23 Months Old!



Zuri will be turning 2 in 27 days!  These months and days seem to go so quickly, yet it seems like she has been part of our lives forever.  Of course we have tried to forget the long first months of crying/colic and remember the fun stuff.

Zuri is a lot of fun.  I think she has been a lot more rested and happier since she had her tonsils out.  I am sure she had sleep apnea which made her not sleep as well.  We wish she would start talking more.  I know she knows the words because she can point to, answer or go get what I say, but she still doesn't say much.  When she has something she wants me to take she says "Here you go."  It's clear to me, but Pedro is just starting to understand it.  She can say "Thank you" but doesn't say it all the time.  She has also added the word cracker as in "cracka".

She is very opinionated and knows what she wants.  At nap and bed time her favorite things are her little basketball and soccer ball along with her horse we bought her (black horse from the movie Brave).   She will ask for things that she wants for bed or tell me she doesn't want something.  Her naps are still here and there, some days no nap, but talks for hours, other days she sleeps for 3 hours.  I can't really figure out the differences.

Food wise she is randomly picky.  She will eat more when we go out to eat because it is leisure with all of us just sitting there.  Fruit is a favorite that she doesn't usually turn down.  The rest depends on the day.

Her favorite thing to do is play with my phone.  She loves the apps on it and can find and work all the things on it that are for her.  She plays with the ipad when I get her off my phone.  She likes puzzles on the ipad and can actually do a few of them.  She also really loves the videos on the ipad.  In the car and all the other times she plays with the leap pad, it has all of her favorite videos on it and she gets excited to watch them.  She probably watches or uses technology too much.  Her favorite TV/Videos are: Bubble Guppies, Dora, Little Einsteins, Jake and the Neverland Pirates, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and Clifford. She doesn't watch Spongebob much but when she see's it she thinks it is funny.

We went to the mall to walk for a bit and she loved all the lights and Christmas things.  We still need to go see Santa!



We had a fun day the other day and took her to the Children's Museum and then the Aquarium for lunch.  She had so much fun at both places.

Here are some pictures from the day!

Dad playing with her..

Driving the fire truck!

Of course she won't look at the camera...



Loving the "Newton" area with balls...

Trying the food out...


Pointing at the fish..

She basically followed the fish up and down the glass our entire meal.  She didn't even have a bite to eat!


Then back at home that evening she was having lots of fun.  She was loving her sunglasses and racing around the house.




We also put up our tree last week.  Zuri helped me and decided she liked to get wrapped up, she also decided that the ornaments were good for shooting on her hoop.

Here she is helping me with the tree.  The fence doesn't seem to help much at her age!


And here is my Bronco's girl!  Riding her bronco!
