20 Months

Mary Ella one year ago at 8 months. Now I'm 20 months!






And here's my delicate flower with 2 sticks in her hand!

Mary Ella,

I can hardly believe we will be celebrating your 2nd birthday in just 4 short months! You bring joy to everyone around you, and we are having more fun than ever. Happy 20 months baby girl! Here's what you've been up to:



  • Fruit snacks are your favorite food right now. You would eat a whole box if I let you! You feed yourself everything now. You get mad if we even try to help you.


  • New words: bubble, Bible, snack, snake, bird, cupcake, cookie, goodbye, stop, berry, apple, mine, Reese, hop, remote (Dada), knee, elbow, boo boo, hot dog, wash, hippo, Birch, water (wawa), home, bee, puppy


  • You are beginning to put words together like "night night Mama," "Mama, Dada cheese," and Daddy gets you to say, "I love you, Dada." It is so sweet!


  • You love to chase and be chased all over the house.


  • Your new favorite toy is your Mickey Mouse push/ride toy. Trey brought it to you, which is so special because he only recently stopped riding it. Ha!


  • You love to sing and dance. I tell you to sing a song, and you make up your own tune and then clap and cheer for yourself.


  • You love shoes! While I take my shower, you are content playing in my closet and trying on shoes. And it's amazing that you get them on the right feet and can walk!


  • You have gotten lots of bumps and bruises this month. You followed Audrey halfway up the stairs and then rolled down, which resulted in a bruise on your cheek and forehead. And you fell and scraped your knee in the driveway. You still say "boo, boo, ow ow" and point to it.


  • You talk pretty much all day long. You wake up talking and pointing to stuff you can say. And if you're not talking, you're running, jumping, or twirling.


  • You are a busy, busy bee, and we love trying to keep up with you!
