23 MONTHS OLD!!!

I'll be brief here... :) BUT I do want to say a little bit about what Jenna is doing at this stage... At 23 months Jenna has more and more words. I will take her to the store and she will point out everything by name as we make our way through the store. She still loves her books - especially the ones with songs. She will point to the page, which means she wants you to sing the song on the page and then she will sing along with you. She calls Ava "Eeeahhh", Amelia "Mena", Andrew "Drew". Just within the past few weeks, Jenna has discovered TV (especially The Wiggles videos we have). She knows to go to the basement door and point to it to ask for it. She loves to dance when those tapes are playing. Jenna is still a climber. Our friends we see a few times a year were in town this weekend and were very worried for Jenna as she climbed on the countertops, tables and brought her chairs all around the kitchen to get higher and higher. This has all become old hat to Dave and I, we forget sometimes that Jenna is a such a super climber. Today I have boxes out to pack for the move and little did I realize that Jenna had been packing her own box and climbed on the counter to get the packing tape and unrolled some tape to tape up her box! We are amazed at everything Jenna picks up just from the littlest observation. One other thing I would like to note...we are actually having nights where Jenna is sleeping right through! Yes, a miracle at almost 2.

Dave is flying to Toronto today for work. He'll be back on Friday.
