Wow March is already here I can't believe but that also means several things. First Ailise is already 14 months old, that is so hard to believe it feels like just a few months ago I was dreading this month because it meant I had to go back to work and now its already a year later. Wow time sure has went by fast. Second, March means that hopefully Spring and warmer weather is just around the corner (we can at least hope). Third it is the best time of year in college basketball with the NCAA Tournament.
This past month has been a very busy month and also a very active month for our precious little princess.
This past month we celebrated valentine's day, attended a family baby shower, got a glimpse of Spring and go to enjoy the outdoor a few days, spent hours at the doctors office and got tubes put in Ailise's ears.
Here is a 14 month picture of our princess before we get into what all she has been up to and into.
Ailise has many new tricks and like always when I sit down finally to write them all out it never fails I always forget some them.
Stats
When she had her tubes but in she weighted 26 lbs but they did take her length.'
She is wearing mostly 18 month clothes now. Some pants she wears a 12 month especially for the length.
She is wearing a 4 diaper
She is finally in a 4 or 5 shoe depending on the brand and how they run.
** Sleeping has still not been a strong point in our daily routine. She has few nights in a row that she will sleep really good then she may go a week or more and not hardly sleep at all even at night. We thought the tubes were going to fix that problem but its been over a week now and I don't think that is going to fix it.
**Some days she eats really good and other days it feels like she barely eats anything at all. But as you can see from her stats she not going hungry. You can also tell by her little belly that she is not missing out as far as eatting goes. She went through a phase a few weeks ago where the only thing that she would eat for dinner the Gerber Graduate ravioli meals. We felt bad feeding her pasta every night but that was the only this she would eat.
** Bath time is a very fun and entertaining adventure each evening. She loves the bath and loves to play with all her bath toys but she is so active that she wont even sit down and play in the bath she plays standing up and if she sits down its usually just to splash. Whenever I tell her its time for her bath she will go in the bathroom and after i start her water she starts trying to take her pants off but she cant yet. But there is one thing she can take off all by herself...her diaper. But the bad thing about that is she will try to take it off anytime she can get her hands on the tabs, when you are changing her diaper or getting the tub its fine but when you are just trying to change her close or get her clothes back on after a diaper change it can be a trying time.
Ailise loves music still. She dances all the time it so funny to watch her dance. She especially loves the ET by Katie Perry it doesn't matter where is in the house if that song comes on the computer she will walk as fast as she can into the computer room and start dancing. But the funniest is when there is a slower break in the song she just freezes in place and waits for the beat to big back up.
She loves to read now, she will bring a book a say ead and I have to read 3 or 4 books sometimes before she moves on to something else. She especially loves to read all of here Seasame Street books especially if they have Elmo.
Ailise now says emo for Elmo and she can pick him out in anything that you show here. She can also pick out big bird and cookie monster, who she calls cookie. She has the chatter Elmo that she got for Christmas and the chatter cookie monster that we got her a few weeks ago and she loves them both. If we ask her were is Elmo or where is cookie monster or monkey she will o in her room get whichever one e asked for and bring it back to.
Ailise is starting to learn how to pick up things that she has been playing with and put them back. Sometimes she does not get things back in right but at least she tries. She also likes to throw things away in the trash can. If we give her something and ask her to throw it a away she will walk to the trash can throw it away then look in the trash at it then close the lid to the trash can. After she closes the lid even if she didn't throw anything away she will turn around and clap and want your to say yeah. She also know what she is suppose to do to fix her Berber graduate meals because she will get on out of the cabinet and take the paper off fit and throw the paper in the trash, then she will bring us the ravioli bowl and point to the microwave so I will pick her up and she will try to open the microwave then put her bowl in and close the door.
You can ask Ailise where here toes are and she will point them. She also know where her tongue is and her nose. I think that she learned these from reading the sesame street book eye and ears fingers and toes. It is so cute. Even if you tell to be careful with something she is playing and don't drop it on your toe she will put down what she is playing with a point to her toes.
Words that Ailise is now saying new are emo (Elmo), monmon (monkey), nigh nigh (night night).
We are not only walking now Ailise is now walking backwards, sideways and turning I'm circles. It is o funny to watch all of this. She has always pushed her dinosaur ride on toy but on day she just started walking backward also. She is pretty good at she can't go very fast but she can go for a good distance. When she turns in circles she keep one foot still and uses the other one to turn herself she will go around twice and stop do something else for minute then spin again she will do this 4 or 5 times before she falls down.
The cat at wade's mom and dads house is longer safe from her. She will try to pet him now and she will grab his tale and chase around.
We now have 4 teeth and a fifth one is just breaking thru the skin. She does not seem to be having as much trouble with this new one as she with her top front two teeth. Thank goodness she had a rough week or so getting both of those in at the same time last month.
