21 Months

I'm not sure when it happened but my baby is an independent little toddler. And much like her mom she is a talker. She loves to sing and knows the words to quite a few songs. My favorite to listen to her sing is a bicycle built for two, which we refer to as Daisy. She's a smart little cookie too as she counts to 20 pretty well for the most part (sometimes she skips 15 or 16) but i think is pretty impressive.

We listen to music quite a bit so I shouldn't be surprised by the songs she knows but here is a list of them

Mary had a little lamb
Bicycle built for two
The bear went over the mountain
Mickey Mouse Club House
Daisy Bo Peep
The Itsy Bitsy Spider
It's Raining It's Pouring
Head Shoulders Knees Toes
Old McDonald
The Ants go Marching
The Muffin Man
Row Row Row your boat
Twinkle Twinkle
Where oh where has my little dog gone
Hotdog Hotdog

I'm sure there are more but those were the ones that i could think of. We are trying to teach her you are my sunshine for Jym's gramma and while she will sing it with you she won't sing it by herself.  She is an absolute treasure but she is definitely more work these days. Her newest thing is to say 'nononononononononono' when she doesn't want to do something. She has her tantrums like any child but I think we are able to keep those down a little because she is so vocal and able to verbalize what she wants.  I love to watch her try something new and she can be so focused on things and is inquisitive. She loves trains and animals and of course Mickey and friends.

In January we are taking her to Disney World and I'm so excited to be able to give her that experience. I'm just hoping that the big characters don't frighten her.
