sign 24 words
(Milk, pop, water, mom, dad, work, hi & bye, cold, more, up, airplane, bird, squirrell, elephant, monkey, fish, hungry, please, tired, sh or quiet, dog, motorcycle, I love you, and beautiful)

She can speak 15 words
(Ash, Mom, Dad, hot, ow, uh-oh, no, off, P.U. hi, hello, Ashton, bubbles, go, what's that, and Vicki heard her say Clifford when they were watching Clifford the Big Red Dog)

I'm sure there are a ton of more things that she loves at 22 months, but this a pretty good list!
One of my absolute favorite things about her right now is that she has gotten so affectionate. She loves to run up to me wrap her right arm around my neck and kiss me on the cheek (even when I don't ask), then her hand slides down my neck onto my back where she'll either pat or rub... it's melts my heart everytime!
Happy 22 Months of life!

What a sweet post! It all sounds very familiar, too :) These little girls are getting way too big!!
love the nails and sunglasses!
The Caitlyn is getting to be my pale more and more everyday. She even gives me hugs now and falls asleep on me. Love every minute of it and it reminds me of when you all were little.
I love the sunglasses, too cute. Wow I can't believe she's almost 2, crazy how fast it all goes by!
Is she 2 or 22? She looks so grown up with the glasses and pretty nails! :) Love you, Cait!
