20 Months

*Loves to sing. The best part of my day is watching her try to "sing" while she dances all over the living room with her princess figures. Mostly it sounds like loud, long talking but she doesn't sing actual words, so it just makes me laugh. Occasionally you will hear words like "prince" "come" (Someday my Prince with Come) and today she sang "work" after doing the tune to "whistle while you work" It is pretty adorable.
*She also likes to sing real songs. She could sing nursery/primary songs all day long. Her favorites are Book of Mormon Stories (she does the hand movements and everything), The Wiseman Built His House Upon the Rock (Rock hand movements included), Popcorn, I Love to See the Temple, I Belong To The Church of Jesus Christ of LDS, Once There was a Snowman. She always tries to get us to sing "baby Jesus song" which means any song with baby Jesus in it (mostly Away in a Manger). Apparently it is still Christmas at our should because she constantly wants to sing Christmas songs!
*She is getting so smart. She loves to sing the ABC's and will fill in the G, LMNOP, S, V, X, and Z if I pause at the right times during the song.
*She is also learning how to identify the letters. We have these foam letters she plays with in the bathtub and she can identify the O, L, M, A, E, R, X, B, C, D. I need to add more letters to the ones we do all the time so she can learn more of them.
*She is learning how to count. She can do 1 and 2. Then I help her to 4 but then she knows 5,6,7,8 and then I help her with 9 and 10. I think soon, she will be able to count to 10 on her own.
*She is learning her colors too. She gets red 100% of the time and then the other colors about 70% of the time (like blue, green, pink, and yellow).
*She is really good at her puzzles (especially the shapes one and can put all the shapes where they go without help.)
*Loves nursery so much! On Sundays if I tell her we are going to Church/Nursery today she will ask me a million times to take her to Church (we have 1 pm Church so she asks me all morning long). She knows that in nursery you sing songs and color, so what's there not to like. She still doesn't LOVE us leaving her there but I think she is getting used to it, because there is no more crying when we leave. The leaders say she is constantly asking "Where'd mom go?" and "Where'd dad go?" the whole time, which is totally adorable.
*LOVES her baby brother. She always comes up to my belly and says, "I want to see him" which really means she wants to see my actual belly. Then she kisses and snuggles my belly and pats it softly and says, "Hi, baby brother." It's darling and melts my heart every time.
