TT - 21 Months

And the months keep passing by!



TT is a talking machine.  She asks for what she wants. . . which usually sound something like, Caillou? Mickey? Baby? Cracker? Juice? Milk? Mama? Baba?  Oh, and my personal favorite, "Sissy?"  Yes, she calls her big brother sissy!  He started calling her that, and she started calling him that.  Which beats what she used to call him. . . cock.  This girl LOVES her brother.  She doesn't like being apart from him ever. 

TT is possesive of me!  I am hers.  She'll be playing, and Nur will want to come sit on my lap, and she appears out of nowhere to force herself on my lap.  She is strong willed and determined.  And I'm constantly setting limits with this girl.  (And I think I will be for as long as I'm raising her)

TT is starting to do so much better with separating, and during our Saturday morning school, she barely cries for 5 seconds when I say see you later.  She's starting to be more social, and continues to adore older girls.  The other day, we were at our local park, and there was a girl playing their with her dad and siblings.  This girl was immediately drawn to TT, and would help her down the slide, and hold her hand while walking to the swing.  The girl didn't speak much english, but kept referring to TT as baby.  And TT was EATING up the attention. 

TT is big into dressing up and making wardrobe decisions for herself.  I'm trying to let her have fashion freedom, but man, this girl should not be allowed out of the house in some of her outfits.  Ha!

TT has started "sleeping in" until 5:30am, and this mama is enjoying the 30 minutes alone I get in the mornings.  I'm actually going to work looking put together.

TT has a great sense of humor.  She is always acting like a clown and making that brother of hers laugh.  She loves to laugh, and joke, and have fun.  She is really becoming a little girl!





Funny TT story.  While at my parent's house for Easter, I was "lucky" enough to share a bed with her.  She woke up in the middle of the night, rolled over, and said right to me, "chicken?"  Then she started giggling and fell back asleep. 

This girl will forever keep me on my toes!

Ohmygosh her Easter dress is awesome!!!

I'm wondering what happens when both children no longer fit on my lap? Haha!

Sooo gOod that she is playing with other children. Mine almost ignore other kids, which worries me a bit.

She's so adorable!

I'm cracking up at the chicken story! I just love hearing about her funny personality. It is amazing to me to hear about these sweet kids I've come to love in blogland and feel like I'm getting to "know" a bit of them! I say C is going to keep me on my toes always, such stinkers these little July girls!!! :) Love her navy dress and that cowboy hat outfit would do just fine here in Texas! ;)
