Whitney is now 3 1/2. I always say these 6 month milestones are huge!
She has changed so much since her 3rd birthday. She is talking, talking, talking and it is so darn cute! Though this age has brought a lot of drama and many meltdowns and really the hardest age yet, I have to say I love this age. I love the little conversations we have. I love the hilarious things she says. I love watching her observing all the little things and asking questions about everything.
The best part of the day is when she comes over and gives me the biggest, longest hug and says, "I love you, Mama". This girl is so loving and affectionate. She showers us with kisses but my favorite thing to watch is her love on her little brother. Seeing the bond they have already is just amazing. Whitney is and is going to be the best big sister.
Imaginative play is in full force now. She loves pretending that Mickey and Minnie are coming over to play. We go to the front door and let them in. They have tea parties or play doctor. She also loves to get all her stuffed animal friends involved. We each get a friend and have them talk to each other. She could do this ALL day long!
She loves to color. She gets very focused and will sit for a good half hour and just color. Right now we are big on our Winnie the Pooh coloring book. She typically just chooses one color for the page and goes to town. She is getting very good at staying in the lines. Another favorite activity is play dough. Many hours are spent with play dough but man does it make a mess. Now that Colin is on the move we have to make sure he isn't eating it off the floor! And she loves puzzles. She is really good too!
My favorite Whitney quote from the last few months really sums this girl up. "Mama, I want to fly. I want to fly like a bird. I want to bounce on the clouds"!
Excited for her big girl carseat.
