Her most favorite activities lately have been the swing, slides, exploring outside, and bubbles, and of course her books. She loves her blocks as well, but mostly likes for a grown up to build something for her so she can knock it down and fling blocks everywhere. lol. :)

And I have to admit, She is kind of a TV addict i think. It started off small, but I fear I've created a monster...a tiny TV monster who runs around with the remote shouting "DORA!!" at me. lol. Before she could speak, she would just wave, which was her sign for "Ni Hao, Kai Lan," her other favorite show. So it's a constant battle to distract her from the TV basically. fun!

Maybe to make up for it, she's basically a self imposed vegetarian who will eat only fruit, veggies, cottage cheese, cheese, yogurt, oatmeal, veggie burgers and pasta. ok i lied, she will eat a smidge of chicken every once in a while, but rarely.

So overall we're doing great! She's sleeping great, still in our bed, is still breastfeeding like a champ and seems to be showing signs of potty training readiness (crosses fingers). So I guess we'll be attempting potty training soon, I'm sure I'll have a lot to blog about here in a week or two. :D
