We are one month away from Robin’s 2nd Birthday! This past month she has really taken off with putting words together, counting (1-12), repeating EVERYTHING, and forming short sentences. She still has the forever cute toddler-isms, though. Our favorites are, “Kee kee up!” (pick me up) and “ah-buh-self” (all by myself). She also loves the word, “actually” and says, “actually, mine!” and “actually, my turn!” frequently. Robin wakes up almost every day asking to see the deer, who we’ve seen almost daily this past month, and she makes us laugh by carefully telling us where she thinks the deer are: “Deer in-na-driveway”; “Deer. Up. Hill.”; “Deer. In. Backyard?”; “(a)Cross-Da-Street!”. She also counts the deer, and for some reason there are always four: “One. Two. Three. FOUR Deers!”

Robin has been picking up Spanish more, as well. She repeats words with ease and uses phrases to refer to going places and putting clothes on.

She plays more sweetly with Lilly and has been playing well with friends (and less pushing, thank goodness). As Bill says, I think we’ll keep her. 🙂
