22 months

I can't believe that Carlyle is 22 months old today. And I really can't believe that in two short months she will be turning 2!! She is definitely not a baby anymore and we have already had a few previews of "The Terrible Twos". Carlyle has developed a sense of independence, which is not always a good thing. Especially when it comes to meal time. She insists on eating her yogurt and applesauce all by herself, which usually means it ends up dumped on her tray. She then proceeds to rub her hands all in it and then put her hands all in her hair. Needless to say, bathtime usually follows those meals:) She is talking up a storm and repeating everything and anything. She has just started saying thank you and it's so cute! She will now say it without me prompting her. When I give her something she will say ,"Tank you mommy". Oh...melt my heart!!! Love that girl:)



Just in the last couple of weeks, Carlyle has learned how to crawl up onto the sofa, ottoman and Camden and Claire's beds. She thinks she is so big now, but it scares me to death. I just know she's going to end up, head first, on the hard floor. Oh well, I guess she'll learn. And, she thinks it's so funny to walk around the house backwards. She'll start doing it and when she sees me, she just laughs. You can't help but laugh with her.




Sweet girl still loves her paci at bedtime and instead of one blanket, she has to have at least 2 of the 3, if not all 3. She is so funny. And, believe me, she knows the difference between blankets. If you try to give her one that's not "one of the three", she will throw it back at you. She loves her minky lovies and still loves her crib! She hasn't tried to climb out yet, but then again, neither did her sisters. Camden stayed in her crib until right before her 3rd birthday. Who knows...Carlyle may still be in her crib when she starts Kindergarten. Just kidding! Carlyle, we love you so much and are so blessed that you are a part of our family!
