Autumn at 29 Months Old

I was toying around the blog today, looking at old posts.  I am so glad I have used this blog to keep track of things going on in our lives.  It's so nice to look back at old pictures of Autumn or my monthly posts about her growth.  I am looking forward to having an even better record of Olivia's first year.  Anyways, all that looking around made me want to do an update on Autumn.  She is now 29 months old and is very much moving from toddler to preschooler.  The other day Tia and I picked her up from school and Tia was blown away, but Autumn's speech and vocabulary.  If you haven't been around her much in a few weeks or months then you will be amazed at how much of a little person she is becoming.  Here are some stats and pics updates:



• Height - don't have any idea, although she still seems a little tall compared to some of the other kids in her class.
• Weight - 27 lbs according to my scale
• Clothes - mostly in size 2T, but she wears some 3T's, especially in PJ's
• Potty Training - she does great using the potty, but she doesn't always tell us when she needs to go.  We're trying to have her wear only panties on the weekends and she has done pretty well.  The other day we went to the galleria and she ran over to the water feature.  It shoots water down from above the 2nd floor to a fountain down below.  As she is watching the water feature she starts peeing in her panties.  Great!  It wasn't too horrible and practice is the only way she is going to learn.  We run out of diapers in the next month or so and I have cancelled any future orders.  Once we run out then we switch full time to panties - at least that is the plan.
• I don't know if I ever updated it on here or not, but Autumn quit using her pacifier on New Year's Eve.  We just took it away and didn't give it back ever.  She has done pretty good without it.
• Likes - Autumn loves her baby dolls, especially her princesses.  She has a baby Ariel and a baby Cinderella doll and she calls them Baby Autumn and Baby Lilly.  She is FINALLY saying her name and she will even say Autumn Walker when prompted.  She also knows my name is "Manda".  Autumn also loves Minnie Mouse, Doc McStuffins, Little Einsteins and of course her Mimi.  She is very attached to Mimi.  Autumn loves to color, paint, play with play dough and bubbles.  Autumn also loves to play dress up, like princesses of course.  Autumn loves going to the park and will often ask if she can go to the outside park or the inside park (chick-fil-a).  Autumn is a Daddy's girl and she loves playing with him and being tickled and thrown around by him.  She still says Daddy is her prince.

Rodeo Time!




Drinking her "coffee" as she calls it.




She likes to pick out her own clothes and they have to match of course!
