- Joy is into everything....and loves to run, although usually trips.
- She is busy adjusting to live with a new brother...some days are better than others.
- Exerting her will....which is trying to us as her parents.
- Pretend cooking with her play food from namma Condie.
- Wrapping her baby and moose in the blanket that namma Lorna made.
- Playing in the new suitcase that mommy and daddy got, pretending it is a boat.
- Total teeth: 12 (she has been working on all 4 "i" teeth for the last month....they have caused nothing but pain and sleeplessness for the girl.
What Joy is saying: Joy is a chatterbox! She likes to "sing" along to music.
It is too hard to keep track of all the words that Joy is saying, I would say she is up over 50 words. She is putting two & three words together which is really cute. Some of our favorite words she says right now are (she has a little speech impediment so they come out really cute!)
* mooth (moose)
*kaboom
* baf (bath)
*loloo (stroller)
*watch out namma (grandma)
*go away ants

Eats:
Sleeps:Sleep has been a bit weird with baby brother, or it could just be a cycle she is going through. Thankfully today she slept until 7am again but the last month she has been up at 6am....UGLY.
Favorite event: Having both Grandmas in Hong Kong to visit! Baby brother Simon's birth :-)
Eats:
- Loves: Our girl loves to eat and is very adventurous (although sometimes I have to hide a few of her least favorite vegetables like beans). She likes broccoli again, which is fun. However she is very opinionated about what she wants to eat and it can take some effort to get her to eat something that is not on her requested list of the day.
- Dairy Free: Sometimes I feel sad that Joy can't have dairy as it is one of my favorite food groups. Oh well!
- Still gives us trouble: Carrots and bananas are back on the diet if she eats them in moderation.
- Night time: 7pm-7am
- Naps: One afternoon nap (2 hours)
Likes:
*Swings and the park-getting out of the house
* Watering the plants with dad on the roof.
* Anything to do with a moose. It all started when Grandma Condie brought the book "If you give a moose a muffin", then she bought her a little moose animal....and the icing on the cake Great Aunt Brenda gave her a stuffed toy moose (she didn't even know that Joy loves moose right now).
* Patting baby brother's back and check diapers for poop (although she is very disappointed when the diapers don't have poop in them)
*She likes daddy putting her to bed now, which is great!
Is learning.....
* to listen to mommy and daddy, being nice and gentle with baby brother. We fear the terrible twos are upon us and she is only 18 months....pray for us!
* to share mommy with Simon
Dislikes: When mommy is nursing Simon (which is all the time!), not getting her own way....* Watering the plants with dad on the roof.

If Joy is anything like her cousins, she will mellow out when she turns 2 & then you'll have the "trying" threes. The threes have been the most difficult part for us, thus far. I'm praying for you all! :-)
