Tomorrow is Feb 27th. Laura will be 17 months old. (Happy 7th birthday to cousin HUNTER!)
I went to look and see if I have any new pictures to post since the last post - and it appears I haven't taken a whole lot since then - and the ones I have taken are still sitting in the cameras. Oops.
What's Laura been doing? Keeping us busy! She is into everything, but she is also at a point where she sometimes enjoys playing alone and that means I have time to make dinner, do laundry, pick up etc... but then she goes along behind me and undoes a lot of what I'd done.
Some of her favorite activities at this point are:
*climbing down and then up the stairs
*sitting at the island coloring/eating/watching me make dinner
*her bath!
*dancing when music is on
*playing chase around the island and up and down the hallway
*sitting in the laundry basket waiting for someone to give her a ride
*giving hugs and kisses (and squeezes) to the cats
*giving hugs and kisses to mommy and daddy
*climbing onto anything - chairs, couches
She helps out around the house by:
*putting her shoes in the closet once they come off (she'll even open the door and then try to close it)
*helping empty the dishwasher... hands us things and even puts some stuff away.
*throwing her morning diaper in the trashbag
She is very good at following directions - at least when she wants to!
She is also very demanding of trying to get her way...what toddler isn't?
She's wearing size 5 huggies. Target brand diapers are terrible for anyone out there wondering - don't waste your money. She has to wear size 5 huggies overnight diapers at night now - drinks so much she wets through a regular diaper. She's even been overflowing her fuzzibunz so I've got to look into adding another soaker layer into them. Oh, still in medium fuzzibunz - that's 13 months in the same dipes!
Her love affair with shoes continues - she just enjoys holding her shoes and carrying them around even. Oh, and she's recently started putting a few of her play purses over her shoulder... can you say girly girl in training? uh-oh! I never was a girly girl - where is she learning this behavior!?
She still uses a bottle for milk. She uses a sippy cup for water. She has given up her pacifier... did that the week she was sick with the stomach bug.
Last weight check a couple weeks ago she was 24pounds and a few ounces.
She's in 24 month/2T clothes! Yikes! And I was hoping the 18 month clothes we had for the cruise would fit her this summer...maybe some will, but I know the dresses and some tops will be mighty short. She's still in her 5.5 shoes.
Her hair is getting long and curly! Long and whispy in the front to the point where she needs a barette, but she won't leave it alone. and then the curls are super cute across the back part :)
Oh, and she still only has 4 teeth!

Her and Colin are very similar! Especially in stats! Post pictures please!
Sounds like fun times in your household. I hope Carina is as much of a helper to me when she's a toddler as Laura is to you. :) Funny thing, though, Carina already has 4 teeth fully in and 2 more on the way. I know babies her age who have 6 or more fully. And I know some 3 months older who have fewer teeth. They'll come when they want to. :)
