[24] AKA 2 June

Diapers: just cloth at night and naps (she had been dry during naps, but seems not to care anymore...)

Clothes:  24 months and 2T

Growing Up:  June finished up her canines, so we only have molars left. They cannot come in soon enough! She loves to climb up on the horse, but still insists on help getting down (but she can do it herself). June was away from momma for a whole night, but managed just fine (whew!). She still loves her mommy milk though. She is saying more and more words, but doesn't really use them much. Some of her new words are: push, back, eye, love you, potty, nose, moo. I am sure there are more, but that's all I can think of right now.

Likes:  eating, wearing bows, coloring, sweeping, reading, mommy, bouncing/jumping, swinging, getting dizzy, doing whatever Coop does, seeing daddy come home from work, playing chase, being scared, being outside, AIRPLANES (she can find the smallest ones in the sky. And if she hears one she will run all around to try to see it), washing her hands, bath time with cooper, taking a shower, picking out her clothes, drawing with chalk, finding bellybuttons and chins, throwing things in the trash can, getting shocked from static, brushing her teeth, hiding, covering her eyes so we can't see her, riding the tricycle, helping mommy put away groceries

Dislikes: being overtired, getting teeth, "no", being hangry, having something taken away from her, when she doesn't get what she wants when she wants it, having dirty hands (she has to have a napkin at all meals), not being pushed high enough in the swing

[23] June

Diapers: just cloth at night

Clothes:  24 months and some 2T

Growing Up:  June got 2 teeth this month (canines). We are nearly done with that, thank goodness! She is starting to say more words and jabber more, but still doesn't talk much. She loves to copy Cooper and insists on putting her fork/spoon in the dishwasher and her milk in the fridge. She has figured out how to get up on the horse, but won't do it when mommy is around. She is our little wild child, and loves jump and bounce wherever she can, but especially her crib. In the dark.

And if she hears one she will run all around to try to see it), washing her hands, bath time with cooper, taking a shower, picking out her clothes, drawing with chalk, finding bellybuttons, throwing things in the trash can, getting shocked from static, brushing her teeth, hiding, covering her eyes so we can't see her, riding the tricycle,

Dislikes: being overtired, getting teeth, "no", being hangry, having something taken away from her, when she doesn't get what she wants when she wants it, when she has on clothes that don't allow her to find her bellybutton, having dirty hands (she has to have a napkin at all meals)

[22] June

Diapers: just cloth at night

Clothes:  24 months and some 2T

Growing Up:  June is mostly potty trained! She took to it pretty quickly- it is mostly us making sure she goes every so often, but she has started telling us when she needs to go. By 'telling' I sure don't mean she uses words though. Those are still few and far between, but she runs to the bathroom and/or pulls on her clothes while grunting. She has gotten one very important word this month- Batman.

[21] months June

Diapers: size 4 + cloth

Clothes:  squeezing in some 18 months, but mainly 24 months

Growing Up:  June loves when daddy comes home and runs to the door. She tolerates most people pretty well these days (sorry Uncle Davy!) and had such a good time during all our holiday travels. She occasionally and completely out of the blue will say a sentence ("I not done." "I want my snack."), but she usually just grunts and points to get her point across. When we play hide and seek she loves to imitate us counting and usually gives away where the person hiding is.  When she wants a clean diaper, she will go get one and bring it to us (potty training started today- we will see how it goes). And she will bring us her boots and coat when she wants to go outside. June has decided she is a big girl and goes down the stairs like grown ups most of the time now. She also got an upper canine and is working on the others. 

Likes:  wearing bows, coloring, reading, mommy, bouncing, swinging, getting dizzy, doing whatever Coop does, seeing daddy come home from work, playing chase, being scared, climbing up and down stairs, being outside, handing things to you, putting a toy in and out of something (bag, box, etc), bringing you a book to read and sitting in your lap, bedtime book with daddy, pointing at animals or pictures of animals, AIRPLANES (she can find the smallest ones in the sky. And if she hears one she will run all around to try to see it), washing her hands, bath time with cooper, drawing with chalk, finding bellybuttons, throwing things in the trash can

Dislikes: being overtired, being still, getting teeth, "no", being hangry, having something taken away from her, not being able to get into the garage from outside, when she can't have everyone else's roll after she finishes hers, when she doesn't get what she wants when she wants it, when she has on clothes that don't allow her to find her bellybutton, having dirty hands

[20] months June

Diapers: size 4 + cloth

Clothes:  squeezing in some 18 months, but mainly 24 months

Growing Up:  June says "here go" when she hands you something. She says "no" very clearly and emphatically. She says lots of things now, but we haven't made sense of most of it. She refused a picture with Santa at Coop's preschool Christmas program. She is loving all things Christmas, especially the musical decorations and chocolate advent calendar.

And if she hears one she will run all around to try to see it), washing her hands, bath time with cooper, going outside, drawing with chalk, finding bellybuttons, doing what cooper does when he does it, having the gas logs on, big leaf piles

June stayed with Nana and Papa (at home) so J and I could go to his work Chrismtas party. It was my first time leaving her at bedtime. She did great (probably better than mommy), and even slept all night!

[19] months June

Little poser :)

Diapers: size 4 + cloth

Clothes:  18 months & 24 months

Growing Up:  June has all her one year molars now! She is so much better about mommy leaving and has even made it through Bible class without crying! June has started saying "thank you" and "nana". Nana can refer to the person or a banana. :) She has shown some interest in the potty and has pottied on it a couple of times. We aren't pushing it for now- just leaving the little potties in the bathrooms.

[18] months June

Diapers: size 4 + cloth

Clothes:  18 months & 24 months

Growing Up:  June has starting saying a few words! Bye bye, night night, all done, and yeah are the ones we have been able to decipher. She says some other things that we haven't quite figured out yet.  She will imitate two words phrases that we ask her to "yes ma'am, love you."  June got another bottom tooth this month and is working on her bottom molars.  She is doing much better with a fork and spoon, but prefers mommy to fix it for her.

[17] months June

Happy 17 months Junebug!

Diapers: size 3 & 4 + cloth

Clothes:  12-18 months, 18 months

Growing Up:  She still isn't saying anything besides momma and the occasional daddy. We feel like she is really close to saying some words, and maybe she is! We might not have caught on just yet Sometimes we think we hear her say something, but she won't ever repeat it for us. She does sign please consistently now, so at least she is polite when making her demands. June got a bottom tooth this month and both upper molars. She likes to try to use her fork, but mainly just likes for us to get something on it for her. She is more than happy to put a full fork in her mouth. Cooper taught her how to act like a gorilla, so she will run around beating her chest and yelling. It's so cute! She has also gotten pretty good with the shape sorter. And the big thing (in my opinion) is that she is now consistently sleeping all night. She usually sleeps from 7:15 until 6:30-7:00. I feel like a new person!

Likes: mommy (I'm not sure why I am just not putting this here. It should have been here from day 1), ROLLS (mainly mommy's), playing in Cooper's chair, the sand box, bouncing, swinging for short periods of time, seeing daddy come home from work, climbing up and down stairs,  finding mommy in a room, playing peek a boo, playing chase, being held while the holder is standing up, being outside, handing things to you, putting a toy in and out of something (bag, box, etc), biting noses and toes, bringing you a book to read and sitting in your lap, bedtime book with daddy, knocking over towers, waving, walking around carrying her jammies or sleep sack, cantaloupe & watermelon, throwing balls, coloring, point at animals or pictures of animals

Dislikes: being overtired, being still, getting teeth, "no", being hangry, having something taken away from her, not being able to get into the garage from outside, mommy leaving her, when she can't have everyone else's roll after she finishes hers, people other than mommy (most of the time :( ), the hair on the horsie

[16] months June

Diapers: size 3 & 4 + cloth

Clothes:  12-18 months & 18 months

Growing Up:  June continues to love to climb and has figured out how to climb our ladder and go down the slide by herself. It is one of her favorite things to do. She has learned to sign 'please' but is not very consistent with it yet. June knows to blow on her food if it's hot and sometimes does it even when it's not. She loves playing chase and being scared. She can point to your nose, but not hers. She also knows where her tongue is and isn't afraid to show you.  She loves to get into the pantry and dump out chips and scatter things across the house. June is also very good at taking things up and down the stairs. She loves throwing things away- even if they aren't trash and is very proud of herself when she does it.

[15] months June

Diapers: size 3

Clothes:  12-18 months & 18 months

Growing Up:  June is our little climber. She has figured out how to climb the neighbor's ladder and go down the slide. She whines to go over there! I guess it's better than ours. She has also figured out how to go down (the stairs, ladders, off the coffee table), but is not a fan. June also gives kisses on command now. She has also started hugging, and it is just the sweetest! She also says "dada" now. She doesn't ask for him (only momma), but when she sees him she says it.

She was so wiggly, I was lucky to get a clear picture at all!

Diapers: size 3

Clothes:  12-18 months & 18 months

Growing Up:  What a month this has been! She is fully walking and almost running now! She just up and decided she was going to walk one day about 3 weeks ago. And she hasn't looked back! She is also turning into a climber. She has figured out how to climb onto the ottoman to get on the couch or coffee table. She pretty much tries to climb anything she sees. She even climbed up into the bouncy house at a birthday party!  She got another top tooth this month, bringing our total to 6.   And she can say "momma!"  She babbles constantly, so I'm sure we will get some more words soon.  She can also sign book and milk now.

June had been sleeping all night, but now has been waking up once
a night. She doesn't always nurse, but she needs to see momma.

We are off reflux medicine, and it seems to be going well.

[13] months June

Diapers: size 3

Clothes:   12 months and 12-18 months. We are slowly having to put up 12 months, so we will be in 18 months soon!

Growing Up:  June knows how to go down stairs now. She can go from the living room into the sunroom, but we haven't let her try going down the big stairs yet. June also has figured out how to stand up! She is taking several steps once she's up (up to 12), but still prefers crawling since it's faster (for now). She also learned her first signs- more and all done! June also got three top teeth this month and is working on another. She is trying to climb anything and everything. She has figured out how to climb her little slide (but not go down the slide) and can get up into Cooper's chairs.

I don't know what her deal is about the dishwasher, but anytime she hears it opening or closing, she makes a mad dash for it. 

Dislikes: mommy leaving the room, having her diaper changed, being overtired, being still, getting teeth, "no"

We ended up back on reflux medicine. We will try to go without again another time.

[12] months June

Our sweet June Bug is ONE!

Diapers: size 3

Clothes:   12 months and 12-18 months. Once we run out of disposable diapers and are back in cloth, I bet onesies will have to be 18 months,

Growing Up:  June has figured out stairs and easily climbs from the sunroom to the living room.  She made it up three stairs on the big staircase before we caught her! June can cruise back and forth on the couches, coffee table, etc. She can't quite get to standing by herself (she has done it once, but she hasn't really figured it out), and needs something at least 2-3 inches to push off of. She has taken a couple of steps once she is standing, as she is really good at balancing once she is up. She gracefully sat down each time she tried to take a step. She also started babbling! Her consonant of  choice is 'g'. She says Ah-GEE, Ah-Ga, and gaga, goo, etc. She also waves hi and bye. It's precious.

Likes: walking while holding onto someone's fingers, pulling ALLLL the wipes out, watching big brother, finding mommy in a room, crawling, peeking around corners, smiling, being thrown in the air, playing peek a boo, watching people in general, getting into all of Coop's toys, pulling all her toys out of the basket, pulling up on anything and everything, the magnets on the fridge, pulling books off her shelf, standing up, clicking her tongue and smacking her lips, being outside, making her squishy face, climbing into the living room from the sunroom, digging in mommy's plants, biting noses and toes, THE DISHWASHER. I don't know what her deal is about the dishwasher, but anytime she hears it opening or closing, she makes a mad dash for it. 

Dislikes: mommy leaving the room, having her diaper changed, being overtired, being still, getting teeth, having her nose wiped.

Height: 28.75" (2" shorter than Cooper)

Head: 44.25 cm (about the same as Cooper)

The doctor gave us the go ahead to STOP our reflux medicine. I am hoping this goes well. I have been eating dairy in moderation, and that seems to be fine. I will probably let her same some soon! And she can now drink almond milk!

[11] months June

Oh man! In a month, we will have a ONE year old. Our sweet June is getting so big! She is so loved!

Diapers: size 3

Clothes:   6-12 months, and 9 months, 12 months- we don't have many long sleeve 12 months, so we are still squeezing into 9 months. After this cold snap, I'll probably have to put the smaller clothes away.

Growing Up:  June  crawls on all fours all the time and tries to stand up without holding anything. She can pull up on pretty much anything, even flat surfaces (walls, the fridge, etc). She has learned to clap and crawl UP and OVER things. She can easily crawl over whatever she wants and has been able to crawl up on the hearth; we are keeping her away from the stairs! She does really well standing up and can move small distances while holding onto something (cruising). June also started clapping this month, and it is SO cute! She started playing peek a boo with us while she covers her face.

Likes: standing up while holding someone's fingers/leaning on something, crinkly noises (especially wipe bags), pulling ALLLL the wipes out, watching big brother, finding mommy in a room, crawling, peeking around corners, smiling, being thrown in the air, playing peek a boo, watching people in general, getting into all of Coop's toys, pulling all her toys out of the basket, pulling up on anything and everything, pulling books off her shelf, trying to stand up, clicking her tongue and smacking her lips, being outside, making her squishy face, THE DISHWASHER. I don't know what her deal is about the dishwasher, but anytime she hears it opening or closing, she makes a mad dash for it.

I am eating more dairy (as long as I remember to give the medicine to her)! Cheese still bothers her, but so far everything else is fine in moderation.

[10] months June

June doesn't feel great this morning, but she still gave some big smiles during the photo session. :)

Diapers: size 3

Clothes:   6-9 months, 6-12 months, and 9 months, but we are starting to put some away. :( If we were in cloth diapers, we would definitely have to move up.

Growing Up:  June has gotten fast at crawling! Just this week she has moved to using all fours most of the time. She still crawls with arms and one leg if she wants to get somewhere fast, but she is getting pretty efficient on all fours! She also learned to push herself to sitting. It happened all of a sudden, but she's a pro for sure!  AND June is pulling up. She can get to her knees on pretty much anything, but has a harder time getting all the way up on most things. She is really good at standing up and balancing by herself if she has one hand on a solid surface (even her walker or shopping cart).

Likes: standing up while holding someone's fingers/leaning on something, crinkly noises (especially wipe bags), pulling ALLLL the wipes out, watching big brother, finding mommy in a room, crawling, peeking around corners, smiling, being thrown in the air, doing airplane, playing peek a boo (especially with Cooper), watching people in mirrors, watching people in general, getting into all of Coop's toys, trying to pull up on anything and everything, pulling books off her shelf, trying to stand up (she ends up doing downward facing dog. it's so cute!)

Dislikes: mommy leaving the room, being tired and having to eat real food, mommy feeling for teeth, getting her nose cleaned, sitting in poop any longer than 1 second

Schedule:  We are mostly on a schedule, though different activities disrupt it.

[9] June

Another month has flown by!

Diapers: size 3 (a friend gave us 3 boxes of diapers!)

Clothes:   6-9 months, 6-12 months, and 9 months

Growing Up: June LOVES eating. She eats pretty much anything we give her, with her favorite being spinach burger and egg. We have started giving her most of what we are having at supper, and she is LOVING it! Pears, sweet potatoes, and blueberries are her other favorites.  June started CRAWLING! She started doing a small one arm scoot when we got back from MS, but didn't actually move forward.  January 5 after nap, she just woke up and was using two arms to get around! She has since added some leg action, but isn't on all fours just yet.  She can get up on all fours though. She has also pulled up to her knees a few times. June also got TWO teeth! It's been a big month!

Likes: standing up while holding someone's fingers/leaning on something, crinkly noises (especially wipe bags), links, watching big brother, finding mommy in a room, moving/rolling around, smiling, trying to sit up, being thrown in the air, doing airplane, playing peek a boo (especially with Cooper), watching people in mirrors, watching people in general, crawling around, getting into all of Coop's toys, raking toys off the bottom shelf

Dislikes: mommy leaving the room, being tired and having to eat real food, mommy feeling for teeth, getting her nose cleaned, sitting in poop any longer than 1 second

Schedule:  We are mostly on a schedule, though different activities disrupt it.

Our hard work on our sleeping is paying off! She is usually just up once a night, but occasionally twice. It's amazing how much better I feel with more sleep.

Moments: First Christmas, she's lived in 2 different years

Weight: 17lbs
Height: 28.5 inches
Head: 44 cm

And peaches are back in- June LOVES eating them, too!

[8] months June

8 whole months! 

Diapers: cloth and size 3

Clothes:  I am squeezing her into a couple of Christmas outfits that are 6 months, but she's really in 6-9, 6-12, and 9 months.

Growing Up: June LOVES eating. She eats pretty much anything we give her, but pasta seems to be her least favorite. Pears, sweet potatoes, and zucchini are still the favorite. June isn't crawling yet (which surprises us!), but she can get to where she wants to go by rolling, moving in circles, pushing herself backwards, or pushing with her legs when she's on her back. She also has ZERO teeth, but I can see two that just haven't pushed through the gum yet (bottom).

Likes: kicking her legs, sitting up, standing up while holding someone's fingers/leaning on something, crinkly noises (especially wipe bags), links, watching big brother, finding mommy in a room, squealing, jumparoo, moving/rolling around, smiling, trying to sit up, chewing on cloth, feeling different textures, being thrown in the air, doing airplane, playing peek a boo (especially with Cooper), watching people in mirrors

Dislikes: mommy leaving the room, poopy diapers, being tired and having to eat real food, mommy feeling for teeth

Schedule:  We are mostly on a schedule, though different activities disrupt it.

7:15-7:30- up

We have worked really hard since we got home from Baltimore to get her down to twice a night wakings. She even only woke up once one night. So the nights are still long, but we are getting there. Her second feeding is creeping closer and closer to her wake up time, so I'm hoping she will drop that in the next few weeks on her own. We will sleep one day! (At this age, Cooper slept through the night most nights... sigh.)

Moments: June had her first cold this month... while we were driving to Baltimore. First trip to urgent care (in Baltimore). And first ear infection. :( She did really well on the 800 mile drive though, and now has been to VA, WV, and MD. She also celebrated her first Thanksgiving.

And her tummy has gotten over corn and beans... I'm so excited for chili and cornbread. Dairy still upsets her reflux, and I haven't tried peaches yet. Add that to my to-do list.
