20 months old

Where in the world does the time go?

My littlest woman is 20 months old today. I refuse to think about the fact that she'll be 2 in only 4 months, and focus on the fact that she's only 1 today. I get very sentimental thinking that they both keep getting older, but I suppose that's the way it goes. I definitely love all the new experiences though each and every day, and wouldn't trade it for the world. I suppose it just gives me that much more reason and validation to taking pictures and videos constantly; I can't bottle them up this little forever, so I'll settle for cementing moments in time through photographs.

Miss Beebster is on a kick these days where she likes to throw things in the trashcan. She loves to get wipes and 'clean' when I allow her. And, then she runs as fast as she can to the trashcan to throw it away. Not to mention she also throws away other things like hair ties, etc.

Yesterday I put on 10 minutes of "Finding Nemo" to see what she thought. I can't get over the fact that Faith's already at the age that Maddie was when we moved in to these apartments. I remember letting Maddie watch bits and pieces of 'Nemo' because we didn't have our box of DVD's yet from storage, and I had borrowed the movie from Uncle Schnoogo. That started the cascade effect of infatuation with Disney's from Maddie, and I'm hoping that Faith will love them just the same. She really liked the little bit of 'Nemo' that I showed her and laughed and waved to Crush and the little turtles. Other than that, her favorites are still 'Mickey Mouse Clubhouse' and 'Backyardigans.' Although there is a 3-minute segment that comes on right after 'Mickey Mouse Clubhouse' in the mornings. It's called 'Happy Monster Band.' She LOVES, LOVES, LOVES these little monsters! She starts screaming like a teenage girl when she sees them and starts to wave.

The little woman has had no time-out's this week; I am very proud to report this. The 20-month old is still the apple of big sis' eye, the number 1 fan of her daddy-o, and forever my little Beebster.
