Spotlight on Phoebe!

Phoebe Grace will be 3 next month. She's a big girl now! At 2 years, 11 months, she:

-Still nurses once a day (sometimes every other day)

-Is potty trained...even at night (no more Pull-Ups!)

-Loves her sister even though they fight over toys a lot

-Knows all her letters (upper and lower case) and is starting to recognize certain written words

-Can't say the R or Th sounds. We should work on this soon, but it is so cute that I am hesitant to see it change. I LOVE when she says something is "wight he-uw" (right here).

-Weighs 25 whole pounds. She's still such a little pixie.

-Loves puzzles and building blocks. She has intense concentration when she is working on these things. We think she is a mathematical genius and will rule the world some day.

-Is the cutest thing ever. Seriously. A total adorable little love bug.
