Once again, I'm trying to write to my children each year as the year ends. I'll start with you, Pippi Jane! Oh how your mommy loves her girl! You are an absolute JOY! Well, most of the time, anyways! You are the stereotypical baby of the family. We allow you to do things that we NEVER would have dreamed of with the other kids! I think it's partly because I've always known you were going to be my very last baby. You've always needed extra snuggles and squeezes! Before you, our bed was a kid-free zone! No questions asked! Then came our baby girl! You were sick from the time you were about 4 months old, until your last surgery (in March). That meant a lot of long nights, and you would go back to sleep if Mommy and Daddy snuggled you for a bit... It's pretty rare for you to sleep with us, but sometimes it's mom's only option! You also Love to be held. You follow me around for the better part of the day with your arms up saying, "I need you Mommy, I really need you!" How do you say no to that? You are such a smart, fun little girl! You talk up a storm, but honestly only Mommy understands most of what you say! You love to dance to my Ipod in the kitchen. You love to play with babies, backpacks, your kitchen, your bike, and outside. You've been a thumbsucker for the past year or so, but mommy has been putting the icky nail polish on your thumbs this week. You stopped just like that! Crazy! You were a breeze to potty train, too! We've had the occaisional accident, but you've been potty trained for months now! You also have the memory of an elephant! I can ask you days later where something is, and you always go right to it. You love to help mom and dad package up boxes for our ebay store. You always sit down in Daddy's lap and "help." You won't really watch tv. That's a bit frustrating at times, but you've always just been an "on the go" kind of kid. We love that about you! You just wander all over the house all day long!
You're the best little eater and sleeper! You sleep around 12 hours at night, and then nap for around 3 hours in the afternoon. You'll eat nearly anything! You can easily eat more than the other kids.
You love anything Tangled related! You just started watching parts of the movie, and it's the only thing you'll sit still for! You also pick up on words in songs. You'll repeat any words you can, so mommy has to really watch what we listen to! You love to color and paint. You're also a master summersaulter. It's hilarious! You'll randomly stop what you're doing and just do a summersault. I love it! You're getting kind of naughty as of late, but they don't call them the Terrible Twos for nothing! You despise time out, so you are usually good after a warning. We're really trying not to let you get your way all of the time. It's so easy to make the screaming or whining stop, but we're trying to put our foot down! Not so easy with our baby girl!
You are an absolute blessing to your Mommy and Daddy Miss Pippi Jane! We love you!!!
