32 Months.

Naomi turned 32 months on Feb 19th. I haven't updated on a lot of her developments in so long. At 32 months, with her new role as big sister, she has been forced to grow up a lot in the last 6 weeks. Some of this growing up she embraces whole heartedly, she loves to rock Mikaela in the bouncer to try and soothe her, she loves to help with simple chores around the house...but some of the changes she's fought tooth and nail. She gets upset when she can't be carried all the time, especially because she sees Mikaela being carried. Even though she knows how to use the potty, she's reverted to wearing diapers all the time because, "she's still a baby". All in all she's adjusted to life with Mikaela quite well. She doesn't get upset when Mikaela is wailing away, causing Mommy or Daddy to stop playing with her to check on the baby. She loves to "check" on Mikaela when she hears her crying. She gets that certain toys and blankets are for the baby rather than her.
At 32 months, Naomi has fully embraced being a girly girl. She is obsessed with nail polish, jewelry, shoes and clothes. She'll notice what everyone is wearing, and will comment on my outfit every day. On the RARE occasion that I wear an outfit more than one day in a row, she'll loudly say, "Mommy, you're wearing that AGAIN!!?"
She loves wearing dresses. She begs everyday to wear a "pretty dress".

She loves Hello Kitty, we had a couple of weeks last month where she had to wear a Hello Kitty shirt or dress every day.
She is also obsessed with wearing pockets and refuses to wear her winter coat that I bought for her this year because it doesn't have any. Instead she wears her coat from last year..which is for 6-12mth olds. Oh well.
She loves music and dancing and is always singing or dancing.

Her mouth is always running...if she's not talking she's singing. Usually songs she's made up or silly songs she's learned at daycare.
She can spell her name, and can type it out on a keyboard.
She loves arts and crafts, especially coloring, painting, anything to do with scissors and glue sticks. In fact she's painting with water colors right now as I type. Austin is asleep with Mikaela on his chest.
She's becoming such a big kid now. I look at her and MIkaela and marvel at how quickly they grow up.
