Oh my we've been away from the blog for a while! We are back with new Sequoia pictures and news. There is a Christmas post in the works too =)So what's new with the world of Sequoia? The most notable thing is that she is a full-on toddler now. No more baby stuff for her. It is amazing looking at the pictures of her from Thanksgiving and comparing them to now--she is such a big girl! She looks adorable in ponytails, but they don't last long. She just likes having her hair up like Addie for 5 seconds at a time, 10 seconds on patient days.
She is all about dressing up lately. She wears her silky fairy skirt just about every day. We get many compliments when we are out and about. She also likes dressing up in her pirate costume (she says "arr"), and her various knit garments ("special Grandma dress," "special Mommy blanket").
She also loves playing with her new table and chairs, which she has vigorously personalized with crayon. Her oven is another favorite. She is not so much into pretending to cook things in it, but she enjoys dropping various stuffed animals through the range and getting them back out through the oven door. She also has been making a bunch of new music on her little piano. She likes to sing la-la-la while she plays--definitely a future band child.
Here is a list of new common Sequoia sayings:I like it! I love it!
I love you.
Yum! Smells good.
I did it!
Climb up top. Careful! Fall down.
So...on the bottom?
Sequoia happy. Good morning.
No thank you.Come here (insert noun)
Bye bye, later, right back.
Oh nice! (the inflection on this one is awesome)
On top of all of this wonderful stuff, Sequoia is also starting potty practice time. Our bathroom looks so strange without the kitty/baby gate. She even has special Elmo panties. We've been having a good start, and we're being very low-key about it.
There is probably a whole lot more that I can't think of right now...oh well. Here are the latest pictures. Check out the one where she is holding her dinosaur's hand...too cute!
