-will no longer be breastfeeding. i assumed that you would drop your last feeding a long time ago, but there are no signs of this happening. you don't use your feeding to go to sleep and typically only eat for 5-10 minutes so i have decided that we are quitting on your second birthday. i am sad about this, but i am hoping it helps with your bedtime schedule and your independence. (you fussed for the first few days for about five minutes and no longer mention it as of 8/7)
-take one nap a day with Mommy and Sister from 1sh to 3ish.
-go to sleep anywhere from 9 to 11. you start to go to sleep and wake yourself up by kicking. i plan on starting to train you to get yourself to sleep sometime soon. (Auntie Ann started laying you down on her couch by yourself on 8/3. I hold you for a half an hour, and if you fall asleep in that time I take you to bed- this has happened once. After half an hour I take you to the crib and lay you down. You usually refuse to lay and sit up or lay on your belly with your head up until you get too tired. I do stay in the room to keep you from crawling out, but I try to ignore you for the most part. The first night you woke up two times in two hours. The second night you didn't wake up at all and were asleep in a half hour after you went to your crib. I bring you to bed with me right when Daddy's alarm goes off. 8/7)
-wear size 18 month pants. can wear size 18 month or 24 month shirts. you can wear a size 4 or size 5 in shoes (you only want to wear your purple jellies).
-love the color blue.
-are still a very good eater. you also are good with a spoon and fork and are much less messy than your Sister was/is. your favorite foods are: sherbet, noodles, suckers, strawberries, eggs (especially deviled), and pineapples.
-love your stuffed Toodie, Baby GoGo, and a grey kitten you took from Auntie Ann's house.
-LOVE shower time with Auntie Ann. you tell me that she makes you, "soapy, soapy" and that is "so much fun."
-are doing an okay job potty training. You can be dry the entire day and then be wet quite a few times the very next day. You also have to be taken very often (at least every hour and a half, sometimes every hour if you have been drinking a lot. you are almost always dry after nap time which is confusing. after bedtime is tackled i may work on underwear with you; I am not sure yet.)
-love DocMcStuffins, Poppy Cat, and Yo Gabba Gabba
-are still a Mommy's girl. you like certain people for certain things (shower with Ann, swinging with Uncle Nick) but want to be with me at all times.
-are so smart. your vocabulary is amazing, and you speak in complete sentences almost all of the time. you use "i" and most of your pronouns/tenses correctly. you do ask, "where (insert object) is?" instead of "where is it?"
-are our: Ruby D, Ruby D D, Ruby Dooby, Rue, Ruey, Sister, baby
Oh Ruby D D, how can you be two? These past two years have flown by. You make my life sillier, happier, louder, better every single day. I love you in the morning, I love you in the afternoon, I love in the evening, and in the afternoon. My baby you'll always be.
