Exactly two weeks from now this girl will turn two which means she is with us for almost two years, the most amazing years of my life. I still cannot believe it. I am happy and thankful, she is healthy and perfect. I couldn’t ask for more. Here’s the 23 months update.
At 23 months she has become a little girl and not a baby anymore. She knows what she wants and what she doesn’t want. She can choose the food that she will eat. She is not picky, but she doesn’t eat other fruits like she eat berries. She hates banana as well.
We are like glue to each other. She only sleeps at night if I am with her. Unlike when she was a baby, her father will sometimes put her to bed or nap and she just falls sleep like normal. Now that she knows who is who, she won’t sleep if it’s not with mama. So, we are like glued to each other. Stick together whenever, wherever! I love it, but sometimes I just want to have a “me” time. She still wakes up once or twice at night, and I wish to have a good rest sometimes.
It’s getting colder here. We do not play at the park anymore, just like we always did on summertime. It’s just so different when it’s cold and dark outside. We somehow read books and play during daytime. We go out only during mornings when running errands and buy our foods. Most of the time we are inside. Autumn seems not nice anymore during late October and November. Well, when winter comes, it’s a different story. It’s nice to play in the snow, so perhaps we will spend more time outside by then. For now, staying inside is fine. Making ourselves occupied by playing, or cooking together. Rianna is very interested in cooking. The only bad thing is that you have to watch her not to turn on the stove, otherwise the house will burn down. I tried to keep her busy while I am cooking, but sometimes she is so interested to watch me.
She is 23 months and one last photo before this project ends. I have fun doing this. Taking photos of her sitting on that same chair every month. I wanted to continue until she turns three, but it seems impossible to do so. She hates sitting on that chair while I snap photos of her. She doesn’t want to be mama’s model anymore. I am happy though, she participated until now. Even if I have to be very fast in taking photos. Someday, she will realize why I did this. This may not fun for her now, but someday she will understand. I am doing this for her. Someday she will have a book full of photos of special memories of her when she was little, and I know she will love it.
