New things for our little Elsie:
Loves monkey time and airplane time
Favorite songs right now: Wheels on the bus, twinkle twinkle little star and itsy bitsy spider
LOVES her bike from Mary and Sam. Rides it up and down the side walk. Refuses to let me hold her or bike. Likes her helmet but says it's tight even though it's not.
Loves all playgrounds, slides, swings, trying the monkey bars, and walking up slides
Would live outside, likes to go out without asking.
TV shows: Pinkalicious, Daniel Tiger, not so much Elmo lately
Loves playing Hide and seek and Where's Elmo (we hide Elmo around the house and plya hot-cold so she can find it).
Tries to count but doesn't really know order, but knows what numbers are, like she'll count our eyeballs "one-two-nine". Doesn't mix in other words.
Knows all her colors and most shapes.
Loves bouncing on her trampoline
Waking dad up in the morning by climbing on bed and sitting on face and cuddling.
Strong feet and loves going barefoot outside whenever possible
Sleep routine lately consists of watching ~15 min of "baby" (cocomelon Youtube channel with lots of kids songs), then get PJs on, new diaper, say good-night to whoever is not bringing her up, then go upstairs, have a bottle (still, I know...), sing a song or 20 (usually twinkle twinkle or row row row your boat), rock a little bit then put her in bed awake and we leave the room. At this point a couple things happen: (1) She is really tired and goes right to bed (~5% of time), (2) She hangs out in there for 5-15 min then screams for one of us, we go up there and rock/sing a little more, put her back in bed and ~5-15 min later she puts herself to sleep (~80% of the time), (3) she is super not interested in bed and we repeat #2 as many times as needed and she FINALLY EVENTUALLY decides to go to bed, usually takes an hour (~15% of time :( )

Loves baths, lately been sorting the foam color letters by color as she sticks them to teh wall.
Dinnertime!
Getting great vocabulary, lots of chit chat, singing and talking in sentences. Everyone comments how well she talks for her age.
Ring around the Rosie
Baby cocomelon on YouTube
Road trips way easier but lots of screen time, except when Spencer sits in the back with her and gets her to sleep right away... :\
Jumping and skipping everywhere! Good at landing jumps off of steps and she's got some hops.
Marching around in circles back!
Biking!
New baby from Grandma, up to 5 now.
Loves sticker books!!!
Favorite foods Lima beans, avocado, buns, noodles, shredded cheese, goldfish, veggie sticks,
