At 22 mos old - Alayna is quite the character. She seems so "grown up" to me - sometimes it makes me a little sad and other times it just makes me smile. She's so funny. She's very different from Grant - spunkier! :) She's really been a lot of fun and changed so much over the last couple of months. What is there to know about Alayna right now? 
- Things she says:
Overall Alayna is a very happy girl with lots of smiles to share. Often in the store she says a very cheery "hi" to everyone we meet.
- moved up to size 4 diapers - those size 3 just were pinching her little legs :)
- not a ton of potty interest yet
- just moved from her high chair to a booster seat at the dinner table - boy does she feel like a BIG GIRL
- is currently getting 4 teeth all at the same time. Can't remember what the name of them is, but they are all the same on the top and bottom
- still getting teeth = still using her Nuk. Hoping to conquer getting rid of the nuk after these teeth make their way in and THEN maybe attempt a shot at potty training
- 18-24 mos clothes and size 5 shoe
- likes to play outside in the snow - not a huge fan of the sled, but like to play with everything else out there - buckets, shovels, tow-mater, etc
- started pulling one leg up on her crib during timeouts like she was going to escape...needless to say we had to make sure it was as low as it could go and sure enough there was one more level. Hopefully that will help for a little while anyway.
yeah....she doesn't really realize this is to keep her in :) HEHE!
(Grant thought he needed to help keep her safe too)
- Things she says:
* she's actually very good with her manners - even using them without being asked quite often
* hearing Mommy sneeze in another room - I often hear "bless you Mom!" from Miss Alayna
* Lately after being asked not to do something anymore..."ok, I won't" :)
* "watch Mommy, watch" (or whomever she is talking to)
- when given juice to drink she DOWNS it before eating/drinking anything else. I guess maybe because she knows how infrequently she gets it?
- still take naps every afternoon, however has gone from her 3-3.5 hr naps in the summer to 2 hr naps...:(
- LOVES, LOVES, LOVES racing for anything. If there is something you want Alayna to do, get or somewhere she needs to go simply say "I'm gonna beat you" and she's gone!
Overall Alayna is a very happy girl with lots of smiles to share. Often in the store she says a very cheery "hi" to everyone we meet.
