23 months

We've had a really busy month this month. All the holiday festivities kept us hopping and made the month go by so fast. I really can't believe I'm writing the last monthly blog before she turns 2. I just can't think about it too much without getting teary so I'll just move on to the highlights.

***We have pee-pee in the potty! On Christmas Eve, Todd was getting Aubrey out of the bathtub and she said "potty." So he sat her on the potty and after a few minutes, she actually managed to pee and Todd went nuts. I was downstairs cooking when he starts yelling at me to come upstairs. I run upstairs thinking something is wrong and he tells me she peed in the potty so I go nuts with him. We are trying to make it a big deal so she'll keep doing it, but so far she's only done it 1 more time. But, its a start!
***She had her first white Christmas. So beautiful.
***She's using even more 2 word phrases, such as telling Bailey to "sit down" and telling us "right here."
***She had her first request from daycare to be out for 24 hours because of too much "number 2." She was fine and had no fever, so we went shopping while everyone else worked and went to school.
***She also threw her first full on kicking and screaming tantrum in public during that shopping trip. That was not fun for anyone.
***She took her first shower and was not too happy about it. So, we'll stick to baths for now.
